Tonight, Make It a Floofmann’s Night

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on October 5, 2009

For the special times—when only the best will do—reach for the hamster trusted by more families than any other: Floofmann’s Canned Ham.

DSC_0422

That’s because Floofmann’s chooses only the freshest, proshest hams, with 30 percent more ‘tocks,* picked at their peak of redonku-liciousness.

And now, so that you may savor the jaw-dropping cleverness:

amount_per_serving

* Do we even want to know how you got 30% more ‘tocks, Julie and Ron?

@Julie and Ron: ♥ ♥ ♥ THIS IS AWESOME ♥ ♥ ♥

2 Mary (the first). 10.05.09 at 2:27 pm

I can tell them how to get a heck of a lot more that 30% more ‘tocks…

3 Birdcage 10.05.09 at 2:27 pm

Lub.

4 Mary (the first). 10.05.09 at 2:27 pm

(that = than)

5 Theresa 10.05.09 at 2:27 pm

You’re gonna undo all the work you’ve done, pounding that Kashi Go-Lean.

6 Mocha 10.05.09 at 2:28 pm

I’d like to give that hammie a lot more than five kisses :)

7 skippymom 10.05.09 at 2:29 pm

OK, this is weird. I looked at these pictures, pretty thoroughly I thought, and giggled a little. Only when I looked at the pictures a second time did I notice the ham-head sticking out of the top of the can. I SWEAR it wasn’t there a minute ago!

8 MissKitty 10.05.09 at 2:30 pm

This is officially the bestest thing ever on CO. That is all.

9 mish 10.05.09 at 2:36 pm

zomg, brilliant! trans chub?? *dies*
*resurrects, sticks ham in mouf, dies again*

10 AmyJ 10.05.09 at 2:36 pm

My grocery store doesn’t carry this item. Where can I get some?? I must have!!!

11 Resriechan 10.05.09 at 2:42 pm

@ Mgmt: can I just pull in the occasional commission on Suggesting Tags, guys/gals?

–sigh.–

“Product Cuteness” Tag!!!!!!
.sigh.

12 SaraL 10.05.09 at 2:43 pm

This is the cutest canned good ever. Definitely going on my grocery list.

13 catloveschanel 10.05.09 at 2:50 pm

I’ll be … rhymes with canned ham

14 Emily 10.05.09 at 2:58 pm

That is JUST what I Needed to break the tedium of reading committee bylaws. So cute.

15 Brook Vanderford 10.05.09 at 3:01 pm

Just fixed my day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

16 Juniper Jupiter 10.05.09 at 3:03 pm

Awesome, but methinks somebody was kissing some…’tocks to get on to Cute Overload? :D

…Not that there’s anything wrong with that… just make sure which cheek it is before you do! :P

17 J. 10.05.09 at 3:05 pm

That is just BRILLIANT.

Just one question: Where are the green eggs?

18 Chilliepie 10.05.09 at 3:10 pm

omg, that is just so redonklously cute! how do u make can labels like that??!!! and just 4 the record, i do not wanna know how they got that % either!

19 Patito Gigante 10.05.09 at 3:10 pm

You said “chub” again.

20 Chilliepie 10.05.09 at 3:10 pm

omg, that is just so redonklously cute! how do u make can labels like that??!!! and just for the record, i do not wanna know how they got that % either!

21 Juno 10.05.09 at 3:13 pm

Just . . . WOW.

22 Gigi 10.05.09 at 3:15 pm

@ skippymom Ditto, the little head was NOT there the first time I looked at the picture. Then I went back and the cheeky little fellow was there! I think he’s playing Peek-a-Boo with our brains.

23 victoreia 10.05.09 at 3:19 pm

Is there a way to special order this? ‘Cuz I know none of my local grocery stores will carry it…..

24 kazsa 10.05.09 at 3:19 pm

OMG that is pure genius! I’ll take five cans please.

