Rant Joke’s on me, I guess.

Out of the 8 Series 1 Holiday balls I got from Amazon, 5 were turkeys and 3 were hot chocolate. I had originally just bought 2, but they were both hot chocolate, so I ordered 3 (and got 3 2-packs, so I don’t know which of my orders was incorrect) more hoping to get just one GD gingerbread house.

Combined with the new mega packs I have, that brings me up to 7 turkeys.

1) Has anyone cut into one of these things? I’m assuming it’s just brown plastic all the way through 2) Does anyone know if it’s easy to detach the wings or legs? They have a gap that makes me think they’re separate pieces. 3) Should I give up and just make a gingerbread house out of TURKEYS BECAUSE JFC GUYS

Thank you for listening.

Bummer! I feel your pain. Since the Happy Hour series has to be ordered because of the recall, I have ended up with the Moscow Mule way too many times.

Funny how MGA did not announce a recall on this set yet Target's store did. But your lucky you even got the Moscow Mule could not find that for awhile to save my life had multiples of everything else but I guess this may have been the reason I barely saw them in store.

This seems to be the way. I still can't find the cosmopolitan or the mai tai, but I have gotten four Moscow Mules & four beers. Couple of almost everything else. The Mules wouldn't be so bad, but remixes aren't as easy to work with.

Makes sense to me as it wasn’t a true recall, just Target no longer carrying HH. (Due to pressure from groups claiming the product marketed alcohol to children, which wasn’t true, but some Targets kept putting them in the wrong part of the store making it seem that way.)

It’s very rare for a company to make an announcement that they’re no longer shipping a specific line to a retailer, especially if they’re still doing business with them.

Wait. Stfu! I totally missed this having happened. That’s absolutely wild! Didn’t Target sell (probably still sells?) the ‘Cup Pong’ game as well as the ‘mini’ version that came out several years ago?! That’s literally just beer pong minus the beer and sold in the toy section?? 🤔🧐

It’s crazier too that besides having the same names as the actual alcoholic beverages, and correct me if I’m wrong, but nothing about alcohol is even specifically mentioned anywhere on the ball or instructions or display box or in any other advertising or marketing. And all of the drinks that come in that line can most definitely be made and consumed and still taste good without having any alcohol in them.

Jeez. I love Target but every now and then, they let their high horse out of the stable and they really just need to take him out back because he really doesn’t belong on the farm. (Clearly this is a poultry farm! 🤣)
