bon bons

those free chocolates have been a steady part of my diet since I got them last week. The foil wrapped squares have little messages written inside. They range from the mundanely cheesy to the somewhat bizarre, with a few reasonable ones in between. They are all in the vein of marketing women power.
ps. Im not writing this because dove asked me to. I was just trying to figure out who they are marketing these things to and I figured it out: girls who like the quote: "smile like you mean it, dance like no one is watching, love like you've never been hurt... something something I dont remember". Oh and The Notebook is probably a favorite movie. NO judgment. well a little, but you can judge me for loving Biodome. Hell I even liked Son-in-Law.
ok so here are some of the highlights
The cheesy mundane:
Don't look at the pricetag
Jump on your bed
Meh, the fun is mostly lost when your bed is a mattress on the floor and there is a real chance of hitting your head on the slanted ceilings even without jumping
Buy yourself flowers This I do
the "sassy":
give out the wrong number
A push-up bra is not cheating
Outright telling women to wear push up bras was neatly avoided
entering the realm of bizarre:
Use a good moisturizer Is this what we've come to?
Change the subject
Remember your first
Is this creamy chocolate telling me to think of le devirginization?!
Reasonable:
Ride shotgun though this one seems about 20 years outdated. how about drive yourself?
start a travel fund Can do!
what if they started putting little zingers and witticisms instead.I would like that. they could call them Bon Bon Mots. Holy fuck I am clever.

    i got a jones soda bottle cap months ago that said "you and your partner will be happy in your life together". i kept it and gave it to Byron on valentines day.
    it was cheesy. but the kind of cheese that i like.

    i also thought of sarin when you were doing the "dance like no one is watching" quotes.

    oh headre thats so sweet. the ood too, I agree.
    oh man, Sarin always forces me to confront what a horse girl and girl who likes those quotes really is. She definitely wouldn't like most of these chocolate quotes.
