Mine comes with a therapist.

To the uneducated palette, this tastes like burnt tire.

This one captures bitterness, astringency, and resentfulness. The taste is so grown up.

Oh, mine’s massively grown up.

This is only available under the counter of a pet store with no address.

This sugar was used by the Aztecs as currency.

Some believe this one’s haunted.

Mine’s flammable.
