Tunnel of fudge is a well-established Bundt cake recipe. It's been around
for nearly 40 years. It's a Pillsbury bake-off thing. They used to sell a
boxed mix when Bundt cakes were all the rage.

Yes, I know that (or worse), but what I don't get is that all of a sudden
they're thinking this? Tunnel of fudge <cake> cas been a dessert for
decades. More like they're just trying to find something funny to write.
Phffft! How silly!

Wayne, a commercial came on and I thought people would laugh.
Big friggin whoop. You didn't think it was funny. So what. I don't
think a lot of stuff is funny either but I let it slide. Just drop it. I
meant no harm.

And by the way, no, I had never heard of tunnel of fudge cake, I
rarely have desserts, but I still would have giggled at the name.
So. What.

I meant no harm either, Nancy. I found it odd that anyone would have
thought it was funny, since it had been a well known dessert for a long
time. Drop it? I wasn't making a campaign of it.

Yep, so what. It's not that important. I didn't think it was funny when
the original recipe surfaced years ago. But, then, I have absolutely
sense of humor!

Is it a midwest thing, maybe? Honestly, I never heard of it, and I
have a penchant for word games. Whatever you want to call it.
It amused me.

I'm a July person, we laugh at the silliest things. We were going
to bed a couple of nights ago and I said, for flat out no apparent
reason, why am I blue and you're green. Well, I don't know why
I said that as a joke, it's stupid.

Without missing a beat, ron said, because we're two M&Ms
talking to each other? I laughed and laughed till I fell asleep.
I think my idiot sense of humor has rubbed off on that Virgo.

Sorry, I never did hear of a tunnel of fudge, but ... what can I
say ... made me laugh.

Laughter is good, whatever the reason! We all find humor in odd bits of
things. I know I do, and would probably be embarrassed to tell what some
of them are. :-)

Glad it gave you a laugh..
