Using star ratings to rate stars is like using emojis of an avacado to rate avocados. I rate this avacado three and a half avocados.
Flip it. I rate this star four avacados. I rate this avocado two stars.
It’s apples and oranges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drizzle\ufffc<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Couple of years ago avocado toast was a hot commodity. But this year it\u2019s going to be toast. Because minimalism.
A cartoon I don\u2019t like is cinnamon toast crunch kids. Because of the terrible squeaky little kid voices the mini cinnamon toast crunch squares speak in when they are about to be masticated. But the ASMR really turn some people on. Because something to do with frequencies. Yum.
It is a shame about the chocolate donut mascot. We are losing our cartoon mascot history.
I do not mean to imply that the founder of general post sugary cereals Warren G Friendly was not a complete amoral monster who does not deserve to be remembered. This is a children\u2019s sugar cereal. And we have to let some things slide for the sweet love of freedom to crunch by gum.
Dentists are taking candy from babies. The law is applied unevenly.
Chocolatiers are heroes no matter how many children disappear into their factories. As workers or what have you.
If we did not use children as workers how could we clear the tubes to drain the candy swamp? Did you ever think about that?
No, you don\u2019t think.
Keep it down the ASMR people are listening.
Be respectful.
It is only by pushing candy to the extreme that we can enrich the Candyman and sweet nectar will trickle down from on high nourishing those who toil. With sugar rushes. Sugar burns. Mbop.
Avocado toast candy. For the masses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
