potheads in NW DC rejoice
Evil has a new face in Washington: DCsnacks.com. Tell all your munchie-ridden friends about it and they'll be forever grateful. I was introduced to the fantastic service last week while we were watching Stargate:
Jimbo: "Gurl, I need some carbs. Do you have any carbs?"
Bubbles: "Well. Let's log on to DCsnacks-dot-com and get some!"
Jimbo: "WTF are you talking about? OMG carbs!"
They offer a $10 minimum delivery of snack food, basic pharmecuticals and all edible items of vice. So far they have a limited area of service, and don't start business until people are getting the munchies - around 8pm - but go on until 4am on the weekends. There is no reason to leave the house anymore.
The pictures of the products are the most evil part, because all you do is click on them and then they appear at your doorstep in about 30 minutes. We ordered greasy M&M cookies, insta-mac 'n cheese, and popcorn. A cute and friendly little emo chick showed up with our carbs on time and we tipped her well for her blessed service.
Gay abs are going to be devastated by DCsnacks.com.

OMG, it sounds like Kozmo, but maybe designed to make money at some point.
I loved Kozmo right up until it vanished in a puff of dot-com colored smoke.

I predict snaccidents all over town.

Didn't someone try a similar business venture in DC 4 or 5 years ago? Cosmo maybe? They didn't last long. Guess DC isn't carb-friendly enough.

Oh, Lord. I'm so glad we don't have that out here. My 3+ martini binges on BarnesAndNoble dot com are bad enough without junk food!

Kozmo did well in DC. They just tried to serve too many cities at once and imploded. I used them frequently. They were ideal in the blustery winter: firelogs, a DVD and some raisinettes. mmmmm mmmmm.
I hope DCsnacks delivers porn, lube and poppers. They would be very successful around here.

Damn...I can't even get a pizza delivered and I'm only 15 minutes from downtown. I guess it's time to move to a real city.

DCsnacks.com hates Columbia Heights.
