Before we dive into dairy, how about a quick shill? International orders are now accepted for the Dino Drac Halloween prints! I’ve also updated the page with some nicer photos.

Thanks to everyone who ordered one so far! Sent out the first big batch this afternoon, and boy, did the people behind me at the post office sure wish for my death! I now know how to sigh in eight languages.

As longtime readers know, milk and I do not get along. I have no general aversion to dairy products. I just find milk disgusting. It’s totally inexplicable and has zero correlation to my other eating habits, but yeah, milk is gross.

The last time I drank it was in 2006, when we went to Disney World. And I only did that because the Polynesian’s insistence that I drink fourteen cocktails out of fourteen pineapples gave me the kind of heartburn that one could easily mistake for a heart attack. Even then, it was chocolate milk, and I only had one begrudging sip.

Despite this, I’m going to spend the next several paragraphs gushing about milk. If I treat it as a thing to look at and not as a thing to drink, smell or get on me, milk isn’t so bad. Especially when it’s all Halloweenified!

First up, Nestle Nesquik rules all with its new Halloween bottle. I’m normally bothered when food companies limit their spooky revamps to packaging alone, but here, the packaging is just SO GOOD.

Take a look at the Nesquik Bunny. He’s so unbelievably awesome as a mummy. It’s like he was born to become one. I bet Nestle’s artists ran through a dozen other monster concepts, before finally landing on the mummy and screaming “THAT’S IT THAT’S THE ONE” in glorious unison. No doubt, that’s what I bet.

Course, now that I think about it, they probably picked the mummy just because it rhymes with “bunny.” It sort of does, anyway. Still, he wouldn’t look half as good as any other monster. Thank God “bunny” doesn’t rhyme with “vampire.” We have enough Dracula rabbits.

The bottle is great in a pillar-to-post way. It’s swarming with webs, bats, spiders and sparkles. It also glows in the dark! Read More…

Hey, have you been keeping up with the Creepy Commercials Countdown? You probably should. Clarence Clemons is there. Now here’s Count Chocula:

I saw them in Target, and I flipped. They were on a rack right by the registers, but one of the store employees, who I guess had assumed the role of  “greeter,” stood right in front of them. I really didn’t want to be the weirdo who asks people to move so he can get at chocolate bars, so I scoped out Target’s entire Halloween section and every food aisle, hoping to find more. Read More…
