Childrens' story

(a Fashion design project based on stuffed animals - we had to come up with designs and a story. Sorry, the designs were trashed with the contents of my parent's house) Anabel and Suzi were enemies and so a fairy decided to interfere and change both into stuffed animals at a toy store. They could still speak to each other, however. Anabel had been changed into a kangaroo and Suzi into a rabbit. Unknown to them, an evil wizard had changed Franco and Maxwell into a hedgehog and teddy respectively. They, too, could still talk to each other. They had been stuck at the toy store for such a long time, that they were put on sale. People did not buy them, since all the children in that town already had a teddy and hedgehogs were perceived to be too prickly. Great was Maxwell's joy when he heard Anabel and  Suzi fighting about their lot. He promptly launched himself out of the sales basket and called to the girls. Franco, being his prickly self, did not want to have anything to do

Unfortunate names for food companies

The mind boggles why anyone would a) name their food distributor this and b) why people would buy from them: Uncanny foods Gastro foods I mean: Seriously, where the no better options? (both found in Cape Town - you might be able to google them)
