TIDBITS
1) Gasoline is incredibly popular. Every single day, millions and millions pull to the gas pump to fill up their cars.
2) Pumpkin Milkshakes rival gasoline in popularity. In fact, there remains a colossal, untapped thirst across the width and breadth of this great land this soothing beverage.
3) Indeed, Pumpkin Heaven(tm) has been monitory this pent up demand, merely waiting for sufficient capital to grow.
4) And for many years now, Tiny Rhombus Oil(tm) has waited impatiently to expand, to take its place along the big boys, aka the Boys of Gas. So it was inevitable that the two companies would merge.
5) As Tiny Rhombus Oil’s CEO, Carl La Fong said, “We’re proud to announce the inclusion of Pumpkin Heaven’s pumpkin milkshake to our gas pumps. Yes, we’re now able to service your motoring and dessert beverage needs. And oh, don’t worry, gas and pumpkin milkshake will have their own separate nozzles. Thank you.
