A Contest!

Have you ever had Dove Promises, the chocolate squares whose foil wrapper has an important message about the future, your love life, chocolate or some weird mash-up of all three? If you haven't, go buy some: they're hilarious and delicious! If you have, then I'll assume you'll agree with me that the messages are pretty stupid. I misread one today as "A simile is the perfect gift, personal and encouraging."

So here is the contest: Suggestions For Future Dove Promise Wrappers.

How does it work? You suggest new slogans/promises/whimsical messages for these candy wrappers. If they're funny, praise will be heaped upon you! If they're not, ridicule is yours to endure!

What do you win? Nothing. This is a blog, guys, not Chinook Winds.

Here are some examples from actual candy foils:

• Love is always the perfect gift.
• Joy is contagious.
• Your presence is often the best present.
• Friendship is a gift in itself.
• A smile is the perfect gift, personal and encouraging.

Here is an example entry from Pete:

• Here's a promise: these will make you fat.

So, you know, Have At It!
