GE 🌞🌛
As a potter I spend a lot of time listening to podcasts, and a new interest of mine is 90s culture (which I missed on account of not being born). I discovered (perhaps unfortunately) a character called Mr Blobby, who I can only discribe as looking like he was cursed by a wizard on crack.
His insane design and character (embodies the spirit of a drunk Scottish man) is misunderstood by the Americans, who look at him and simply think there is something very wrong with the British, but really it is just that the America-a-gogo-land people lack research abilities (and whimsy), and therefore don't understand what a hilarious phenomenon blobby was. *¹
As the nation's beloved ridiculous crap thing, Mr blobby would release a song which took the spot as Christmas no.1 single, a spot in a theme park, and have so much merch that there was on average at least 1 piece of blobby paraphernalia in every household.
I showed Mr blobby to my papa, who was unfamiliar with it (on account of being on the other side of the world during "blobby-mania"), and I am banned from ever showing blobby to Papa ever again.
Customer came with accai bowls for the team🫐🍒
It was the first time for me to have accai, prettyyyy pretty good 👌 I felt like it was mostly chocolate, though that might have just been this bowl in particular.

*¹for you poor Americans, Mr blobby was created as a prank for a fake children's show where the gag was that celebrities and experts who were on the show to showcase their skills would have to interact with Mr blobby, not realising that is was a big joke.
