It sounds wonderful. And look at the cute tiki-drink-sipping turkey with the little napkin tied around his neck! I love it when advertising anthropomorphizes the food items being sold. It's very weird if you think about it, and yet it's such a common practice. I bet someone could write an entire book just about that topic. So who’s going to tell Mr. Turkey that he's a little mistaken about this Thanksgiving dinner invitation? [ Edited by: kenbo-jitsu 2013-08-02 11:06 ]
