I feel like the audience for this joke may be pretty narrow, but someone may enjoy it as much as I do! #physics #sewing
I had no idea that this would resonate with SO many people! While I’ve got your attention, a couple of quick reminders
-#FoodBanks are really struggling this year, and they can make dollars go much further than they can the pre-packaged, overpriced, house brand “donation bundle” that grocery stores put out so you can pay full price and they can reap the benefits. If you’re able to, please donate! When you have more wood than you need, build a bigger table, not a higher fence.
-Support your local #PlannedParenthood or other legitimate sexual and reproductive health organizations! Their services go SO far beyond what most people imagine, and are a safer space for many who cannot safely access information at home!
-Everyone is struggling right now in one way or another. Please show each other some #kindness!
Caveat: don’t let your family and friends off the hook for being hateful.
-Share your best memes. Like, when one legitimately makes you laugh out loud, you have an ethical obligation to share that with the rest of us to make us laugh too. Share the meme you wish to see in the world!

@Shireen I've actually had a few of the cookies. They're okay.

@Shireen ❤️

At one point, I became known as the Woman Who Collects Tins. People gave them, with their contents, to me. I loved them, but I had so many that I couldn't store them, and sent them on to the charity shop.

However, I still have the tin that my grandmother used as a button box, and I I loved to go through it arranging her buttons. It is now a small sewing kit so I don't have to dig through my other supplies to make a repair.

@Shireen I don’t think the audience is as narrow as you imagine.
@EndTheRegistry I’m starting to see that! This is maybe the most popular post I’ve made on ANY social networking site, lol!
@Shireen thank you for this. It brings me back to 1986. Playing in the playroom with the bright red carpet. A tin of Royal Dansk cookies before me. Its contents unknown.
@Shireen I think it should be Schrödinger's sewing supplies. 😆
@Shireen every grandmother and crafter i have ever known 😂
@Shireen oddly enough this is somehow a worldwide experienced phenomenon
@Shireen We had Schrodinger's cookies when I was a kid. They were both there (my mother believed) and not there (I knew) until my mother opened the tin.
@Shireen oh! Mine has a spicy third option: radiation detector!
@Shireen if you’re curious, its a kit i got from this tiny tiny #colorado based company http://www.madscientisthut.com/
Mad Scientist Hut Supplies for the home electronics enthusiast.

@chipchirp that would be both super interesting and super terrifying to have!
@Shireen this is soooo true! However when at the store this weekend and exclaimed "oh look they have the new sewing kits out for the holidays" and my husband did not get it.

@michelebutcherjones @Shireen

Now THAT'S funny, Michelle...😜🤣🏆

Apparently your hubs is of the few who've never been faked out by that tin!

@Shushorchid @Shireen he does know to check the butter bowl because it could be leftovers instead lol

@michelebutcherjones @Shireen

Oh my GAAAAAWD!🤦🏻‍♀️

Listen!

I read that, and was totally lost about what you meant, so didn't reply!
I had some sleep, just woke up, and read it again - and it suddenly clicked!
It took me the ENTIRE DAY to realize you're referring to the 'fancy' kind of Tupperware...😜🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👻

@michelebutcherjones @Shireen

YAAAAAAAAAS!
🤣🤣🤣🤣👻

It took me a minute, but I figured your reference out...😅

@Shireen Peter Kay...uk comic...look him up

@Shireen

Every child's/sweet-tooth's nightmare!😅

🤣🤣🤣

@Shireen i feel like there should be a prank where you fill it with a secret third thing
@Shireen (its blood. just, blood, all the way to the top.)
@Shireen I'm a part of that "narrow" audience, as much Germans are (as far as I know). In mostly every household I know is such a cookie box! 👍
@Shireen OH I LOLed very hard, thank you for that
@Shireen Every time my brother and I pass a display of these we say look! Sewing kits! People nearby either crack up or looks utterly confused.

@Shireen I remember this from when I was a kid …

but it always wound up being spools of thread. : (

@Shireen if someone didn't make this joke, I would have
@Shireen I inherited my grandmother’s cookie tin with her sewing machine, as well as her fruitcake button box.
@Shireen they have, in fact, been both at my mothers place.
@Shireen LOL! When I opened mine, it was full of nuts, bolts and screws!
@Shireen I prefer to order my tin of cookies from Vienna because I'm a fan of the many-whirled interpretation.
@Shireen In my house it was a Whitman's Sampler tin for some reason! (originally contained chocolates)
