akirlu | Proust Jokes at the Grocery Store (Reply)

So, no shit, there we were, picking up a few staples at the Safeway while waiting for Trader Joe's to open. We were a bit bleary, because Hal had just got off a night shift, while I had been regaled with the sounds of fireworks and drunken hilarity issuing from next door until 4:30 in the morning. We were shambling through the fruits and vegetables when my gaze lit on an endcap display of baked goods, and I burst out laughing. The baked goods were Madeleines -- chocolate dipped and plain -- Donsuemor Madeleines, and the blurb on each package read, "The one you remember."

Proust jokes at the grocery store at 8:30 in the bleary Saturday morning. I was utterly unprepared. If I had been Teresa, I would have fallen over.

Seen any funny packaging, lately?
