You are what you eat. This idiom has always seemed darkly cannibalistic. What broccoli eats other broccoli? Gnarly twisted loony broccoli, that's who. And that's the most metal thing we've ever heard. Children, by definition, are idiots. One of the reasons you were told scare-tactic myths as a child is because you believed them to be law. Cross your eyes and they'll get stuck like that. If you keep playing with it, it's going to fall off. If you keep trying to eat the cardboard cereal box, you'll sprout goat horns. As adults, we're still idiots, but it's great because we get to consciously choose which hyperboles we trust. You are what you eat is still a crowd favorite, possibly because of it's wonky undertones. Rise of the cuckoo carrots? The crackpot cucumbers? Bonker beets? Sign us up for that wild ride anyday.

Decisions are notoriously tough. Sometimes a decision is so tough, that we veto our own power of choosing. This is one of those times:  Dear internet,  Should we make a Harambe memorial Freaker?  Love,  The Freakerteam. 

Imagine a world where people roam in complete peace and harmony. Where everybody holds hands, and frolicks in the fields, wearing nothing but flowers.

Unless it's committed by an otter.  This week only, Grand Theft Otter Freakers and Freaker Feet are 30% off!
