DAILY 3
300 WORDS
Are you thirsty? Are you craving something that’ll fill you up with joy? Well, try a fake plant smoothie! These smoothies have a plastic kick that’ll get you moving, and an added boost of protein from fake moss! You get fresh oxygen from chunks of a wood vase, with delicate notes of white paint. Want to see how these artisanal smoothies are made? Here! First, we chop our wood vase that was pre seasoned with white paint to a fine crumb, to act as oats. Set aside. Chop spinach, avocado, and your fake plant loosely. Pulse the fake moss in the blender till powder like, to create protein powder with double the protein. Take fake soil and mix with milk, creating a scrumptious chocolate milk replacement. Place this all in a blender with ice cubes and a chocolate biscuit. Blend. Add more soil milk until your desired texture is achieved. Mmm, yum! This treat is by far more delicious than a chocolate mud cake! Me and my colleagues took 5 minutes to perfect this recipe. 60 percent of the population of a made up world in my dreams loves this recipe. A few side effects are fever, bad digestion, and stomach aches, but that doesn’t matter because this smoothie is so fantabulous that it only has 56 grams of sugar! That is less than a gigantic bag of sugar! I know, such an achievement. Of course, we are having a sale, so buy quickly! We only have 3000000 left! We’ve already sold fifteen! Get a smoothie and read a book, it is worth it. We’ve spent so long on this, it is most definitely worth it! You saw how wonderful these smoothies are, get one and sip away! I already told you that you will not regret this! Bye Bye!

Scratch Writing Camp is ultimately about reaching your word goal and having fun with other people for me. Half of my friends are from Scratch Writing Camp, and I have probably written 100,000 words per every 3 sessions. It feels like a little tight knit community that anyone is welcome into, and I love it so much. The dailies and weeklies remind me to write something fun or do something fun, and Scratch Writing Camp has actually improved my grades, surprisingly. I’ve learned a lot of useful things from it. I really would like to win the writing competition, but I never have even though I’ve been here for five sessions. I, like everyone else here, would like to think I am a good writer. Against some people though, I feel like there’s no chance of me winning. But, every session I try my best in the writing competition, and I can feel myself improving, so of course, I’ll enter this session and see how it turns out. I think a lot of people know me from Scratch Writing Camp, but I’d like to be a co leader or a leader because one of my biggest dreams is to contribute to a cabin on a co leader or leader status. I have applied for co leader 2 times, and have got in once. I absolutely loved co-leading and I would enjoy doing it again. I love SWC and the experiences I’ve had from it.

Hi! My name’s Jojo! I would love if you could check out some of my newest projects!

psst! want to read my writing? all my writing links are here

Object: rubber halloween mask :’)

324 words

Introducing the Skull Smoothie! A smoothie with an added blended rubber mask! Worried about the added rubber flavor? Worry no more! This is special rubber that has been professionally tested by experts and has had amazing results. These experts reported the rubber tasting flawless and there has been no reports of food poisoning after waiting a few days.
If you’re trying it for the first time, feel free to have a free tiny sample first that totally isn’t a completely different smoothie than what you’re buying!
This smoothie has five-star reviews from users that totally aren’t bots who know nothing about this smoothie!
It’s a perfect treat to have at any time of day.
Fun fact! The rubber came from a Halloween skeleton skull mask, which is where the name Skull Smoothie came from!
This is available in any store you go to except small businesses.
The flavor of rubber is a burst of spice and flavor, something unexplainable in words that can only be described as “strong, spicy, popping, flavorful, and delicious” (a review by someone who’s totally tried this and totally wasn’t given a script)
If your smoothie is a weird brown color, you may get a refund, the colors supposed to be red. But also, it means there’s more rubber in your smoothie! Maybe give it a sip first and see what you think!
And remember, if you get food poisoning from this smoothie it’s not our fault, it’s yours for deciding to buy from a shady company! So you can’t sue us!
And this is only if you even get food poisoning—totally impossible! totally never happened to any of our customers.
Also, if you get 10 smoothies all in one day you’ll get 1% off your next purchase! This deal is only available once, unless you buy 100 in one day. Which we strongly recommend! They don’t even cost much, only $45.00 a smoothie! This is not overpricing!

How to figure out a topic to write about for today's daily (or just writing in general lol) - A guide for new SWC-ians complete with 3 steps because I don't know what to write about!

