Name that object.

Friends,

What do you think this straw looks like?

Walmart Straw

Walmart told this mother that they were “rocket ships”.

This was the closest thing I could find to a rocket ship. It’s a private rocket ship.? (Click the photo for the NYTimes article.)

 

Space Ship One

(If you are out of things to do this afternoon, check out the dialog at BoingBoing.net on this topic Fun straws are phallic?.)

Let’s help Walmart out.? What do YOU think the straw looks like??

    Wal-Mart has got to be kidding. A rocket ship? Hmph! Clearly, It’s a misshapen pear on a skewer!

    It’s a penis dressed up as a rocket ship on Halloween.

    I LOVE Colleen suggestion.

    A pencil dick with an inflated ego.

    My first thought was the Arby’s logo.

    But then, yeah, I saw the male anatomy.

    Maybe I’m hungry?

    That is hilarious! All the more reason to not buy those whacky straws.

    Well the rocket ship is sort of phallic but the straw looks anatomically male. Turn it around and it looks more feminine, like uterus and fallopian tubes. Very weird! A joke made in China?

    I thought of two guitars, then the Arby’s logo, then chocolate lollipops, then two dildos batteries not included, an object that does exactly what woman wants, when she wants, and for as long as she wants, then can be put away to wait nearby, fully charged, until needed. That’s when I knew that they were really marketing genius’ in Bentonville, Arkansas. Was I a little early on free association?

    I think I was genetically manufactured to like that shape… I just can’t seem to put my finger on why…

    Those are the most phallic shaped straws I have ever seen.

    *gasp* If Walmart is serious, how can it be that not one single person reviewing this item has a tiny bit of a perverted nature? Who wants to drink out of that? Lol!

    Los Angelista – You go to all those refined Hollywood parties. Of course, probably baked pear with a caramel sauce.

    Furiousball – I think the spaceshuttle crew just shuttered….

    Simple Kind Colleen – Do they sell those costumes at Wallmart? Maybe I should buy one for the husband for next Halloweeen…. ;)

    Janeywan – Um, you’re coming down to my level??

    Awareness – Did you have a pencil dick in mind?

    Janet – and the round objects? His eyes? Bring it on Jimmy!

    Susan Helene Gottfried – Arbys? Huh. I wonder why they don’t have those straws there…. ;)

    Tommie – Yes, you could have a game with the children – who can find the “spaceship” straw! lol!

    Loose Leaf Colleen – Who knew we all looked the same like that? Sounds like an excellent antomy lesson – would you drink out of it??

    CEO – You were held up in moderation… yes, chocolate lollipops? Um, isn’t that object called a “vibrator”?? Yes, marketing geniuses indeed.

    Michael C – Where’s the crack? WAIT – do not answer that!

    Fabbie – You and me both!

    Kelly – You and me both sister. I guess they use them for bachelorette parties as well as children’s parties.

    Odat – ahahahahah. Are you inviting me to suck the Walmart cock-straw?

    Nikki – Yes indeed they are!

    Jill – A porn star? Can you imagine using the straw for your lemonade??

    No one has ever accused me of being moderate, except politically, before. I knew I liked it here! Thank you.

    Personally, I try to avoid them as they usually are conspiracy theorists too.

    Lauren – Good thinking. I bet you’re right! lol!

    The CEO – ahahahahaha!

    No nonsense girl – Yep, I think you’re right!

    Awareness – That’s quite wise.

    I would have thought they were Christmas bells or maybe lilies.

    There must be something really wrong with me. I’m so ashamed.
