Why On Earth Did You Buy THAT?

Friday, July 30, 2010




Oh.


Well, ok, then.


Seriously, I think I've just found my new favorite Wreckerator here. Way to work to your product's strengths, my friend! In fact, if you need any more ideas, I have a few suggestions:

"It beats jello"

"95% of diets fail anyway"

"Cheaper than therapy"

"It was this or rhubarb pie."

"The end MIGHT be nigh"


Ok, that's all I've got. Have anything better? Then gimmie your best 1-line Wreck sales pitch in the comments, and tonight I'll randomly select someone who makes me laugh to win a signed copy of Cake Wrecks, the book:
.
Only $5.20 on Amazon! Woot! Stock up!

I'll announce the winner in tomorrow's post, so check back then.

Now, quick, go BE FUNNY. Chop chop!

When I first started decorating, I got really frustrated trying to decorate a particular cake, so I just wrote, "I am stupid poop cake. Kill me now." and shoved it back in the freezer. (It was my last week at the job).

Well Elizabeth beat me to the "A lie" Everyone beat me to the "Eat me." And Pip's "Pick me, the dohnuts aren't fresh" made me guffaw. So I've no idea what to offer.

On arrival at the supermarket when asked to buy the birthday cake for that boss that really no one in the office liked, this not only reminded me of her face and temperament (pale, uninteresting far too thick and cracked) but it also provided the best sentiment for all the staff who actually bothered to put the money in for it.
