Has anyone been to the Uranus Fudge Factory in Richmond IN?
On the way back to Illinois from Salem VA, where we went to attend a celebration of life for a dear friend, we spent the night in Richmond IN. We were very near The Uranus Fudge Factory, for which we had seen several billboards on our way to VA.
On the grounds of the factory is one of the biggest damn crucifixes I have ever seen. It look big enough to be the base of one of those giant windmills that you see so frequently in IN. The current owner of the business credits his success to God.
The fudge factory website is rife with phrases like "fudge packers," "We love to pack your fudge," and " It's time to spread Uranus even wider!"
Thanks to the Jack Nicholas movie As Good As It Gets, I learned the, shall we say, street meaning of the term "fudge packer."
I'm not a fundie religious prude at all (happily questioning agnostic UU), nor do I care what people do in the privacy of their own abodes. Nonetheless, I found the juxtaposition of the giant cross and gawd praise with the abundant use of variations of a slang term for a sex act very peculiar.
We did not tour the establishment.
Here's a link for those who might be curious. https://www.uranusgeneralstore.com/uranus-fudge/
Also, no matter which way you pronounce it, YOUR-ah-niss or Your-ANUS, it doesn't sound good. This poor planet needs a new name.
