Mrs. Veggie's Picture
Mrs. Veggie, Raglan, New Zealand/Scranton, PA Age and Occupation: 27, Director of Small Non-Profit Fiance's Age and Occupation: 42, PhD Student & Farmer Engagement Date: June 13, 2009 Wedding Date: August 2010 Venue: Indian Head Camp, Honesdale Pennsylvania About Me: I am a tree-huggin' farmer turned enthusiastic wedding-planner. I live in a house truck and wear flip-flops more often than shoes. In my old life I was a high school Spanish teacher in love with a crazy guy who lived off-the grid on a farm in New Hampshire. But, we decided to mix things up a bit, quit our jobs and move to New Zealand. My southern hemisphere lifestyle involves growing veggies, teaching, running our small non-profit, and surfing. I love laughing, singing, playing, and the inspirational Mr. Veggie (of course!). For our wedding, I am committed to throwing a killer party that celebrates our values without breaking the bank. Look forward to an eco-thrifty summer-campy weekend-long extravaganza.

Looking for a no-fuss way to drop some pounds before your big day? Why bother with exercise and a healthy diet when, with this fabulous product, you can simply absorb the fat away! Also available in blonde, brunette, prematurely grey, and receding hairline formulas.

OK, that last part was a lie. There are no other formulas. Now you all know our secret for staying so darned sexy.

Don’t worry Redheads, I wont be trying to ingest your product. Although a product that is all natural and also promises to reduce odour (with a “u”) is pretty tempting. And I’m sure Mr. Veggie wouldn’t mind the reduced risk of flare-ups. They’ve been happening more and more frequently as the wedding approaches.

By the way, I’d like to thank you for your corporate sponsorship of New Zealand’s “hug a ginger day”. I’m assuming you’re the ones behind it, right?

Oh, and Redheads, I find your sexy packaging and very small “not for human consumption” label (hidden away on the back side of the bag) a tad misleading. I was almost duped by the seductress on the front into thinking that I too could have fantastic cat-eyes and slim shoulders. But then I read the fine print. If only I was a BBQ Drip Tray. Darn you karma for making me a human. Maybe next time.

Who can I thank for this wonderful product and the hilarity it prompted? Ah yes. Thanks again, Australia. Another fine contribution to the world from our neighbors to the west. Hmm…”all natural”, “made in Australia”… do you think any kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, or platypi were harmed in the making of this product? Likely, very likely.

* I am not being paid by Redheads for this product placement. Although, if you’re out there Redheads, I am available for print ads, and TV. commercials (my American accent probably wouldn’t go over so well on radio).

In all seriousness, I hope that all of you who are working hard to be your healthiest selves for wedding day have come across some better ideas than this. If so, I’d love to hear how it’s going for you. My efforts have been bit lackluster of late and I could use some motivation.

bahahaha, I saw the first picture and I was like, “For real?! i need to order some of this stuff” I proceeded to be dissappointed and slightly crushed upon further examination, Thank god I didn’t see that first and blend it up with my smoothie.

Well I’m married already but I am trying to lose some weight just for life. I have been weighing myself every Tuesday (lost 3.2 lbs this week!) with a scale that gives me my weight, my body fat % and my water %. Then.. I write all that info on a piece of paper that is taped to my bathroom mirror. So I have to look at it every morning and night, AND.. the hubs sees it every day. Quite motivating.

I’m so confused. What is this stuff? I get that you’re making a joke, but what is the stuff for real? Am I missing something?

Hahaha - Seriously, someone might mistakenly eat that or sprinkle it on their food in a misguided attempt to absorb fat! Love the post :D

Haha, I guess cuz I’m in Australia and see this all the time, I didn’t quite react like everyone else. I was just thinking “Yeah, I get it. Why would she eat them??” hehe

The product absorbs the fat left over in your bbq after grilling a steak, making it easier to clean it.
See the line: “If only I was a BBQ Drip Tray”
