this story doesn’t really have a point

Yesterday I was reading those flyers that come with the newspaper, right? Because they’re colorful, and I like having something to look at while I linger in the kitchen, deciding what to snack on next.

And I settled on one that had, IDK, garden and hardware stuff. It was fun, because you never know when you might need to incorporate a cordless lithium hedge trimmer* into a fic, right?

I got distracted (and a little nostalgic) over the ratchet tie-downs (set of 4 for just $18.99!) because I once drove a station wagon who’s rear door thing didn’t latch right, and we held it shut with a ratchet tie-down. It was blue. (The tie-down, not the car. The car was tan.)

But! I soon noticed another product. Get this: “Marvel Mystery Lubricant Oil.” I double-taked. Apparently, this is A REAL PRODUCT. Like, for cars. But yeah, my mind went there.**

(*A real thing! Who knew?)

(**Helped along by the fact that when I googled this actually-a-legit-product, the site reviewing it suggested I might also be interested in reading about “Marvel Squinkies.” Right. ALSO a real product, much to my surprise. Kid-safe reading, if you google; no worries.)
