Sometimes I forget I can go buy one of these delicacies at the store and people will think they're for my imaginary children.

I rented a bunch of cute animals for my upcoming birthday (small pigs, goats, rabbits, etc.)

I'm like 99% certain the people think it's for a children's birthday party...

...but it isn't, I'm in my 40s and it's going to be awesome.

Happy early birthday! I hope it's a blast.

there was a recall a while back for those. one store here just closed out an entire freezer section of stock that was older (not affected) by it.. i guess no one was buying it at the time because of the news reports.

50c a bag. i filled my (too small of a) freezer. only half a bag left.

no shame. no regrets.

The cashier can't even notice your nervous sweat when you're making your illegitimate purchase if it's a robot!
