The picture on the bottle depicts Cthulhu's tentacles offering a heart-shaped box to... well, whoever Cthulhu's in love with. Accordingly, the notes are described as "an amorphous mix of oppressive, piceous ritual incense, macerated kelp, sea salt, sticky dark ocean plants, and… mixed chocolates."

That's pretty accurate. It starts out heavy on sticky aquatic goo and chocolates, and ends up more like incense and cocoa, but still with a good dose of eldritch slime. Yum.

ReplyDeleteI'm 'whelmed' by BPAL's massive line and haven't investigated it seriously because it's...overwhelming. Perhaps this is a starting point.
Absolutely hilarious! - and by a spooky coincidence, I have had occasion in the past to hunt down a pattern for a knitted Cthulhu, though I never came across this cuddly fellow!
ReplyDeletehmmm seaweed in chocolate, I don't know about that. But I did love his Old Spice commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc90UhV6hJA
ReplyDeleteHey, Josephine! I kept hearing about them, but never got around to trying them. After trying the wonderful strangeness of this one, I'll be sampling more.
ReplyDeleteYo, flittersniffer! Ooh! Did you knit him?
Hey, kj! Thanks for the link - I never saw the commercial. It's great. :)
