Yes, I made this for tonight’s Fourth of July party. No, I did not come up with it myself. I will admit here, in front of the entire internet that I made this from a facebook recipe. No, not even from Pinterest, just a post on facebook that made me think, “Hey, I should make this and it won’t be tacky at all, it will be sort of kitsch.”
Now if it involved any kind of Jello, that would be tacky, but this… ok, maybe a little.
The Gary eyeroll was a dead giveaway.
Happy 4th!
Friends served these at a dinner party tonight. They were a big hit.
But the question immediately came up, “If these are nonpariels, what are… pariels?”
Sorry, that’s all I got tonight kids.

Every once in awhile I come across a product that screams from the shelf with a sense of irony like this one. It would appear that Happy Hippo is a hippo shaped treat that looks something like a chocolate filled Twinkie with nuts and chocolate on the outside. Kind of looks like he his foaming at the mouth, no?
What should their tagline be? Eat happy hippos and you will soon look like one?
Seriously, who really wants to bite the head off of one of these things? You could certainly not eat one in public without being self conscious. Mmmmm, gonna eat me some Happy Hippos and watch my hip(pos) grow.
Scary thing is, I bet they fly off the shelves. Looks like they even have a little Lego promo going on at the bottom left corner of the box.
What next?
