While on the subway yesterday, I saw something that I just couldn't stop thinking about. A business man, middle age, suit/tie, moustache, reading the paper -- he reached in his pocket and pulled out a box of Dots.

Dots


This blew me away because to be quite frank, this is the bottom of the food chain as far as candy goes. If you've ever had Dots, you know what I'm talking about. They have an odd, waxy texture, they stick to your teeth and if held in your hand long enough, your hand turns the color of the Dot. Why not grab a Twix or a Baby Ruth, something that you feel like you're getting your money's worth. If you must have a jelly candy, go for Chuckles, not Dots. If I were that guy's business associate and I saw him eating Dots, I'd think twice about my business. If he's making that candy choice, what's he doing in every other area?!

There should be a candy magazine...Hmmmmm...



Well, there's 45 minutes I'll never get back. It's 1 AM and I just ate a box of Dots, ha ha...just kidding. Time for bed!

Oh, one more going home story but before I forget, thanks for the messages yesterday -- it's good to know that people still read this crap.

Last item: I was on the bus back to Hoboken last night and I saw an odd billboard that simply said; "I pooted" -- intrigued, I wrote it down on a piece of paper so I could look it up later...turns out, it's just a phrase used on the Cartoon Network's show, Foster's Home. I LOVE GREAT ADVERTISING! And this is pretty good, man! Think about it, I saw it, wrote it down, looked it up and now I'm talking about it on my website. Will I seek out this show? Probably not but if I flip by some day, I'd watch, just to see what the deal is. Good for them.

That's it!

Be real --

Bob
