Product endorsement FAIL.

A few weeks ago, the lovely ladies behind Blissfully Domestic and the One2One Network sent up a flare. They were looking for people to try the new Kraft Bagel-fuls and submit witty comments with a review of the product for the chance to win prizes. (And don't ask me what those prizes were because that was far more than 15 minutes ago...my current window within which something can be remembered before I succumb to the brain suck that the word "MOOOOOM!" induces).

They were sending coupons to a select number of us chickies who requested them, so that we could try them free, and lucky me - they picked my name!

Now, just so you know, Bagel-fuls are like Pop-Tarts for grown ups. Think Hot Pocket meets jelly donut, where the outside is a nice chewy little bagel. Being a working Mom, I was excited to try these, thinking they may be another option for "its o-dark-thirty and I can't believe I'm on the road to work" fare.

But, see, I decided to try them on a Saturday morning, simply because you could gain an extra entry to the contest if you took a photo of your family enjoying the Bagel-fuls and posted a link to that as well. I thought, "My kids are cute and photogenic - I could win this thing!!!"

That's when things went horribly wrong.

I like to call this series, "CUZ I'M THE BIG BROTHER - THAT'S WHY!!!"

we start off happy enough

We started off well enough...

then - wait - he took the box!

...then someone got a little too territorial with the box...

what the?!?

...and someone else got all grabby, leading me to fear for the safety of my yummy bagel-ey goodness.

that's MY BOX, dammit!

This photo was taken approximately 10 seconds before the all-out brawl began.
Mommy ran with the strawberry cream cheese filled pastries to the safety of the kitchen.

No Bagel-fuls were harmed in the making of this product endorsement.

Till we ate them.

one final "one up" on the little brother - all good!

And they were good.
