I give up. What’s the T-shirt?

as long it’s not a pizza – let him have it

How about some stale circus peanut candy too Dan? Or sen-sens, if you like black licorice, you’ll love those.

Mmmm necco wafers. Powdered little hard discs of flavorless sugar that turn into lethal sharp splinters if you accidentally drop the pack.

Dan’s taste in candy is great. He can eat that while you get all the good stuff. ☺️

Our cat Snicker loves plastic bags and curly ribbon. Once he ate an audio tape and had to have surgery to remove it. He’s nearly 15 now and quite healthy. But we have to be very careful not to leave cupboards open and wrappings go in a bin with a lid.

Ric likes anything Dan likes. I loved black licorice when it was real licorice. Not a fan of Necco Wafers. My dad smoked cigars when I was little and he always had Sen-Sens ~ I loved those.

Licorice good, Necco Wafers bad.

I once had a female tuxedo cat who used to love to chew on plastic bags. I have no idea why because it always made her sick when she did.

Had to leave her name out of my post above because it’s apparently one of GC’s forbidden words. To retype it in a way that might get through, her name was M-u-f-f.

Black licorice, yech. Our cat Sherman likes to lick plastic., water bottles, plastic plants, bags. Must be lacking something in his diet.

This reminded me of the Necco Wafer song from Paul and Storm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbUoEhSu3yE

Daydreaming here about searching forgotten candy aisles for the most elusive treasure…

…the ALL black licorice roll of Necco Waifers (accepting the all-chocolate roll as a reasonable substitute).
