It’s been a long time since Shannon and I have gone stenciling together and I miss it. And that feeling was compounded a couple weeks ago when these appeared around the corner from our place:
They’re great.
I went to the Sorauren Farmer’s Market today and only bought some mutant baby carrots. I’m waiting for tomato season to hit, then I will be a happy camper. On the way home, walking past the Nestle factory (which Ari calls Mr Wonka’s) the smell of chocolate almost knocked me down it was so powerful. There’s also a building on the way home that Ari and I have decided that it’s where we will hide out when the zombie apocalypse happens. Because it makes sense to hide in buildings that were abandoned years ago, rather than ones where people lived/worked right up to the end…
We want to stencil badly here, but everyone would know it was us.
Haha, yeah, they always suspect the tattooed folks, even when it’s true!
We live near the Hershey factory and I think it would be a good place to work, although we aren’t quite close enough for that. After the initial gluttony I bet you would get tired of it and find it much easier to resist chocolate which would make any future dieting easier. Plus they probably let you take home lots of little sample sizes, like the kind they give away when you go and visit, so you could give them away to pleased friends and family.
Then again I just watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the other night so probably in the back of my mind I was picturing the job being like that when I thought about this.
I am excited for tomato season too, especially green tomatoes.
I don’t know, I worked at Wendy’s when I was in grade 8-9 for a year and I still love a Big Classic. And I do agree, I think they hand out tons of freebies, it’s the best way to get the word out on how good all the products are. When I was at the grocery store I very intentionally made friends with the candy reps, women that visit variety stores to push candy. They ALWAYS had samples, I ate so much candy…
If I thought we were staying here (UGH MOVING AGAIN??!?!) I’d apply for a job there…
