OK, we need a flavor of the month for June. Gonna be tough to outdo straws since they went over pretty big but we'll see what we can come up with. Once it starts warming up (like today when it's gonna be in the 80's again) we really really need something to us down. Something to help us beat the heat. SOmething cold and refreshing. Now, we could take the easy route and go with frozen yogurt (or frogurt for those in the know) but that's just not how we roll. Of course, we would want to include frogurt in our flavor of the month since it is frogurts month. We need to think outside the box (so if you are in a box right now please step out of it at least until you are done reading this. or not. pretty much your call on this one) We need to think about what makes a flavor of the month a flavor to begin with. What is it that makes us dig that tasty treat the most? Why do each of us have our own favorites? Why did the chicken cross the road? (probably nothing to do with flavors of the month, or was it moving on) I think the simple answer would be that each of us have our own taste buds and those taste buds each have their own favorite flavors. Yes they kinda help us make the decision as to what we think is pretty darn tasty and what is just downright gross. So I think we need to show our tastebuds some love by giving them what they crave the most as often as we can. Of course those taste buds need someplace to hang out and of course when it comes time for the flavor of the month what better place than the ultimate taste delivery system... The TONGUE! WAIT THAT'S IT! It's time to show some love to our lickers and have the tongue be the star! Yes folks, June will be the month of the tongue and all the things it loves to lick. Turn it purple or green or red... It doesn't mind. It just craves some more love. Just put your tongue into it and let the licking begin. So there you have it. The Tongue and all it's lickability deserve some respect and we will show it that respect for the month of june. So get down with you and your tongues favorite treat and keep in mind that all chips chunks, dips, dunks, swirls, twirls... you know the rest are more than just in. They are what your tongue wants to get down with this month (and pretty much any other month)


show your tastebuds some love people, you know what they like!
