Hot Cocoa on a Cold Morning

TG Incorporated decided to enter the grocery business. Brand recognition made the TG Inc. groceries an instant hit. The number of satisfied female customers from the transformations business also helped with brand loyalty.

Some people, like Carl, loved the new TG Inc. grocery stores for quality food and price. The weather forecast a frigid week ahead so Carl loaded up on groceries, especially hot cocoa. The store was packed so he did not get a chance to review his purchases closely. At least his pantry was full.

The next morning the thermometer showed twelve below. Carl heated a cup of water in the microwave and stirred in a packet of TG Inc’s hot cocoa. The hot, rich cocoa went down smooth, warming Carl from the inside out. Carl closed his eyes, enjoying the spreading warmth. Suddenly things felt strange. He opened his eyes to find dainty fingers holding the mug of cocoa.

Carl, okay, she prefers to be called Carla these days, smiled as she checked the cocoa package. There it was, a warning label. (Okay, it was small print.) The hot cocoa mix was a special blend fused with TG dust and nanobots. Inside the box was a picture of what you would look like after drinking the cocoa. Carla compared the picture with the face in the mirror. A perfect match.

For some reason Carla enjoys cold winter days now.
