Weird Presents Anyone?

Posted by michael on from the share-the-loot dept.

g8way writes "Now that Christmas is about, it's time for presents. A joyous occasion with much drinking, fruitcake, and butt-ugly sweaters. What's the weirdest gift you've gotten so far? Personally, I got toothpaste, tic-tacs, deodorant, and a McDonalds coupon book in the same package. What's your story of Christmas present mayhem?"

    My sister got my mom some stocking stuffers which included (and nobody's racist here) some dollar store toothpaste in some language (Vietnamese?), black soap which is specifically targeted towards African Americans and band-aids which are very dark brown and also targeted towards African Americans. The box also lists the other three hues they come in.

    Since I'm broke this year, I had to make presents count in the 'thinking of you' department. My girlfriend (1 year in the country, 1 week of us dating and 100% Mexican) doesn't know too much about american pop culture so I bought her The Cat In the Hat and wrote an inscription in Spanish in the inside cover because we were at a movie a few days ago and she didn't understand the premise of the movie now in theaters.

    (PS: Don't flame me :) )

    Shouldn't the poster's name and his wonderful history of past postings tell you something?

    Hint: the keyword in his name is "troll". You've been had, and that goes for the moderator who modded him up.

    Was it a hot cocoa sampler box by any chance?

    You dummy. Obviously you're one of those cretins who likes the movies better than the books. You probably can't even read.
