Phish Food Alert, that is!
The easiest restroom to access at the Union Square Macy's just happens to be right next to the only Ben & Jerry's I can think of in San Francisco...no wait, there might be one in Haight& Ashbury...not an area I frequent enough. Anyway, this particular B&J + restroom combo is a ridiculous amount of geographical torture and I constantly think about writing a lengthy letter to the planning commission of the Macy's basement food court.
I mean, is it really fair to waft that glorious waffle cone scent and display buckets of deliciously sinful ice cream to those OBVIOUSLY en route to a VERY ice-cream-restricted zone? Think about it. How disgusting would it be to see someone pick up a kid size scoop of Phish Food only to waltz into a stall? Where would they put it? What about all the bathroom molecules that would end up in the scoop?? Gross, right? Bleagh. I suppose you could always pick one up on your way back out of the restroom (post washing hands, of course).
Luckily for me, I can typically convince myself to escape scot-free and usually sprint back upstairs to look at newest purse on sale. When I'm with others, however, peer-pressure gets the best of me. Damn you, Ben and Jerry!
So, I'm innocently waiting for a friend to use the restroom the other day, involuntarily picking out the flavor I would soon be convinced to enjoy, when I spotted this:
What? What the what? Little bags labeled "Just the Chunks". Now before you throw up a little in your mouth like I did at the thought of what could possibly be in the bag.....
That's right! Ever wonder if your pint of CoffeeCoffeeBuzzBuzzBuzz or giant scoop of deliciously simple Strawberry could use a major boost of fun-shaped chocolate chunks? Well then, you'd be super pleased to know that select scoop shops are now carrying bags of the little chocolate phish (phish food), and peace signs (whirled peace), and cows (surf&turf...has both phish&cows) that are typically only available after digging around all that ice cream! Pure brilliance, I tell you. Pure brilliance.
And now the fun part....
CHUNKY GIVEAWAY!

I would use it to tantalize my son into possibly peeing in the potty. Though I've used just about every sweet known to man, he simply replies a casual, "nope" when I ask him to try going wee on the pot. He knows he gets anything he wants from his grandparents anyway. grrrr.
So in all honesty...I would probably scarf them down myself while turning my back to him so he couldn't see. :)
Phish Food Phish Food! My faaaaaaaaaavorite Ben & Jerry's temptation!!! I cant lie..."What would i do with a bag of phish chuncks?" Eat em!...with a carton of Phis Food, on the couch, while watching the greatest 2 hours of television (Thursday 8-10pm FYI. No, not creative but true none the less.
i just liked the potty descripton... why would anyone buy before going?!?!?! helllllooo people, just get it on your way out!
me?? probably add them to some yucky concoction that only i'd find yummy
oh! we have a couple ben & jerry's around here, but the one i seem to always stop at is in western mass., by one of my hospitals. we have some in the mall food courts too. yum yum!
i would bring them on my interview thursday to "convince" corporate to give me this job :)
hmmm. there are too many thoughts. i've been up since 5am, so please forgive me....
1. teach jack the 'correct' sounds of said animals. auntie kasar thinks it's a blast to teach jack that chickens mooooooo.
2. steal lauren's idea about the potty - we've majorly regressed. however, grandpa always provides the 'breakfast of champions' (enter candy + soda), so i'm not sure about the incentive there.
3. use them to convince my schools to 'phish' around and get students that are interested in SAT prep to sign up for our courses. or have them 'moooooove' the other companies off campus. maybe make a shirt that says 'peace, love, and the SATs' to deliver peace signs. or maybe give them to the students so they feel 'peace' of mind when they venture in to take the official. maybe i should buy my own bag, i have some great cheesy marketing ideas! :).
i must really want these chunks.
I would whip up a coffee semifreddo, and top it with phishies, peace signs, and cows, then we would invite the Kantaharas over to enjoy it =)
First watch the movie Lollilove on Netflix on demand. Then you'll understand my reason.
I would give them to the homeless in a miniature piece of artwork to let them know I care.
i'd probably just put them in the package for YOU that is still sitting on my desk here at work, because they'd probably get to me before i ever send this package out. grr, i must mail this package! i will... promise!(but now it's lame compared to the pkg you sent me, though i am borrowing your box).
hey remember when we used to go to ben & jerry's so that i could stalk a certain boy who worked there? did i make you come with me? i must have.
i couldn't finish reading the post becuase i was so grossed out by potty particles on ice cream. i think that's the fastest i've gone from wanting to eat ice cream to being totally grossed out.
potty particles. on ice cream. gross.
