Ok sports in a few but first we need a flavor of the month (with an explanation, of course)

Moving on.... We need a flavor of the month for January, but first an explanation. (which I just mentioned. spooky isn it. or not) You see, holiday flavors went over so well, and since the holidays (who-ha days) didnt end until this weekend... I figured I'd wait to post this til the holidays, ho ho days, who ha days were over. But, they are still going strong through the weekend and I guess we could carry over the holiday flavors til next month. But, that's not how we always roll now is it. We need a little something different as we start a new year. Now sure a new flavor would be a great way to start a new year but as we look forward we always have fond memories of things past (well not all things past but at least a few hi-lites here and there so work with me on this one) Yes, we have had those moments where we may have indeed tried something new and it became our new favorite. We may have tasted something so awesome that it forever be etched into our taste buds. (I dont actually recommend trying to etch something into your tastebuds, but you get the point) So much so that the mere mention of it or seeing it makes us feel good and want some more (in moderation, of course) You know if your tastebuds really could talk it would make things easier, They could say stuff like "we need a little more bbq sauce in here", or "easy on the hot sauce dude" or "slow up on the licking your gonna freeze your brain and then he'll be complaining to us all day" they could even request something cool and refreshing when it gets a little hot in there. or not. Where was I? Oh yeah, explaining the flavor of the month which I still have not mentioned. My bad. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo go ahead and try something new to start off the new year and the new decade but I am going to say that the flavor of the month is you! Ok, Ok hold on. SHEESH! The flavor of the month is you because the flavor of the month is your favorite flavor. Whatever flavor that it. Chocolate, strawberry, snozberry, raspberry chip, tutti frutti, bubble gum, cookie dough, fudge double triple ripple, pickled frog lips (I'm gonna pass on the pickled frog lips but please feel free to have at it and knock yourself out. Not sure where you could get it though.) Now, I understand that your favorite may not be available right now (peachness perhaps) but I'm sure you have at least one that you dig while it's not around. As usual (and especially this month) all chips, chunks, dips, dunks, swirls,twirls.... (you know the rest) are in as well. Celebrate the new year with an old friend. The flavor that you yourself dig the most. (and maybe get a second dip of something new to go with it )
