Perhaps, just maybe, I might have actually enjoyed that Wispride cheese spread. It had a certain allure that piqued my interest, but alas, it had already vanished into thin air before I stumbled upon the forsaken crock that would soon become my trusty storage companion. You see, this crock served as a cozy abode for my collection of dice, pens and pencils, assorted change, rubber bands, and a whole array of other nifty knick-knacks that found solace within its ceramic embrace. It was a robust vessel, so well-crafted that I truly believed it would withstand the test of time and endure indefinitely. However, my heart sank one fateful evening when, after returning home late from my job at the local video store, I discovered the shattered remains of my faithful crock sprawled across the floor next to my desk.

Now, the most widely accepted theory is that my four-legged companion accidentally collided with the desk, knocking over the treasured crock in the process. However, I have my suspicions, even to this day, that one of my dear sisters may have played a role in its untimely demise. You see, they had a knack for inadvertently breaking my belongings and conveniently shifting the blame onto our innocent dog. Just to give you an idea, they've confessed to breaking various items such as my awesome giant light bulb desk lamp, my beloved Batman talking clock, and even my epic Death Star playset. But, when it comes to the crock, they remain tight-lipped and steadfast in their denial. They seem to think that as time passes, I'll simply forget about it, but let me tell you, a magnificent brown container like that is not easily erased from one's memory.

Now, here I am, confronted by this commercial that has unexpectedly resurrected old wounds, reopening the scars of the past, and fueling my unyielding determination to uncover the truth. It's as if the advertisement serves as a reminder, urging me to seek justice for the mysteries that continue to linger. Though the memories it evokes may be painful, it ignites a fire within me, a fire that kindles my resolve to embark on a relentless quest for answers. This journey may not be without its trials and tribulations, but armed with the recollection of that splendid brown container, I march forward undeterred, resolute in my pursuit of the truth.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
