Melt Down!



BREAKING NEWS! Yesterday, on an ordinary stove on an ordinary day, disaster struck the innocent. Mr. Taco Seasoning was quietly sitting after assisting with dinner in the kitchen. The night was quiet, the kids were in bed and the dishes washed. The air smelled of fresh baked brownies.... when suddenly a distinct burning sensation was felt by Mr. Seasoning. He couldn't move, the air thick with a burning, horrible smell. The heat intensified and began to take it's toll, there was no way out. The unrelenting heat badly contorted his once smooth exterior. Seasoning knew his time was coming to an end as he slowly slumped over.

Mr. Seasoning was later found by his associate, John Matthews, but sadly it was too late. After a quick investigation, it was determined that Matthews had set the oven to Self Clean and neglected to move Seasoning from the stove to the counter, his regular hang out. Mr. Taco Seasoning will be missed until his replacement arrives later this month.

Case Update: Mr. Matthews was charged with spice neglect and fined $8.00 in restitution.

Very cute, and what a sad ending for Mr.Seasoning. Bummer. We just had a similar experience with Mrs. Spoon-holder.
