My dear guests, we bid you welcome to the Club BoxBoy! This page represents our extremely feeble attempt to stimulate your visual senses and empty your pockets of plethorae of coin. Every month or so, Club BoxBoy will present for your approval and amusement a different theme of fabulous BoxBoy product. Like a box of extremely inexpensive pastel cream-filled chocolates, you never know what you will get until you open wide and say "aaahhh." So enjoy ... and remember that this site is NOT intended to be a cyber-museum. We do want your hard-earned money so we can continue to purchase compact discs, DVDs and eat! And thus, we commence... |
| Hostess with the Mostess |
Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Hostess cupcakes. Chocolate decadence with cream filling. And the funny little squiggle of white icing on top of black icing. How wholesome can one get? These used to be fortified with Vitamin C, we think. These cupcakes are what we would call a fancy recipe. |
| How Now, Black Kow |
OMG (the only text message-speak we know), whoever came up with this killer combo shoulda won a Noble Prize for kitschen arts. We could eat a 10-pack of these in one sitting (along with one of those Morton's frozen coconut pies) and still crave some Reese's Pieces. ET phone home -- ya ain't getting a piece of me Reese. |
| Butter, Can You Spare a Nut? |
| Mmm Mmm Good |
Musta been a regional favorite, coz we ain't ever heard of it. We did drink "Chocolate Soldier" once or twice as a tadpole. A bottled concoction that tasted like chocolate syrup mixed with water, and non-carbonated. Yuck. Not very tasty. We think CS has long been laid to rest and that taps was played at the end. |
We used to be known as "King Ding Dong" way back in the day. We still love a good wholesome ding dong with nice fresh creamy filling that oozes amply when we bite into it. There was better protection in yesteryear -- aluminum foil as opposed to cheap paper/plastic today. Eat safely! |
| It's So Tasty Too |
| Where's Miss Frances? |
When we were small we were forced to drink whole white milk at mealtime until we were 12 years of age. Oh happy day that be! Chocolate milk didn't exist except for Nestle's Quick and Hershey's Syrup. It was a banner day when, in high school, chocolate milk was available in single servings to accompany the mystery meat burger and burnt French fries. And the cafeteria women were always crabby. |
Wholesome, hardy and comfortable. So what's this entry doing here anyway? Try sodium chloride and lots of it. Progresso and designer canned soups all blow. One must have Campbell's, espcially those with the easy pull-tab tops. Try adding a lot of Tabasco Sauce to your cream of tomato with a dollup of sour cream. Saltines optional. |
| Tickling the Tootsies |
Good God allmighty, when these things were stale, they'd pull your teeth out. Better to use these little logs around and in the terlet to gross out a loved one. Or even better, do the "Baby Ruth bar in the swimming pool" trick -- the peanuts easily pass for corns for added realism. Moses couldn't even part the waters this fast. |
| Toad Ya So |
Giggin' fer frogs ... now that's wholesome entertainment! Our daddy used to take us to a little pond near the homestead (said pond now nearly covered by Super Wal-Mart and strip malls) to spear poor froggies with trident. Our mama would fry pulled amphibian legs and expect us chillens to eat em up. No way Hose A. Years later, we did eat fried frog legs at an Atlanta eatery and they were tasty -- in fact, they taste like chicken! |
| Your Junk Is My Comfort |
As we all know, our BoxBoy loves to gripe. Per this installment of CB, we focus our rants on the haughty nerds posing as nutritionist gurus who insist that we all eat according to their hare-brained (rabbit food) standards. And we say, "Here's a quarter ... call someone who cares." Have you ever seen these people interviewed on the tele? They look like pale and pasty vampire prunes who even hungry vampires shun for hardier fare. These losers' windbag oratories of doom and gloom on the benefits of healthful eating are about as obnoxious as the "let's go green/save the earth" fanatics who pop up in all the most unwanted places. And oui, we are sick of it all! We once asked a soccer mom if there was ever any uproar amongst parents when Cokes, Little Debbies and bagged pork rinds were served at post-game fellowships among players, as opposed to carrot/celery sticks and mineral water. Rolling her eyes, she died laughing that anything "natural and healthful" would even be brought to such a gathering -- that such offerings would be left to the local fauna for fodder. Logic tells us that soccer kids have just burned off umpteen calories, so they are entitled to a little sugar as positive reinforcement. When we were little, our after school home snack was a colored aluminum glassful (glass cozy included) of iced Pepsi and a Ding Dong. Alas the days of yore, we knew thee well. That stated, we offer a glimpse of some real good eatin' in the hopes that we will all indulge ourselves a little more often. After all, Sally Field says in the TV commercial that we only have this one body and this one life (save Shirley MacLaine), so why not live a little. We're all gonna go to the Big Salad bar in the sky one day anyways. Cheerio!!! |
