Recently, the husband and I went on a date night in Weston, MO. If you’ve never been to Weston, it’s this cute little Hallmark-esque town on the outskirts of Kansas City. In fact, it’s so quaint that they even filmed an actual Hallmark movie there.
But I digress. The point of that story is that our date night was organized by the Weston Chamber of Commerce (we took a tour of 3 of the local Bed and Breakfasts) and at the end of the tour, we received a gift bag filled with goodies from local establishments.
To be clear (and this is important later), this gift bag included several cookies wrapped in cellophane packages that were tied with a ribbon and had the bakery’s business card inside.
Last night, I decided to try one of the cookies from the gift bag assortment.
This looks like a cookie, right? It’s shaped like a cookie. It’s packaged like all the other cookies.
This smells like a cookie – sort of sweet and peppermint-y.
So, I unwrap this cookie and bite down into what I assume will be a delicious white-chocolate-coated mint cookie.
IT WAS NOT A COOKIE.
You all, it was a CANDLE. I mean, yeah, it felt a little waxy when I picked it up but a chocolate coating can feel that way sometimes, right? Right?!
I’m not sure if this is more or less embarrassing than that time I attempted to eat a pillow mint that was – Spoiler Alert – not actually a mint.
