Upon opening a Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme, you will see this unappetizing “chocolate cookie bits in ‘white’ chocolate.” Looks like something else to me.
Autumn has summer in the corner of the ring and is about to peform a suplex-body-slam-double-digit-powerbomb on autumn. hmm, it seems like autumn always beats summer. And winter always beats autumn. And spring always beats winter. And summer always beats…
