When I was little, my favourite chocolate option of all time was the Milky Way Magic Stars. Partly because the shape and size of the individual chocolate stars was the perfect shape and size for a satisfying bite-sized chocolate experience, but also because they were STARS with FACES. Not only that, but they were stars with different personalities, expressed by different faces. There was happy star, baby star, clever star (who wore glasses), and others.
Of course, my favourite was POP STAR.
I would hunt for this dazzlingly cool star as I chomped through every packet. This star was my role model, my inspiration. Everything I wanted to be was represented by this star's star-shaped glasses (and by the way, wouldn't that be like if I wore human-shaped glasses?).
I liked all the stars though. They were quite cutely characterised, and it made the act of plucking each one from the packet that bit more exciting. Quite honestly, the excitement has never worn off, so I'm about to eat a massive bag of them in sheer delight and wonder. It's these things that make life truly worth living, isn't it?
They have wiped out a friendly alien species :-( just seen in the shops that the little milky star faces are no more :-(
ReplyDeleteYou're wrong! The packets have lost their face, but the stars visage lives on. We can continue to love vicariously through their distinct personalities. They all remain; the baby, the cool guy, anxious dude, and others.
Deletei've found myself sat delirious in the library after more hours studying than should be allowed, eating a packet of magic stars and scouring the web to find someone with the same appreciation as i have for the little beauties that are magic stars, and i have have landed here. my greatest appreciation goes out to you for this post, i thoroughly enjoyed the read and i agree with every word you wrote more than i am able to express. i will problably now spend the next few hours, into the early hours of the morning, reading far too many of your oh-so intriguing entries into this blog. perhaps i will ponder the idea of starting my own, before ultimately deciding that i have neither the energy, nor the time, though i know i will continually regret that decision throughout a large portion of my life. all my best to you and please never stop writing; entertaining the minds such as mine who have a profound ability to become heavily invested in entirely the wrong things, at entirely the wrong time (of course this blog is hugely important and a wonderful thing to become invested in, though perhaps not in the middle of exam season, as is the current state of my world)
