Oh sure, when you hear the word "hit," the first thing that pops into your head is this:
Mike Tyson's Punch Out. You hit people right? Or maybe, for some sick reason, the first thing you think of is this:
Quite possibly the only picture of Britney you'll ever see on this site! I'd hit her one more time...and again...and again...and again...well, you get the point!
BUT, those are not the hits I'm talking about! No, it's something else entirely. First, a little background though. See, I go to college in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan. Up here, you tend to get some very weird food products. Pasties. Blue Ox. Packer specials at McDonald's, but a lot of the weird things can be bought at Northern Michigan University's convenience store: Cat Trax. Well, now is the time they try to rid themselves of all the extra stock and one of their fantastic items is Hit Cookies.
Hit Cookies. They were made in Poland, according to the wrapper. Looking at the list of ingredients, we spy something known only as Liquid Invert Sugar. Oh, how I wish I knew what that was. However, I know of certain people who have eaten hair removal cream, so we'll press ever onward!
See? It says "Hit" right on it. No sir, there is absolutely no mistaking this cookie here. It's definitely a hit! But wait, I thought to myself, what's on the back?
THE SAME THING!!!! Zounds! Obviously, if its made in Poland and is called Hit, it must be delicious! Still, it was new to me, and I felt the need to check the interior.
Hmmmm. Just as the package advertised, chocolate filling. Strange, even for biscuits, yes biscuits. Just reading the package again, and that's what it says they are! Also, the filling is not only chocolate but delightful as well! I'd never tried delightful myself, but I decided it couldn't be worse than college food, so onward I went.
I bit into one. Slight visions of graham cracker, and yes, definitely chocolate! But did they deserve the name "Hit?" After another bite, I decided, no, no they didn't. "Mediocre" would be a more adequate description. Ah well, there's always Oreo. Just proof you can't expect much from a college convenience store.
And just because this article wasn't such a hit, here's that snow sculpture again:
I still can't get over it, a penis made of snow!
Just a note:
If you like reading this crap, go over to X-Entertainment.com. It's like this only five billion times better. Mad thanx to Matt for inspiring me to actually do something with my crappy Angelfire page.
