Mystery Objects
Yesterday one of my thousands of hundreds of dozens of several readers drew my attention to the fact that the following frightening vision appeared on my blog, courtesy of Google adverts.
These apparently edible objects are enough to give anyone nightmares, even without eating them. Does anyone know what on Earth they are? Are they indigenous to Newcastle? That wouldn’t surprise me..

They’re macaroons, you can get them at Paul – http://www.paul-uk.com/content/food-patisserie.php# the ad has just ramped up the colour I think!

Macaroons? Aren’t they Sunderland supporters?
I certainly don’t want to buy any!

“Up to -70% !!!”
Whatever they are, I’m sold.

Ha! I’ve seen those same ads in the US, but I have no idea where to get them. It’s amazing how much attention those ads are getting. 🙂

Perhaps they’re evil macaroon-based life forms from outer space intent on destroying the Earth?

I’ve seen these ads at top right-ish of my screen when watching YouTube. Weren’t they ice cream ads designed to look like coloured hamburgers? As for Newcastle: don’t flatter yourself (despite the fightback vs Arsenal) – many towns worldwide have that name.
‘Unidentified’ might be right as they certainly look like classical UFOs.

If I mentioned the Man Utd result would you want to throw me to the Wolves?

Not really, the other Old Trafford means far more to me. Incidentally I’m going to Wolverhampton next weekend to see a T Rex tribute band…

Do they glow in the dark?

The colours are all due to those healthy E-numbers…
