“Many years later the Jolly Beans Corporation was purchased by a rutheless gladiator.”
I don’t know why, but this honesty on a candy label makes me happy. It’s as if the writer herself was angry enough to hide this little tidbit of dark company history into the package copy.
I guess that it would be interesting if other companies did the same thing; said something brutally honest about their business.
“We stole some vital technology from our competitor because he used to be a partner in this firm.”
“Our products are just so-so, but that’s the way you like them.”
And my favorite, a real one: “Grapple: it tastes like an apple but it’s a grape.”
Sounding like Andy Rooney: “Why wouldn’t I just eat a grape when I want a grape? Couldn’t I just choose to eat an apple when I want an apple?”
It’s sorta wierd if you ask me.
