How many likes do you have? Mk. IV : Here We Go Again

:blconfused: Product placement/paid advertising via AI units? Oh my!

We usually get the boxes with a mix of KitKat, Coffee Crisp, Smarties, etc., since they’re guaranteed peanut-free. Although if I or my kids actually had a peanut allergy, I wouldn’t be letting them go out on Halloween - seems like a considerable risk.

Luckily, I’m not allergic to peanuts nor do I know of anyone in the neighborhood who does.

I will be passing out a variety of different candies. Like we always do.

Just dawned on me that “Kitkat” would have a double-meaning for an AI:

I don’t think peanut butter has been invoked as an OS code name? (Although CUPS is a printer protocol).

Android KitKat!

I remember getting excited when my Nexus 7 got that update!

And I remember passing out KitKat bars on Halloween the year it was released!

It’s one of my favorite versions of Android. Along with Jelly Bean, Nougat, Oreo and Pie.

I’m not sad to have it in the house… but I am trying tto lose some weight, putting in a bit on the rowing machine every day.

It’s not helping.

They sat for a week with me doing nothing, and then I cracked the bag drunk last weekend. Feelbad, and I’ve stopped in on it once or twice since then. Boo.

Anyway, how goes it?

I’m just working on a little something for my comic that I’m going to upload tomorrow.

Er, later today.

Apologies for the quality.

It was “laffy taffy” which weirdly changes the whole list. But I was typing from my phone.

Autocorrect strikes again.

Speaking of that, Earlier today I was talking to my dad about how the Snapdragon processor is better than Exynos. And my phone decided to autocorrect it as “sexy nose”. :stuck_out_tongue:

For a moment there I had optimistic dreams about the subtle depths of American sweet labelling.

Is that like salt water taffy?

Sorta, yeah.

It’s a sweeter plasticy version, less creamy and more… ah, modern Wonka candy like.

Which means they’re bright, probably sour, and will turn your tongue a neon color.

I remember banana being pretty nasty.

I like the taffy from the Old Mill candy kitchen in Pigeon Forge, TN.

It’s so good.

They also have horrible jokes on every wrapper.

Like half the ones in my pack appear to have “What do a bad joke and a dull pencil have in common?”

They both don’t have a point.

I remember popsicle sticks having bad jokes written on them as well.
