Where does the comma go?

[mlady_france]

When I was at the mall this afternoon, I walked into a new store. It had all kinds of home made jams, candies, and cake mixes. As I was looking threw them I found one that caught my eye. On the lable was "Better Than Sex Cake In A Jar". This I didn't see the word cake at first, so of course I picked it up to take a closer look. After reading the lable in its intirety, it made me wonder where the comma would go. Is it "Better Than Sex Cake, In A Jar", or Better Than Sex, Cake In A Jar"?

The former would not require a comma. The latter should have a colon.

Maybe they should've put it this way: Better-Than-Sex Cake In a Jar

"Better Than Cake, Sex With A Bear"?

LOL! You edited it!

Sex in a bar, sex with a bear... it's all better than cake, jar or no jar.


Mlady, yes! I'm with Imp. It should be a colon. "Better Than Sex: Cake In A Jar"

 

[mlady_france]

Maybe I should rephrase the question then.

Where would the natural pause go?

Better than a jar (pause) cake with sex.

Well, I've heard of "Better Than Sex Cake," so I'm going to say the pause would go between "cake" and "in a jar."

I'm a Dr. Seuss wanna-be

On the "un-edited" version I agree with Ms. Imp and Ms. Tatelou

Aha! Well, that does change things somewhat. I've not heard of better than sex cake.

So, hmmm, if it's that it should be: "Better Than Sex Cake - In A Jar!"

Or sommat like dat.

Someone who's not getting any. (That's sex, not cake, btw. )

Cheers! I might make some and send it to those in need. I've got a heart of gold.

That's cos I am, mate.

I prize the beautiful natural ambiguity of the label. Are not the endless coinciding possibilities more lovely than any one of the more clear but more limited interpretations? Plus, it leaves you able to sue for false advertising no matter what you find in it.

Why, thank you, kind sir.

(I've been accused of sounding like Princess Di. Princess Di phone sex, no less! It was Abs, so I took it with a pinch of salt. I can talk about her now she's gone. )

Better Than Sex Cake

That recipe sounds terribly unappealing to me. Which leads to the next question: if that's better than sex, what kind of sex are these people having?! I mean, have they talked with the doctor about which bits are meant to go with which other bits, or is someone still tryng to get her toe in his ear?

Well, they're using instant pudding and Cool Whip and margarine instead of the real stuff ... so I wouldn't expect their sex to be all that & a bag of chips.

 

[mlady_france]

The recipie I have has a lot more chocolate in it, and no instant stuff. All real butter, whipping cream, bitter sweet chocolate. I have to admit, I am very fond of it.
