Take A Wild Guess Day!
April 15, 2014 There's really only one way to celebrate this, so...
TAKE A WILD GUESS, GUYS:
;)
Just so you know, I honestly and sincerely have no idea what this is supposed to be. I know what it LOOKS like, of course - (A baby shower cake. Eh? EH?!) - but it's so badly done, with those inexplicable pom-poms and zig-zags - and why is it blue? - that I just... I can't even... no.
Just... no.
What's that, John? Today is also "That Sucks Day"?
Aaaannnnd SCENE.
Thanks to Jennifer C. for submitting this with no details whatsoever, and also for proving once again that I couldn't make this stuff up even if I tried.

I'm pretty sure it says right on the package"Take a wild guess". I like jklDuke's "airplane breaking through the bad taste barrier" interpretation--hilarious! Also, I was a child of the 60's, when Marshall Macluan put out his "The medium is the message" jazz. The message here might be that you need to be on something to make any sense of it. I didn't have as much fun as some because I didn't do drugs. The photo credit itself reads: "suggestive mystery item". What it "suggests" to me is an upside-down, blue elephant face, surrounded by little suggestive mushroom clouds hinting at oblivion.Take a good look folks; it could be the last blue-faced elephant you'll ever see. But at least it beats a "suggestive" blue- ball type of thing like celebrating a vasectomy...Hey, wait a minute....! =^0.o^=
It's upside down. It's a fire breathing dragon. Seriously... turn it the other way round.
I have no idea what that blue thing is supposed to be and I am pretty sure that I do NOT want to know, but reading all those comments just makes my day. And night.... ;)
from Game of Thrones, BTW...
Drogo the dragon maybe? Cuz black frosting would be ugly, right, and they needed to use up the blue?
If you turn it upside down it sortof looks like a baby boy general grievous.
Obviously it is an upside down elephant.
I don't care what it is, I am NOT no NEVER EVER NEVER eating any of it..
I'm guessing a gender reveal? A not very subtle one?
@shannon: Caduceus? Absurd! There is only one snake so it is clearly the Rod of Asclepius. Somebody's rod, anyway.
Is it something my ex wife hated
Cake maker wanted to be extra sure that even the colorblind guests know the baby's gender?
"those inexplicable pom-poms and zig-zags - and why is it blue?"
It's probably blue because it's for a baby shower for a boy. I believe the two white pom-poms at the base and the white zigzag going up are meant to represent the, er, material which creates the baby. The stream at the top and the droplets to either side bolster this idea.
I'm guessing a customer called this in to a local grocery and then never had the - ha - balls to come in and actually pay for it.
The torn apart "Clearance" sticker on this item is exactly the same as the ones used by our regional grocery chain, which shall remain nameless because I love, love, love that store. The blue icing, however, is a shade very close to the school color of our beloved UNC Tarheels -- Carolina Blue. So I am wondering if someone in the bakery was so bummed out by our team's performance in the NCAA tournament that they vented all their frustration and sorrow into a giant, steaming, huge mess of icing on a cookie cake. Just a theory.
That's an iteresting way to tell people it's a boy...
A penis wearing a corset for a bachelorette party....powder blue is the bride's "signature color"??
A disgruntled employee's resignation?
It looks like a number one to me, albeit poorly done. But I can tell from the sticker that's probably a Harris Teeter lol
My kids say it looks like an upside down elephant...one says it looks like a wave with cotton balls...o.o
So that's where I put the bachlorette party cake! But what to tell the more prudish people attending? I know, flip it the other way 'round and it's an elephant with a really bad cold. Either possibility doesn't make sound particularly tasty but.... you can't have it all?
It's a previously frozen hard-boiled egg. Someone dropped it from the counter and it smooshed at the bottom before bouncing.
You're welcome @Sharyn!!!
Man. I thought it was a sperm whale.
The second thought that came to my mind (the first being a cartoonish version of male genitalia) is that it is an absurdly drawn numeral 1, perhaps for a first birthday?
I really think it's a whale tail splashing into the water, and the random white stuff around it is water splashes.
Why are some of them tipped in blue, you ask...? You know how when water splashes in the ocean, and they say it's 'white caps'..? I think the 'artist'...and I use that term VERY loosely...just got the colors backwards.
What occasion one would need a whale tail cookie for tho...I have no idea..
Btw, the zig-zags are probably to 'highlight' the shiny wet part down the center of the whale's tail.
Whatdoiwin, whatdoiwin..?? Cuz I totally nailed it! :) No really, call the store...I got this.
I think that must be someone's "I Quit" cake.
I think it's *supposed* to be a number 1... I'm usually not good at this but I'm trying to play dirty minds...
Could be something from "Frozen", like the girl's dress.
Wildly popular with kids.
It's a hot mess...that's what it is!!!
For some reason, Let it go! Let it go! I can't hold it back anymore comes to mind.
It's clearly a penis ejaculating. The "lobes" to the left and right are merely reflections on the plastic lid. Eeew.
Long-time reader first-time poster. I think it is an image of this Frozen dress at Toys-R-Us: http://www.toysrus.com/buy/role-play/disney-frozen-enchanting-dress-elsa-63592-6-20631936
While it's upside down and the photo is partly cut off, I suspect it's supposed to be an Easter cross.
It's a first birthday cookie cake. It's a number 1.
Old timey hypodermic needle!
A JIZZ cookie, that exploded it's load? Gross.
As amused as I am by the "messy cookie" label, and the hideously scabrous fraternity tradition of a very similar name, I remain unable to decide whether the confection in question is upside down or not.
Yeah ...
That's what he said and I didn't believe him about the "blue" status but now here is proof.
Sorry, hubby. I was wrong and you were right.
It's a copepod with egg sacs. Looks a lot like a Cyclopoida copepod. Cute little freshwater invertebrate, a crustacean, so a cousin of crabs and lobster. Maybe there's a National Freshwater Invertebrate Day?
I'm thinking Smurf porn?!?
Thanks to my daughter's obsession with Frozen, I can confidently claim this to be Elsa's Ice Castle sitting atop the uber huge mountain with snow and icicles scattered about it.
That or an elephant sneezed....
My thoughts on this are X-rated!
I'm not going to have a funny comment with this but, there are some bakeries that allow children to decorate on Sunday's (Grocery stores and such) I've seen similar cakes and cookies decorated by my nieces and they actually put them out to sell them. Just a thought...
I think it's the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid. She's just headless. It is, after all, a children's movie.
I also thought it looked like Sharknado
I say the cookie got mad and ate the wreckerator after realizing they were putting horrid sperm like creatures upon it lol. Would explain the sploshes of frosting. If not I am clueless too hehe.
I don't know what it is, but I think it's been TP'd.
"It's a boy"? As obvious as they can make it?
I believe this is what they call 'Freeform' in the cake decorating world.
I'm guessing Scissors cutting white ribbons??
If it's from frozen, I would guess that it's supposed to be a water fountain turning to ice and throwing snow into the air, which does happen in the movie.
