Remember these Moshi Monster sweets? The ones with the questions on the packet without answers?
I thought they were some sort of existential pathway to another plane of knowledge, designed to make us question our very existence in the universe.
But I was mistaken. Some Gobble Monkey fans* got in touch to tell me the answers are actually on the packets.
I said: "NO YOU ARE STUPID THEY AREN'T I CHECKED CAREFULLY"
They said: "No they definitely are, look under the flaps."
I said: "NONSENSE I TRIED THAT THE FLAPS DON'T LIFT UP"
They said: "Yes they definitely do, I've got a packet here and I'm looking at the answers."
I said: "GET OUT OF MY GARDEN."
OK listen, in my defence, the plastic flap on the packet is stuck down FAST. And, when you finally manage to peel it open, the note that says "Answers under flap" IS UNDER THE FLAP. Look:
What kind of child could ever decipher that cruel, cruel riddle?
Anyway, now we finally have access to the answers, so prepare for your mind to be blown and the secrets of the universe to open up to you like a buttercup on a sunny day. OR to literally laugh your face off at some of the finest jokes ever written. READY?
HERE WE GO:
What's hairy and coughs?
Iggy with a cold!
(We can assume Iggy is some sort of furry animal, possibly that sinister-faced rabbit there)
What do you get if you cross Flumpy with a dozen eggs?
A very hairy omelette!
(We can assume Flumpy is some sort of furry animal - quite likely that smug-faced rabbit there.)
What does Waldo eat for dinner?
Micro-Chips!
(We can assume Waldo is some sort of evil robot.)
So the answers to life, the universe and everything are as follows: Iggy with a cold, a VERY hairy omlette and micro-chips. Feel enlightened?
Sadly Moshi Monsters are NOT some sort hippy candy trying to mind-wash the innocent brains of small children. THEY WERE JUST BORING ASSORTED FRUIT FLAVOURED GUMS AFTER ALL.
Hope that clears that up.
*may or may not have been fans.

IGGY's this purple spiky thing, Flumpy's this white spiky thing (this time with limbs) and the rabbit's Honey. Apparently, Waldo's a tabby cat, but looks more like a squirrel.
