TIB’S SEASON OF GIVING 2024: Day 2

This mystery box is shaped differently than the others. That’s because it contains a ba…Oh, I almost gave it away. I can tell you what’s in this box is all swag from the same company. I think. I sealed it up already so I might’ve snuck something else in it to make room in another mystery box. I mean, you know how it goes when trying to stuff as much as you can in USPS Flat Rate Priority Boxes. It’s like trying to put clowns in a clown car or potato chip crumbs into your mouth.

RULES:

To enter this prize drawing for this Mystery Box of accumulated swag, leave a comment with THIS post, and that comment MUST include the word “kumquat.”

    When I was about 7, I had already gained a reputation in the family as an adventurous eater. So when we were at the grocery store in the produce section, and Mom saw my fascination with the tiny kumquats, she let me put one in the cart. I wasn’t a huge fan of the mix of sour and sweet, plus I think it was a bit dried out. Still, it’s an enduring memory of my mom.
