8. 1.4% - What did I get myself into? This thing tastes like a pair of old gym socks. How am I ever going to chew and swallow this bite. Note to self, never eat something I don’t recognize.

9. He ELIMINATED funding for immigrant services and we will probably be forced to lay off half of our staff, maybe even close completely. 100 years of service down the drain. But on the bright side he did stop by and buy 2 dozen! What a great guy!!

20. You made this one with the changes I asked for? Gee thanks, but it still doesn’t taste quite right. The SGOPs are gonna vote present on the Paczki bill.

    Maybe if you added some sprinkles. Or made it vanilla. But I don’t want to interfere with your ethnic traditions or anything.
