The only time run-on sentences seem good
12 years ago
EDIT: Apparently, it was a combination of a torte http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torte and (a) tartufo! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartufo
I recently purchased a Torte, which is basically a fancy cake. I admired the fact that the company was, apparently, called 'Elite Sweets'.. but I think it would have been better as "The Sweet Elite", so there wouldn't be the plural/non-plural miss-match in the rhyme.
Anyway, it was one of their "Tortetufo" line, the Chocolate & Banana one. It was excellent, an awesome dessert. But the real amazing thing, the reason I'm making a journal (instead of just telling a select friend or two in private, as I thought I might), was the product description on the label.
It read as follows:
"Rich chocolate mousse with a banana mousse center atop a moist chocolate layer covered with real chocolate ganache topped with banana buttercream rosettes and a chocolate fan. Chocolate shavings finish the bottom edge."
It's run-on and so excessively detailed and entirely devoid of commas and kinda repetitive with the word chocolate (as it kinda has to be), which just makes it sound more and more and more decadent, rather than the poor grammar making me dislike it. The sentence is kind of a hilarious roller coaster, is my point.

While you're here, do you have any crazy indulgent food items/stories to tell?
Or maybe I should tell people what a Buzz Cookie is.
Or the time I made a dessert sandwich.
Or the time I made jello zombie brains with tumours growing on it and worms eating through it.
Or that fake beer that was actually also a dessert.. >_>

Comparisons aside, I hope you enjoy the cake as much as you did the label!
And yeah, that's a nicer way to imagine it, rather than thinking it was some hurried and harried copy writer who had to come up with all the Sweet Elite descriptions in one afternoon.
Evaluating food.. a bit like this? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9733314/
Although, for the monocle, we might have to go to this picture: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9493257/ or this one: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9044742/
Also I missed and replied in the wrong place ;)
Ah, I'm glad I know where that deleted comment came from now, thank you.
I might have a crazy food story... an experimental combination I tried years ago. Peanut butter... and steamed broccoli D:
It actually tasted somewhat decent, oddly enough, but that was only when I used Reese's brand PB. Didn't taste very good with other brands.
Needless to say my weirdness has extended to good sometimes XD
And you tried it with _multiple brands_?? D:
Also, I looked and looked online for a picture of this dessert to link you to, but there's nothing! :I Seeing the picture helps one to make sense of that description.
Actually, here's the best I could do with my laptop's built in web-cam snapshot feature.. as well as me trying to hold the damn thing steady. You can make out the cross-section of the cake (which is a combination of a torte and a tartufo, I now realize) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u.....t_20130418.jpg
Apparently Reese's can make anything taste better lol.
Okay that looks reeeeeeally good. I'd definitely wanna try that sometime~
Bow chicka bow wow..!
or: Dough chicka co-coa!
It's like how McDonald's burgers are so different/beautiful in the photos and terribad as they come to us, they are literally arranged and photographed at studios, with things like ketchup and mustard carefully placed so they are shown! :P
Still, it only really needed commas! And as for the legal requirement for saying what's in it, that's what the nutrition label is for, right?
The nutrition label tell us what elements/vitamins/minerals/fat and their quantity, but do not tell what kind of food it's in the product.
For dessert I had their Donut Plains Lollipop, which was described as follows:
A cheesecake lollipop, covered in doughnut batter, deep fried, and then covered in a topping of your choice. I went with cinnamon and sugar and never looked back.
Next time I will be trying their Vanilla Dome Brulee.
Sounds good, anyway. :>
I think it's more that I have an obsession with Confection. >:}
And perhaps the excessive run-on sentence is the point? If you read it in a slow, sexy, and decadent voice (like I did to myself... out loud... quietly.) it really gets the imagination as well as the desire to eat such a cake a-going. |Q__
So it may be a purposeful advertising style. Or it may just be a printing error, hehe
Also, have a needlessly saccharin reply: Not as delicious as yoooou! A_A
(Well, I suppose they did mention texture with “moist”, didn’t they? x3)
