THE BLOBSICLE
New York City is presently under attack by possibly its greatest giant Snack foe since the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. This just in from the AP wires:
An attempt to erect the world's largest popsicle in a city square ended with a scene straight out of a disaster film — but much stickier.
The 25-foot-tall, 17 1/2-ton treat of frozen Snapple juice melted faster than expected Tuesday, flooding Union Square in downtown Manhattan with kiwi-strawberry-flavored fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground.
"What was unsettling was that the fluid just kept coming," Stuart Claxton of the Guinness Book of World Records told the Daily News. "It was quite a lot of fluid. On a hot day like this, you have to move fast."
Funny-- those words could have just as easily come from redcarpet bystanders at the recent Tom Cruise snafu or frightened, machete wielding African hotel workers privy to Brad and Angelina's recent late-night monkey-screaming.
