I’m affraid **elbows** is in a sugar coma right now. Seems she read the responses about graham crackers and vanilla wafers, and decided to find out once and for all which is the better platform for stray-frosting sammiches. Being the scientific sort, she felt that she needed to be comprehensive in her testing. So she went to the store and bought three types of each product (Nabisco, Sunshine, and the store brand), then nine cans of ready-made frosting (Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines and store brand; each in lemon, chocolate fudge, and chocolate), then made three batches of home-made frosting in those flavors.

Her research was exhaustive; unfortunately, when it came time to analyze the data, all she could do was lie on the sofa, twitching occasionally.

Disclaimer: I have never met **elbows**. To the best of my knowledge, what I described above did not actually occur.
