Trump Shark was a big thing back in the 80s.

I almost bought one myself.

But I didn't have a place to put it and the food bills would have been enormous.

AI sez...

Deer may not see it as a warning:

Because deer don't see orange in the same way, they are less likely to associate it with danger.

There's probably more where that one came from..

I fear it maybe caused by Global Warming (Climate Change on cold days)!

Circus peanuts. My favorite marshmallow candy. Just bought some from Amazon. I keep them on hand to have when I start feeling hypoglycemic.

Rocky Road bars were the best marshmallow candy, but they quit making them not too long ago. I still like Peeps, too, except for the weird flavors. Peeps are better when you toast them on the gas stove.

I remember Rocky Road candy bars. A company named Hollywood made Milkshake candy bars. It had a fluffy malted center, and of course they stopped making them. I like milk chocolate, and never cared for chocolate with nuts or chocolate and peanut butter. I like peanut butter and nuts, but not with chocolate. Nestle’s Crunch bar was another favorite. Haven’t had one in years. I also liked Nestle’s Milk Chocolate bars, but they don’t sell them in normal bar size anymore. The only place you can find them is in a bag of different kind of miniature bars. No sense in buying a bag, picking out the plain chocolate, and tossing the rest that I don’t want. When I was a kid, candy bars like Rocky Road, Milkshake, 3 Musketeers, Mars Bars, etc. cost a nickel.

The orange would only be visible to a depth of about 33 feet because the colors that make up sunlight are filtered out in order of wavelength as it passes through water, longest first. So (ROYGBIV) red is absorbed the quickest and orange is second. Which is why experienced scuba divers usually favor shallower dives, because that’s where all the spectacular colors are. Go deep enough and everything is a shade of blue (before it turns altogether black).
