Several months ago, I wrote a short article<\/i><\/a> about a rather, er, \u201cunique\u201d place I passed while traveling: the Uranus Fudge Factory in Uranus, MO. My schedule didn\u2019t permit me to stop then; but on a subsequent trip, I had a schedule that allowed a stop.<\/p>\n

Yeah, it was worth stopping. The place was a hoot \u2013 a bit juvenile, but a hoot nonetheless.<\/p>\n

The title of this article is what you hear from the sales staff on entering the place \u2013 spoken loudly and proudly. (smile) You\u2019re also greeted by this . . . guy(?) holding a sign to the same effect:

\nBut if you\u2019re observant, besides the place\u2019s name you get another clue about the place before you even enter. There\u2019s a sign that tips you off posted outside the building. You can see it from the parking lot as you approach the building to enter (be sure to read the fine print):

\nHere\u2019s a close-up of the sign:

\nThe place was a bit crowded inside. But it seems they have plans for expansion:

\nIf you have to make a latrine call (I\u2019d been on the road for a few hours by then, so yeah \u2013 I did), depending on your gender you might see this sign:

\n 
\nOne disappointment: I got there in time for lunch, and was planning on trying the wings at the saloon and party bar next door. Unfortunately, that business doesn\u2019t open until 4PM. Should you decide to go and also plan to eat, you might want to take that into account. You won\u2019t be able get anything to eat there except snack-type stuff before 4PM, and there\u2019s not much else in the immediate vicinity.<\/p>\n

No, I didn\u2019t get anyone We KnOw AnD \u201clOvE\u201d a union T-shirt<\/i><\/a> during the stop. Their T-shirts were kinda pricey; ol\u2019 purple-tiger-striped Blunder Chicken simply isn\u2019t worth what I\u2019d have had to spend.<\/p>\n

And no – I didn\u2019t try the fudge, either. (smile)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
