Wonka’s Egg Hunt: Zero Gravity Easter Kit!

I'm not gigantically into Easter, but hey, this Wonka "Egg Hunt: Zero Gravity" kit seemed like a fine waste of four bucks. Including an assortment of Wonka-branded candy (mostly junk, but there were a few mini-boxes of Nerds), the real reason to buy it are the set of plastic eggs that don't just enable you to create your own eggstravagant egg hunt, but do it in ways that thwart the very nature of nature. Gimmicked eggs, see. There's Super Suction Eggs, each with cute little spring-loaded suction cups attached to the sides. There's Stick Anywhere Eggs, which take egg-hiding to the extreme by way of double-sided gooey tape. There's Hanging String Eggs, finally marrying Easter and Christmas with plastic eggs that'd double perfectly as tree ornaments. There's also Glow-In-The-Dark Eggs, which don't defy gravity, but nobody will complain, because they GLOW IN THE DARK. In a world where far too many good Catholics depend on the secret caves lurking behind couch pillows to hide eggs on Easter morning, the folks at Wonka aim to bring out our creativity and spite with eggs so unbelievably hideable, you'll have no trouble making the children cry.

Heh, sorry I haven’t checked here in what seems like ages.

Trajeal, I was just jokin’ when I said 9 bucks. :D I remember finding a six pack of little wooden eggs once and I remember them being expensive enough that I didn’t buy them. They had holes drilled in them too, and I didn’t want that. :( I wish Target had a really awesome craft section, because even though Wal Mart may have egg-xactly the ones I want, I refuse to step foot in that place. Yes, I’m an anti-WalMarter.

Tougi – My mom bought me sunflower seeds once that had gelatin in them! I couldn’t believe it! Why in the hell would they need gelatin in THOSE?! I was so pissed. Glad I saw it before I ate them.

KingKlash, I personally do not eat anything that has gelatin in it. If it originally came from an animal, it won’t be crossing my lips. They do make a seaweed version of gelatin, but apparently it’s kind of hard to find.

I don’t get why they can’t just put double-sided sticky tape on the glow in the dark eggs. Unless that would be so awesome that everyone would turn into Tang™. Sorry about that, but I read the Uncyclopedia entry for Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Wow, Manimal, I’m totally suprised to be included in this. You must think my site’s popular or something. o.O But I just ripped off Matt, so I don’t have much of a say in the matter. 4+ years ago I was mainly doing fansites. As I’ve said before though, if Matt had any problem with it he’d of written me a 5,000 word email about it by now. Instead he’s just mildly friendly to me.

Actually, I like Easter. It’s the last excuse to buy big bags of candy until October, and it’s usually around my birthday in mid-April. I love decorating eggs with Mom and my siblings; they get so into it, making fancy swirls and designs with crayon and rubber bands.

well boys and girls after being directed her by my good friend Scott (I am the colleague he mentioned) I am disgusted, Lion-o would ruin He-man in a horrendous ultra-violent fashion period. He was obviously much, much tougher, allow me to just run over the facts to help the misguided among you see the light. Lets just look at the facts shall we

Lion-0, son of Claudus, hereditary Lord of the ThunderCats has to disposal in the way of powers and weapons, The sword of omens, which starts as a dagger and grows to a full blown kickass sword with which he can call for the other thudercats in times of need (team player) with the cry of "Thunder, thunder, thunder, THUNDERCATS! HO!" . The cry makes the sword project the Eye of Thundera into the sky which not only is a old school positioning device for the other Thundercats, allowing them to know where there ass-stomping skills are required it also gives them a temporary burst of strength and can break them from any form of mind control they maybe be under. He also has "sight beyond sight" allowing him to see anyone one, anywhere and even pierce the veil of dimensional boundaries, now honestly tell me you couldn’t find a use for that.
That alone far out weighs He-mans powers, being as all he posses is super strength, but there is more, The sword of omens can also shoot bad-guy-devastating energy blasts that would leave He-man a complete right off. To add even more credibility to Lion-o, even though he was the hereditary Lord of the ThunderCats he still proved himself by defeating the nobles in "trials" – The Trials of Strength (Panthro), Speed (Cheetara), Cunning (WilyKit & Kat), Mind Power (Tygra) and the fifth and final trial, the Trial of Evil, Lion-O confronted and defeat Mumm-Ra without the use of any weapons, thats right no tools, just a straightener. Now could He-man take skeletor unarmed, I think not, one top of all that, yes there is more, Lion-o can will is sword, that also acts as a definitive guide on what’s right and wrong and keeps him on the path of righteousness, to his hand in true Jedi style, he has Jaga as a guide and Jaga is some sort of super spirit pimp lord that appears at the right time to guide lion-o in the ancient ways shit-ruining-ass-stomppery, He-man has some old witch, enough said.
Now with all Lion-o awesomeness in mind (and I barely even mention the down right greatness of the enchanted claw shield) lets look at He-mans powers, err super strength and err that’s it, nothing. He is strong and has a sword that can block laser beams and dragon fire, wow, I am not impressed.
So lion-o super agile lord, loaded to the back teeth with ass kicking skills aplenty and team mates that eat evil for breakfast and He-man is just a dirty steroid muncher that likes a scrap.

I hope that clears things up for you.

(apologies for lenght)

Kingklash:
I’ve heard this. I don’t understand it. I mean, a burger really doesn’t look like a cow, but it still is. Gelatin doesn’t resemble anything, but that doesn’t change the fact. My Jewish grandpa has told me that his grandpa was a religious kosher butcher who said people shouldn’t eat meat if possible, but he justified being a butcher by praying for the animals before slaughtering them. My point is that the whole kosher thing makes no sense to me and I’m not really affected by the beliefs of rabbis.

I can see that. Kiowas, traditionally, don’t wear anything that used to be part of a bear. Images of a bear, or symbols are ok. But in our oral tradtion, know that there was a time when the entire tribe was reduced by half when 50% of the population was turned into bears. (mostly Black, some Grizzly) When we say that bears are our brothers, we don’t mean in a co-opted by new-agers way, but in a literal sense.

I’m becoming Kiowas now.

"hide easter eggs where they’ve never gone before" For some reason I can’t help but think of an Easter Porno when I read that.
