On Friday, my mouth was aching for some chocolaty goodness in the form of cheap drugstore treats such as Hershey Kisses or M&M’s. I moseyed on down to the local Walgreen’s, grabbed a bag of Kisses and then saw this:
New Moon-themed chocolate. I impulsively grabbed a bag just because it was Twilight-themed. Forget the fact that it was some lowly candy company that I never heard of – I just wanted to fulfill my duty as a fair-weathered Twi-fan and to further fuel my growing obsession for the upcoming movie.
There were three chocolate-filled varieties to coincide with the three main characters: Jacob was peanut butter, Edward was caramel and Bella was cream. The cream was disgusting and the peanut butter tasted like some sort of synthetic, grainy alternative for people with no tastebuds. The caramel was decent, but made me feel like I licked corn syrup off the side of a Muni bus.
My victimization of movie brand merchandising is about to go two-fold because of this:
Actually, this jump drive isn’t that fanatical. It has the soundtrack of the movie on it and the fact that it’s stamped with the Cullen family seal – well that is just an added bonus! AND it’s practical and useful outside of the fact that it is a product from the crazy, tween squealing-inducing franchise. It can be pre-ordered and it’s just totally awesome.
Wow. I would be a big ol’ Twilight douche (or “Twouche,” if you will) if I bought this. I am such a merchandising ho.
