I CANNOT successfully hide food from myself in my own house… or anywhere else for that matter. That’s why I get Mr Smaggle to hide treats for me. Although I must admit, he’s pretty bad at it. On the weekend I was vacuuming and found this stash under the couch.
Not only had he hidden the treats in the most OBVIOUS place but he’d hidden them all in the SAME place. It’s a good thing he’s pretty, that’s all I can say.
In his defense though, he got me good a little while ago. Remember back when I did the Allen’s Cheekies post? I got sent a box of Cheekies, most of which I swiftly crammed into my gob. I took several packs to a rehearsal of my play and as a consequence was adored for at least 20 minutes post consumption. As for the rest, Mr Smaggle hid them so I actually had some left to photograph for the post.
A few weeks passed and all the Cheekies had been consumed. In fact, additional twin packs had been purchased and consumed because OH MY LORD, FRUIT FLAVOURED SOFT CENTRE JELLIES BATMAN they are the BEST 3pm pick me up ever. They’re also portion controlled which is a major bonus for a seasoned over eater like me. The idea of the twin pack is that you eat one pack and save the other for later…because LITTLE TREATS!!!
So a little while after the Cheekies post, Mr Smaggle spent a full day helping a friend move house. Rather than offering to help, I decided to spend the day making love to my couch. I really wanted a little sweet treat but laziness beat my lolly desire to a pulp and I resigned myself to an afternoon of eating dry rice cakes instead. Mid-way through my 90210 marathon, I got a touch chilly and went to get a blanket out of the linen drawer. I gave the blanket a good shake and OUT FLEW A ROGUE BAG OF CHEEKIES!!! Mr Smaggle had tucked a small pack inside one of the blankets. It was just sitting there, waiting for a dangerously low blood sugar leveled Smaggle to discover it. That was the sweetest little bag of treats I’ve ever consumed. Made all the sweeter by the surprise discovery in my hour of need. Thank goodness for Mr Smaggle and his ability to think beyond hiding treats under the couch… occasionally.
Obviously I didn’t capture the moment at the time but here’s a dramatic reenactment of the event.
Okay so it was kind of hard to capture the shaking of the blanket and the Cheekies flying across the room but you get the picture. The I Found Secret Lollies Dance at the end is 100% accurate.
In typical fashion, Allen’s are offering one Smagglet an extra treat. They have a $100 Westfield voucher for one lucky little lolly lover.
All you have to do is tell us a cheeky tale in the comments about a time that you squirreled away a little treat to enjoy for yourself. The cheekier the better!
