Unfortunate funnel cake sign

(Click on thumbnails for enlargement)

The painting of this funnel cake (found on a sign at Maker Faire Austin, which is happening this weekend), looks like it has already been consumed and pushed through the human tube. The wavy and spiral lines rising from the treat are supposed to convey sparkly goodness, but they look more like flies and odor emanations.

That’s no funnel cake! It’s a radioactive UFO getting ready to warp through a gateway in the woof!

Ironically funnel cakes don’t take much nicer than poop.

Damn I’m hungry.
I can’t decide if I want a delicious funnel cake or some poop.

Cripes! The deep fried pile looks even more turd-like if you view the enlargement.

Can’t wait to see their add for chunky peanut butter.

“Sparkly goodness”? I try to avoid that in a food product, anyway…
