Remembering that one time when I was an innocent kid who bought my mom a cute coffee mug for Christmas. It had a smiling cartoon bear holding a red heart on it.
It said "Does this mean you love me, or do you always have a heart on?"
She still has the mug. I'm not sure she understood it.

I love these!
They're just Flaming Hot Cheetos - they taste identical, as far as I can tell. But that's why I love them. I really like Flaming Hot Cheetos, but I hate that they stain my fingers, and my mouth, and if I'm not careful my clothes, with their unnecessary red coloring. A+
