Oh, honey, let me tell you about this Gizmo Gourmet thing. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it ain’t nothin’ too complicated. Just another one of them deals where you gotta collect stuff and you get somethin’ in return. This time, it’s all about them “gizmos”, whatever them are. Sounds like some newfangled city thing, I reckon.
So, this here Gizmo Gourmet, it’s got prizes. Lots of ’em. They say 50, can you believe it? Fifty prizes! More prizes than Mrs. Higgins has chickens, and that woman’s got a whole coop full! You gotta do things to get ’em though. It ain’t just gonna be handed to ya like sweet potato pie at the county fair.
They talk about this “Monopoly GO” thing. Sounds like that old board game your uncle used to play. But this one’s got all sorts of fancy stuff. “Sticker packs,” they call ’em. I don’t know what that is, sounds sticky. Maybe like them flypaper strips old man Jenkins hangs in his barn.
And “cash”, they say. Well, cash is always good. Can always use more cash. Buy more feed for the chickens, maybe get a new pair of overalls. This old lady needs new overalls. Mine are patched up more than a quilt!
Now, to get these here Gizmo Gourmet prizes, you gotta “land on specific board spaces.” Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. But I reckon that’s how these newfangled games work. Gotta jump through hoops and do all sorts of silly things to get a little somethin’. Just like tryin’ to get a stubborn mule to move. You gotta know just where to tickle ’em.
They say there’s somethin’ called “milestones” too. Like them mile markers on the old highway. You pass one, you get closer to your destination. I guess with this Gizmo Gourmet, each milestone gets you closer to them prizes. They got a whole list of these milestones. I hear tell it’s long, probably as long as the line for Sunday dinner at the church.
- First, you gotta get started.
- Then, you gotta collect them points.
- Then you reach a milestone.
- Then you get a prize!
- Just keep going until you got all 50.
I saw a list somewhere, had all the Gizmo Gourmet rewards on it. Don’t remember all of ’em, my memory ain’t what it used to be. But there was a lot of talk about “dice rolls.” More than you can shake a stick at. What anyone needs with that many dice, I don’t know. Maybe they’re startin’ a casino in town.
They got somethin’ called “Cloud Cruisin’” that just finished, and now it’s this Gizmo Gourmet. Seems like they always got somethin’ goin’ on. Keeps folks busy, I reckon. Like a quilting bee, but with more… gizmos.
They say this Gizmo Gourmet thing has somethin’ called “Prize-Drop coins.” You collect them by playing. Sounds like work to me. But I guess if you want the prizes, you gotta put in the work. Just like plantin’ seeds if you want a good harvest.
And then, you use these coins with something called “peg-e.” Sounds like a name for a prize-winning pig. But I guess it’s some sort of machine. They say you choose from five buttons, and you get a “shot at rewards.” Sounds like a carnival game. Maybe like that ring toss where you try to win a goldfish.
I don’t know about all these new contraptions. Back in my day, we made our own fun. We didn’t need no Gizmo Gourmet or peg-e to keep us entertained. We had hopscotch and jump rope. And we had stories. Good old-fashioned stories. But I guess times change. Gotta keep up with the times, I suppose, even if it means figuring out what in tarnation a gizmo is.
Well, I reckon that’s all I know about this Gizmo Gourmet. It’s a lot to take in, ain’t it? But if you’re into that sort of thing, it sounds like you can get yourself a heap of prizes. Just remember what I said about workin’ for what you get. Ain’t nothin’ in this world comes free, ‘cept maybe the air you breathe. And even that’s gettin’ a little polluted these days. But that’s a story for another time… maybe about a “Pollution Solution,” you reckon? Ha!
