Yes! Score one for hygiene!)" If you're worried about a little bacteria in your holiday custard toddy... makes me wonder what depths of paranoia you reach in the bathroom or the bedroom. Oh nuts. Now I've got a mental image of TDG's night stand, littered with Lysol cans. Nothing says "romance" like germ warfare.

I mean, if the cartons said "Raw Custard", I might not have as much a hankerin' to buy the stuff. Then again, I do like raw cookie dough, though I try to bake more of that than eat it...(except for the Dairy Queen blizzards).

OOOOHHHhhhhhhhh...such flawless choreography, this "Custard Ballet".<< You lost me at "oozes."

Webster's defines it as the following: "ooze - an oozing; GENTLE FLOW / to FLOW OR LEAKE OUT SLOWLY, as through very small holes" And there is also "oozy - giving forth moisture" Trust me 2oony, "It's a Wonderful Drink'!"

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy LOL! But think of it in holiday beverage terms! Now *you're* not helping, I don't wanna think of Sweaty2oonyPits when I drink my custard! And I just bought 2 big ol' cartons, grrrrr...
Originally Posted By Kylesmom TDG, your prose is so poetic, I'd love to experience a live reading one day so I can hear it oozing forth in dulcet tones.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>But think of it in holiday beverage terms!<< Well, it needs a snappy new name if you expect this to sell. Something like Warm Winter Wonderland Toddy or something.
