SURREAL FACT OF THE DAY.



Just saw a news item that CHUPA CHUPS, the lollipop brand (!), will be releasing a line of clothing shortly. That's already pretty weird, but amazingly not the Surreal Fact of the Day (TM). The surreal part is that in the same news item it mentioned that the CHUPA CHUPS logo was designed by the artist SALVADOR DALI!? Checked up on this and it's true. Post should probably should have been called the Surreal-ist Fact of the Day...

UPDATE: Extra info sent by a reader. CHUPA CHUPS were invented in Spain and the name comes from the spanish verb 'chupar', meaning to suck (not to suck at). Useful language knowledge for any readers dating Spanish girls...
