The Power of Twitter

In 1908 Henry L. Brown and Jonathan Clifford Haley met in Brown’s confectionary store in Tacoma, WA. Haley just moved to The City of Destiny from some dead place in Ohio to strike it rich. In 1912 the two friends—Brown, the candymaker and Haley, the businessman—founded Brown & Haley, makers of fine candies. By 1923 the two men had developed and sold their flagship products, Almond Roca and Mountain Bars to the world.

Today, Brown & Haley is the third largest U.S. manufacturing wholesaler of boxed chocolates. Brown & Haley still maintains its headquarters in the former shoe factory they moved into in 1919, just off Highway 705.

Monday evenings Brown & Haley’s massive carmel engines and candy carburetors hit optimal RPMs.

October 5, 2009 at 6:27 PM, Albert posts this joke on Twitter before driving home from work:

If I were a clown I’d fill my ass with cake frosting before kiddie parties then fart it out because there’s nothing creepier than a clown.

At approximately 7:15 he merged onto Highway 705 from I-5 and farted. Man of action that he is, he anticipated the unpleasant scent and rolled down the driver-side window.

For a brief moment, Albert’s farts are made of carmel-scented magic gas.

This is the power of Twitter.
