A Course of a Different Colour

Here are three more things to add to the list of things that suck big time.

Wrong Coloured Foods
You know what I'm talking about. Remember when they sold that nasty looking green ketchup. They even had purple ketchup for a while. It tasted fine, but it screwed with your senses. You're trying to enjoy your fries and it looks like you're dabbing them in dollops of shiny acrylic paint. Clear coloured Coke was way back, but it still bothers me to this day. All these food inventions just scream "chemicals" and "dyes", which I'm going to guess is bad. I recall seeing Doritos that would turn blue when they mixed with your saliva. That's perfect for people who enjoy digging food out of their mouth to look at it.

The Rocket Fishing Rod
If you've never seen this, take a look at it here. Apparently the only way to make fishing -Nay! - any activity cool to a child is to shoot it out of a gun. This plastic shotgun shaped toy is actually a working fishing rod that blasts your hook and line out into the water. You thought kids are overweight now? What does the future hold in store for kids too lazy to perform the simple actions of a sport that even the morbidly obese can excel at?

Ladybugs
These insects will be put on the list until they can prove themselves worthy. In the last couple of weeks these bugs have been popping up in my room and I can't locate the source. I don't know if you've seen an infestation of ladybugs before, but it's adorable and aggravating. How can you even locate the source of these things? Have you ever seen a ladybug hive, or a ladybug nest? Of course not, because they're disguised as cute things like jewelry boxes, rag dolls, and cupcakes. So if you ever come home and find a puppy wearing a tiara, you'd better act quick because it's probably housing a ladybug colony of biblical proportions.