25 Resriechan 10.05.09 at 3:24 pm

@ Ed’s
(Please read in corny version of Elvis Presley voice):

“Thankyewverrmuch” !! ;)

26 MsBunky 10.05.09 at 3:31 pm

I’m taking this to my local Safeway and demanding they start stocking Floofmans Canned Ham! How did I ever live without it??!!

27 Rooanne 10.05.09 at 3:36 pm

Noooooo!….. this will give people ideas about putting hamsters in cans and then eating them!!!!
JUST KIDDING. Couldn’t help myself.

So clever. The lengths some people go to to get on CO. Hmmmm, I wonder where I can can find a rabbit-sized can?

28 Rooanne 10.05.09 at 3:37 pm

Did I just say “can can”?

29 Theo 10.05.09 at 3:39 pm

Why not, Rooanne? The Can-Can CAN!

30 the bug man 10.05.09 at 3:40 pm

@Rooanne: cue the Offenbach music.

31 earlybird1 10.05.09 at 3:46 pm

AHHHAHAHAHA! Just what I needed after the LONGEST Monday ever. My students were a handful today!! Needed some ham! :D

32 Theo 10.05.09 at 3:52 pm

I think maybe I’ll watch Moulin Rouge tonight. Except I don’t have absinthe.

33 marmar 10.05.09 at 3:57 pm

I’m with Mish – trans chub? omg

34 sunnymum 10.05.09 at 3:57 pm

Bring out the Floofmans and bring out the best! Sing ala Hellmans mayo commercial. This is completely adorable and redonk. And I know a Julie and Ron… will have to check and see if they are the cute culprits. :)

35 Saffron 10.05.09 at 4:00 pm

I wonder how many Weight Watchers’ points a serving of Floofman’s is…..

36 Biscuit Tin 10.05.09 at 4:08 pm

30% more ‘tocks… I have that, myself. Not so fun, ackshually.

37 Berg 10.05.09 at 4:13 pm

Too funny! I love it, and I love the fact that one must look carefully to spy the little hammie nose in the first picture.

@ Biscuit Tin: I know what you’re saying. I would like to have 30% less in the way of ‘tocks meself.

38 Lizzy 10.05.09 at 4:21 pm

“Your daily values may be higher or lower depending on your cuteness needs.”

I DEFINITELY have a high need for cute. And this hammy is adorabuhls!

39 nismo 10.05.09 at 4:24 pm

In one can is 400% DV of cute. That’s cute overload.

40 astatine 10.05.09 at 4:30 pm

poifect.

41 temperance 10.05.09 at 4:32 pm

does that say; ‘quick and easy directions. mix ham + 5 kisses. enjoy!’ ?!?!

[Right you are! -- Mike]

42 Resriechan 10.05.09 at 4:35 pm

@ temperance:

AAAA-YUP !! it do, indeed. I read that through, thoroughly, about an hour ago & enjoyed it too !!

43 Chinchillazilla 10.05.09 at 4:45 pm

I have definitely not gotten enough chub in my diet lately.

44 Mary (the first). 10.05.09 at 4:51 pm

@SKippymom, I also did not see the hammie in the top pic. the first time I looked. I scrolled back up and there he was. I think the ed.’s are doing something nefarious.

45 Patito Gigante 10.05.09 at 4:58 pm

Say no more, say no more, Chinchillazilla.

46 Jen 10.05.09 at 5:00 pm

This definitely was the perfect post to see at the end of a long day!

47 Queen of Dork 10.05.09 at 5:05 pm

I agree with Biscuit Tin and Berg on the ‘tocks thing. However, I bet this product would make a lovely casserole.

48 mrowbecca 10.05.09 at 5:07 pm

absolutely brilliant! This is totally going to end up on a card for my husband. Maybe from one of the cats.*

*we’re not crazy, really

49 Queen of Dork 10.05.09 at 5:11 pm

mrowbecca: Not crazy. My child and I pretend our cat goes to school and make “report cards” for him. He goes to Kitty Cat Academy for boys and girls. (Home of the Razor Claws!!!!)

