These Wrecks Have Got Your Number

So there's this hilarious wrecky outbreak happening across our nation's bakeries, but it requires a little explanation before you can truly appreciate how funny it is.

Here's the deal:

See that? That's an edible image sheet. These sheets are supposed to work like individual stickers: you cut them up and only use the numbers & phrases you need.

 

Instead, bakers just keep plastering the entire sheet on a cake.

At first I figured it HAD to be intentional. Maybe they give you an edible marker with the cake, so you circle the right numbers?

 

Then I saw this:

You've gotta wonder: what does the baker THINK is happening here?

 

Or how about this one:

That's right; the baker cut up the sheet so it would all (kind of) fit.

Love the random "th" sticking out of the bottom.

 

I think most people are too confused to understand what's wrong with these cakes, but enough of you are still sending them in. So, I've just been collecting them:

Biding my time...

Waiting for the right moment to finally ask:

Seriously, bakers?

SERIOUSLY??

 

Thanks to Heather W., Angela F., Heather C., Ashley M., Emily F., Melissa L., & Heather D. for the big pile of sheet... cakes.

Today I learned they sell birthday candles you attach to your drinks. Your boozy drinks.

 Wish Clips Birthday Candles

Now, I'm not sure who thought combining an open flame with alcohol was a good idea, but going by all the rave reviews on these things, that person is apparently a genius. So hey, if you're looking to add a festive-yet-dangerous touch to your next happy hour, BOOM. There it is.

HERMIT FLAIL!

How To Celebrate National Hermit Week

(by a prefessional hermit) 

Step 1) Cancel all your plans

I'm sure you can think of a good excuse.

Step 2) Stock up on essential food items

Just kidding.

 

Step 4) Raid the toy box and assemble a make-shift homage to your favorite blog:

(What, Hannah, no mohawk?)

 

Step 5) Stand at the window and wait for the mail to arrive:

Then hide when the postman rings the bell.

 

Step 6) Spend the rest of the afternoon trying to re-create that thing you saw on Pinterest:

...then give up and go watch Netflix.

 

Step 7) Realize you should have just started with Netflix to begin with:

Then Netflix for the rest of the week.

BECAUSE NETFLIX.

FOREVERRRR.

 

Thanks to Stephanie, Netflix, Bryan J., Maddison C., Netflix, Jill, Carly P., Anony M., Netflix, Hannah H., Carissa I., Netflix, Alleissedai, & Kim P. And also Netflix.
