 Disappointing August 15, 2008

I planted mine in a separate area next to my yellow and mixed color sunflowers and they never sprouted. (shrugs) I wonder if I got an old batch of seeds.

I love sunflower seeds, chocolate, and cherries, so you can imagine my delight when I found these Chocolate Cherry Sunflower Seeds available on Amazon. When the packet arrived, I tore it open and downed the entire contents into my eager mouth, expecting an explosion of chocolate-cherry-sunflowery sapidity. Instead, I got a mouthful of hard shells. I crunched through the tough, outer hulls, wondering at the inventiveness of the manufacturers who had somehow injected chocolate and cherry flavors into hard, unopened shells, but then as I macerated both hull and softer kernel into a splintery mash, found that the chocolate and cherry flavors had somehow gone missing.
When my wife came home, I mentioned to her how I was ripped off by the Chocolate Cherry Sunflower Seeds which lacked both chocolate and cherry flavors and, in fact, were barely edible. My wife picked up the empty packet, looked at it for a moment, and then hit me over the head with a dining room chair. "You idiot," she said, "these seeds are for planting." She then clobbered me with an antique, oak coat tree. "I don't know why I ever married you," she continued, "you are always doing stupid, embarrassing things, and no matter how hard I hit you, you never learn." She then whacked me with the coffee table for emphasis.
Maybe I had gotten a bad batch of seeds. I think I will order them again, and the next time, the manufacturers had better not forget the chocolate and cherry flavors, or someone is going to get a beating!
