The Red Brick Times

Right! Some people! Doesn't anyone get offended anymore? What's an agitator gotta do to stir up some brough-ha-ha?

Well, if the highbrow lowdown don't fetch it, how about food?

We are now set up with shipping paraphernalia.
I need mailing addresses to send cookies. United States Postal Service Priority Mail is reasonable and convenient. One dozen mixed varieties will arrive in a plain brown 10x6x6 200-lb test cardboard box. Within will be 9 square feet of (made from recycled plastic) bubble wrap. In the bubble nest will be two 4x4x4 folded gold cardboard gift boxes. In the boxes will be crinkle cut paper (biodegradeable and recycleable) in a nice French Vanilla hue. The crinkle will support a food-grade resealable and reuseable 9x12 poly bag containing about 6 cookies of various flavors and hues. Each gift box will contain only one flavor to avoid cross-cultural blending.

Your task, should you decide to accept it, is to examine each layer of the packaging onion carefully, looking for dings, punctures, contaminations, water soaking, burst edges, tampering, and other variations that give evidence of shipper perfidity.

Gently shake the box as received to see if "Contents have settled in shipment". Let us know if the inner boxes are moving a lot relative to the outer box. Some small shifting doesn't seem to matter as long as the bubble is absorbing force.

The test, of course, is in the tasting. See if the cookies look good when you first open the gold box. Remove the bagged cookies and look for broken edges, fallen crumbs, cracked cookies, and other disappointments and spoilers. If they look, good, and opening the bag smells good, and breaking a cookie looks like fresh, then taste and tell us how the whole undressing experience went.
