Seriously

After my last post, there seemed to be a lot of people questioning my honesty/sanity/knowledge of what phallic pasta looks like. My husband even went so far as to suggest I read an online article discussing how gummy candy shaped like lighthouses, when turned the proper way, can look like a part of the male anatomy. (Like that makes better sense – a rogue shipment of lighthouse-shaped pasta made it’s way to a grocery store in Kyiv?)

So here’s your proof: I am now the proud owner of a package of “Sweet Dreams” pasta. Yes. That’s actually what the tag on the shelf said.

Penis Pasta

Let that be a lesson to you – and you know who you are – never question me again.

    Do you serve it al dente?

    Did the cashier give you that “knowing/judgy look” when you paid for your purchase? :-P

    Well, Ukrainian “customer service professionals” come in two varieties:

    1. Surly ones that insist on staring at you as if they wish you would die the entire time they’re “helping” you. (This comprises about 95% of the workforce.)

    2. Ones that think it’s funny and/or cute that you’re not from here and are making a lame attempt to communicate with them in Russian.

    So, since I was lucky enough to get one of the latter types, she was giggling at me the entire time I was checking out. I’m just not sure if it was because of my foreign-ness, my purchase, or a combination of both.

    Jennifer,

    Your Mom works with my wife at the SJC Library. She thought we would enjoy this post. Thanks. It brightened my morning.
