The room that does not spark joy
A box/drawer/room that causes a twitch in your right eye every time you walk past, but not enough that you actually do anything about it.
Halloween in Sweden – part 2
My contributions of 'ghost bananas' and mini 'pumpkins' we not the most popular choice. I blame 1) merchandise positioning - he'd placed them right near the big pot of candy and 2) his complete failure to sell them in.