50 shaz 10.05.09 at 5:15 pm

nice, and also very good graphic design!

51 ffleur 10.05.09 at 5:19 pm

I’m so glad there is no trans-chub. I’ve been trying to cut down.

For extra spice, add hamapeño

52 blair 10.05.09 at 5:20 pm

it looks very cutritious

53 Koala 10.05.09 at 5:31 pm

Teh creative qtes!!!! I luffs dem!

What an awesome idea : )

54 Rooanne 10.05.09 at 5:39 pm

I am so glad it was approved by “Fuzzy Darling Animals”. Makes me feel better about all that chub, and gaining extra ‘tocks. Wow -and I will be getting 160% of my daily cute requirements? From just one can of ham?? What a deal. But I think really my daily cute requirements are higher…..

55 jenna 10.05.09 at 5:49 pm

totally awesome

56 Kar 10.05.09 at 5:54 pm

I SERIOUSLY have high cuteness needs. Is there a support group?

Oh wait, this IS the support group. Kind of an enabling group, but still supportive.

57 260Oakley 10.05.09 at 5:54 pm

Add brown sugar and mini marshmallows et voila! Candied Hams

58 JinxtheCat 10.05.09 at 6:03 pm

This is soooo cute. But what is “Amount per Seving?” LOL

[I'm sure I have no ideas as to what you might be referring. ;) - Ed.]

59 Roisin 10.05.09 at 6:14 pm

Not to be a nuffer but I don’t actually see any tocks. I mean if the label and the ad are tocking about this product having 110% of my daily tock needs, I espect to see tocks damn it. Maybe they have the cheek to give me thigh and tell me it’s a tock. The maker may be thinking that parts is parts.
What if the company was not financially sound and in arrears. I mean I have been a little behind in the past. I can seat that fundamental problem if this were the tail.

Maybe, in the end, I should ass myself why I am so worried over a small amount of keister. I shouldn’t be all bummed about it. I guess the bottom line is that I just want to see some cute little buns.

60 Theo 10.05.09 at 6:22 pm

61 lauraewaddell 10.05.09 at 6:23 pm

Hooray for this little guy, what a cutiepie!

62 buffy 10.05.09 at 6:29 pm

Does anyone remember the 4-chan kitteh song lyric? you know enter sandman. well if i can do one my friend will give me a puppeh so lets do one via comments! i will let you choose the song. so, let her rip!

[There ain't a lot of 4Chan crossover here, Slayer ;) - Ed.]

63 buffy 10.05.09 at 6:30 pm

i don’t have a website! what happened?

[I think you might've typed/pasted something into the "URL" box accidentally - Ed.]

64 Blondie 10.05.09 at 6:41 pm

That’ll be canned SHAME if your father catches you in there!

65 chanpon 10.05.09 at 7:01 pm

Remy, no! Not in the food!!

66 Jodi 10.05.09 at 7:40 pm

Thank goodness you have way too much time on your hands. So now we all benefit from your boredom and have the opportunity to enjoy just about the cutest and funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. You should get paid for this!

67 Alyssa Myers 10.05.09 at 7:41 pm

The little guy came to life from the packaging! Sweetums!

68 Paunchie 10.05.09 at 7:42 pm

HAHAHAHAHA! I loved that. That’s all I have to say!

69 Becky 10.05.09 at 7:50 pm

Absolutely adorable! Nice execution – I love it :)

70 Theresa 10.05.09 at 8:10 pm

@BugMan, I was thinking the Pointer Sisters.

71 Samantha 10.05.09 at 8:26 pm

The best way to get all my daily ‘tocks required… and more!

72 kibblenibble 10.05.09 at 8:43 pm

Julie and Ron, this is awesome!

[Whoa, deja vu :| - Ed.]

