I am not a number, I am a Free Ice Cream!
I kinda like Chocolate; and I stand in my defence to use the word. (In ice cream, it’s especially good with vanilla - or peanut butter - mixed-in.)
I suppose Dixie cups are next ...

And at this rate succeeding.
All that will be left is a bland, dull, pablum like, mediocre existence where nothing riles up anything.
Maybe the goal is to make us like Camazotz.
OMG!

Little Debbie is probably safe....they’re only going after people of color!
