I don't usually associate the word "cold" with comfort. Or, actually, chocolate. I have no idea what this has to do with the snapples in this case. Thanks, Kate.
I'd say they're offering cold comfort, as in "quite limited sympathy, consolation, or encouragement" (see Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary), except in that case the quotations would go around "comfort" . . . I think.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I think they mean chocolate that will make you feel better when you have a cold.
maybe they mean frozen; i love me my dark chocolate straight out of the freezer.