73 kibblenibble 10.05.09 at 8:44 pm

Oh, and it IS important to get our daily requirement of tocks, ’cause it’s Tocktober!
Love eet!

74 tember 10.05.09 at 8:47 pm

Hamtastic! and roison, that was totally the assin’ on the cake, as we say in the Souf.

75 Noelegy 10.05.09 at 9:14 pm

30% more ‘tocks? I could do with that. I have often wished I could transplant my belly chub to my ‘tocks.

76 AuntieMame 10.05.09 at 10:01 pm

Roisin:

“I wonder if they’ll ever get to the bottom of it?”

“Oh, I expect they will in the end.”

77 SoCalSis 10.05.09 at 10:10 pm

Roisin, Love it!!!! Winner: Most puns per pica (no, wait, that’s a different posting)

78 Subhangi 10.05.09 at 10:38 pm

ZOMG! BEST. CO. POST. EVAR!!!!

Julie & Ron, you totally & completely rock.

79 Hon Glad 10.06.09 at 12:04 am

May not be used as part of a calorie controlled diet.

80 berthaservant 10.06.09 at 12:26 am

On the one hand, I want to say someone’s trying too hard to get on CO.

But on all my other hands and paws, this is just PERFECT!!!!

81 wannadance 10.06.09 at 12:40 am

FLOOFMAN’S !

nomtom, ah luv yew
nomtom, ah dew
pleez say yew luv me
or ah will jes’ plotz.

82 Huskyteer 10.06.09 at 3:29 am

Sheer brilliance. Is that label available to download??

83 Vanessa 10.06.09 at 4:25 am

This was very witty. :D

84 Gail (the first one) 10.06.09 at 4:27 am

@Queen of Dork: LOVE the Kitty Cat Academy and their team, the Razor Claws! Do they grade them on naps? I think mine would excel in that subject—they’ve got the frequency and duration!!!

85 Von Zeppelin 10.06.09 at 5:03 am

Hmmm. 110% of the Recommended Daily Allowance of ‘tocks. My doctor has suggested that I try to add more ‘tocks to my diet, so I get a little extra by opening up a can of whoopass.

86 Rachael 10.06.09 at 5:41 am

Queen of Dork: Love it!!! I need to start making report cards for my two dogs. I’ll threaten to make them go to summer school if they don’t start bringing home better grades. Yeah, that’ll work. :roll:

Suddenly I have a craving for a Croque Monsieur… a really, really adorable Croque Monsieur. :D

87 ceejoe 10.06.09 at 5:41 am

only 5 kisses???? would it spoil the recipe if I gave it more than 5? like maybe a bazillion???

88 T.U.M. 10.06.09 at 5:55 am

It’s a MASTERPIECE! A MASTERPIECE, I tells ya!

*claps, whistles, stands on chair*

89 Katiedid 10.06.09 at 5:55 am

I can’t eat that!! all the tocks will go straight to my tocks!

90 Kristen 10.06.09 at 6:24 am

The bestest post ever! Do it again in another flavor!

91 Katrina 10.06.09 at 6:39 am

“Not to be used as infant formula”

92 Happycat 10.06.09 at 6:42 am

All y’all are the finest, most creative and silliest electronicly-met peeps I have ever met…just when it can get no more redonkulous, it does! You so enliven my narrow cubicle world with sheer joy that I am inspired to do more, be more…even if it seems bizarro to the rest of the dreary grey world I move in. Thank you all for sharing!
p.s. Numba 59 fer the WIN!

93 Rachael 10.06.09 at 6:48 am

Yeah, well Roisin cheats by being so clever and witty. Not fair! :D

94 Holly 10.06.09 at 7:08 am

This is *awesome.* I love it!

95 Bada 10.06.09 at 7:37 am

Xtra ‘tocks! Deleeshious!

96 Claire 10.06.09 at 7:39 am

Hum, yes we CAN?

