I pass the billboard for this General Store every time I travel to Oklahoma from our new home. This time, I decided to post a photo of the advertisement and ask if anyone else would have the same problem with buying fudge from this place.
Anyone here who will admit they have tried this fudge? I guess you could order some and have them pack it and send it.
A great company .
This topic in general reminds me of a couple of questions I ponder from time to time.
1. Does the aroma or sound of a fart turn butt pirates on or off?
2. If you worked at Hershey’s and called in sick claiming you had the Hershey Squirts, would you get fired?
3. How much fudge can a fudgepacker pack when a fudgepacker packs fudge?
To answer the question though, no. We have a perfectly fine old school confectioner right here in town.
I have lived in Missouri for the last 11 years and have never heard of this place. However, I am pretty sure, make that positively sure, I don’t want the Uranus Fudge Factory to do any Fudge Packing on my behalf.
I have passed the billboard many times and I always assumed it was some weird truckdriver stop. I finally looked it up online and discovered it is a real candy store.
Now, who thought it was a good idea to make fudge in Uranus and sell it?
That’s funny.
You’ve got to admit that it’s a clever marketing notion.
It “grabs the eye” quite effectively, and there’s no doubt that thousands of customers online and traveling Route 66 who will stop and purchase if for no reason other than to offer friends and relatives presents of half-pound boxes of fudge from Uranus.
“I’ve got contacts beyond the Jovians, y’know, and you wouldn’t believe how they flash-freeze this stuff in liquid methane….”
It DOES grab the eye, but I wasn’t tempted to buy any.
Stucky’s resume says he was a packer at this place before his current job.
HSF says:
“That’s funny.”

Clever? Gross, gross, I say….answer = no.
Hello Maggie!! I hope you are working on your
pathology book…I want to see/read it. I worked
in the “pathology business” for some time, and
we never tire of insights into the inner workings
of the minds of men.
Suzanna… am still working on it in a way, but I am at the stage of “OH MY GOD who wants to read this crap?” And so it is shoved aside for a while. I’ve decided to help someone revise/edit a story for a while and see how that goes. I’ll pick the psychology of language mess back up and see if it makes sense to me in a few days. If it doesn’t, it may get trashed.
I think Fudge in Uranus has had its fifteen minutes of fame on TBP. Time to flush it away.