97 BeckyMonster 10.06.09 at 7:46 am

Let’s vote (like a stoat)

I motion to have Julie & Ron create an entire line of Qtewares and Foodstuffs. Powdered Kittens (reconstitute in blender). Freeze-dried Puppy Breath. Etc…

Would someone like to second the motion?

98 Lerrinus 10.06.09 at 8:00 am

*groans* @ Roisin, Auntie Mame and Von Zep, you people are amazing! :-D

99 Becky, Bubba's mum 10.06.09 at 8:09 am

Julie and Ron:

I don’t know how you did it, but your adorable can and even more prosh hammie just made my day! 30% more tocks indeed. Love it, perhaps the post of the year.

100 The Dutchess of Cupcake 10.06.09 at 9:11 am

@Becky, Bubba’s mum: “Your adorable can”…..ha ha ha….sorry, just couldn’t help myself.

As a tock-sumer, I would definitely like to see more tocks around here, it being Tocktober and all. Bring on the tocks!

This ham will come in handy for my Hammie Helper for dinner tonight.

101 kodalai 10.06.09 at 9:45 am

Hahaha, at first I thought the cuteness was just a ham in a can. Then I read a little bit closer….

102 Bryn 10.06.09 at 10:03 am

I’ma haf to open a second can. My daily cuteness needs are quite high.

103 GreyandWhite Kitten 10.06.09 at 1:24 pm

I think someone’s got a business going now. It’s crazy cute. I really like the creativity and adorableness.

104 a'nay'amous 10.06.09 at 2:29 pm

Hats off to Julie and Ron. Every once in a while something makes me laugh out lioud in my cube world and say OMG! This is one. Can’t wait for the next additions to the ‘product cuteness rule’ love you all for the laughs and I’m with wannadance… still in love with the Mike (the other Mike) NOM!

105 Sweeda 10.06.09 at 5:22 pm

I want one of those cans! I have plain old FRESH ham! I want CANNED HAM, now!! lol

106 Queen of Dork 10.06.09 at 5:30 pm

This is fun to catch up after work! Gail (the first one). Yes KCA does grade on naps. My cat got an A+++ for Sphynx Posturing due to “excellent extension of front legs.” However, he did rather badly in table manners because he tends to drink his water with his paw causing him to get grit in the water, skootch the bowl all over the place and slosh water on the floor :(

107 Risha 10.06.09 at 7:46 pm

I’m… I’m a little concerned that there’s apparently an extra half ham in the can. :(

108 kittyadventures 10.06.09 at 8:29 pm

@ Risha Really there are just 2 hams in the can those labels always over inflate the amount in the can! I think they count the juice!

109 Jessy 10.06.09 at 8:49 pm

Too, too precious!

110 Dave T 10.06.09 at 9:35 pm

You, sir or maam, are a total f*ing genius. Every tiny little detail is perfect. I like the simple preparation instructions. I don’t like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

111 Michael Claymore 10.07.09 at 1:06 am

Heh Heh, very clever stuff.

112 Redbone 10.07.09 at 11:04 am

That first pic in the series took a moment to register in my brain. And when it hit, I laughed way too hard at that. I love the little beady eyes peeking out the top of the can.

113 Barb 10.07.09 at 12:54 pm

Sometimes people can be just way too clever for words & All-times hamsters are just way too cuuuuuuuuuuute.

Loved this. :-)

114 Zoe D 10.08.09 at 1:02 pm

I have to nuff. Don’t you people KNOW about the hormones these hams are forced to ingest just so that we selfish humans can enjoy canned ham with 30% more ‘tocks? Frankly, I’m appalled by this display. Free the hams!

[No no, these are free-range 'tocks. Honest, I looked 'em up. The trick is, they swap all the exercise wheels for XBoxes & beanbags. Shhhh. - Ed.]

115 decoracorn 10.09.09 at 1:22 pm

I know this is wrong. But it just feels SO RIGHT.