1 - Find an idea. For some topics, an idea may come quickly. I bet that for those who've done SWC before, this part was very easy. However, for many first-time SWCers, finding a topic that hasn't been used a million times already may come as a challenge. My advice is to take inspiration from other Scratchers, coming up with your own topic based on tiny bits from their writing that they didn't elaborate on.

2 - Research your idea. This might not be needed if you were in SWC last session, or the session before that, but for first time SWC-ers, elaboration is key. It is worth being noted that for some topics, like real life being a priority over SWC, you don't need to research for, but if you're looking at why mangoes are a SWC mascot, it is wise to research before you start writing. A few ways are to look at the existent threads and seeing what you can use without technically stealing work, and you can also look at the threads and destroyed cabins from previous years for more information.

3 - Write. This one is obvious. Organize your information into nice, neat paragraphs, and hope you have 200 words of information.

That's all for today! 239 words and 100 points for dystopian

November 3 MC Daily

Pillow smoothies are likely to be one of the less commonly known smoothies that the general public knows of. Mango smoothies have a fresh, tropical flavor, pineapple smoothies have a kick to them, and strawberry smoothies have a sweet, familiar taste. But pillow smoothies, the wonderful refreshers they are, are more like eating a cloud. Perhaps one would imagine a cloud tasting like cotton candy—(and there is often flavored cotton itself in our smoothies) but pillow smoothies can come in a variety of flavors, depending on the filling of the pillow. Take the small red pillow subvariety, for example. The cottony fluff of the pillow is emptied and put into the blender along with the pillow cover (to add some fresh pillow chunks) and zipper (for that little satisfying crunchy surprise!). Once blended, the smoothie is the pinnacle of fluffiness, creaminess, and overall deliciousness. The darker the pillow color, the richer the smoothie. For our small red pillow, a darker shade, it makes a smoothie a lovely bloodred, with a sweet, velvet-like flavor. Natural oils, fiber, and protein (derived from the pillow dyes) are also included with all our pillow smoothies for texture and health benefits. (No need to ask why!) In all our pillow smoothies, there remains some pulp at the bottom, which you can slurp up and chew, similar to jelly (unless requested otherwise)! There are several different types to choose from, depending on the type of pillow you select for your smoothie. Some of our pulps include feather pulp, cotton pulp, memory foam pulp, etc. Feel free to ask about our selection.

Some side effects may include drowsiness, yawning, and the sudden urge to snuggle up somewhere cozy and fall asleep (vivid dreams of fruits and pillows have also been known to occur). Please refrain from doing so in the store, as it is not the best public environment to sleep in, and chairs will need to be vacated for other customers drinking our other smoothies. If you suddenly feel drowsy, one of our staff members will kindly escort you out the door. Additionally, please be aware of a choking hazard as younger children and seniors may accidentally swallow the zipper whole before chewing it first. Refer to our poster on the Heimlich maneuver if such a scenario should happen.

Script daily for Nov. 2!

The Scissor Smoothie

Ah yes, smoothies. Who doesn’t like them? A fruit and vegetable mixture blended to perfection. You can even add your own ingredients, like yogurt and cinnamon! There are endless possibilities, whether it’s something like a strawberry mango smoothie or a kale smoothie. However, have you tried a SCISSORS smoothie? I think not! Hear me out first, I know that it sounds preposterous to drink a smoothie made of scissors, but trust me, there are benefits!

First of all, scissor smoothies help with wasting. You can find them anywhere, like a stationary store or Walgreens. After a few months or years of wear-and-tear, you can’t sharpen them anymore. What do you do with it? Do you throw it in the garbage? NO! Instead of wasting precious materials, you can blend it up into a very delicious smoothie! Nobody will notice.

Next, scissors are very healthy. I mean, look at all the vitamins inside! According to many sources, such as Harvard.edu and Henryford.com, metals like calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, sodium, zinc, and potassium are good for your help, I mean health! People might say that scissors are dangerous and can’t be blended up, but that’s what the ‘pulse’ option on your blender is for. After a few years of blending, the scissors will be beaten into a fine paste, perfect for smoothies and your longtime health.

People might disagree that scissors are not very tasty, but they have no evidence to back that up. I mean, has anyone even eaten scissors before? Any decent person wouldn’t. Scissors could actually be really good! Have you tried the combinations? My favorite is combining it with paper. Speaking of paper, have you played rock paper scissors before? We all know that scissors beats paper, so therefore scissors are a much better ingredient in smoothies.

In conclusion, you should definitely give scissor smoothies a try. I mean, look at all the waste and health problems it would increase reduce! They can be tried with many other ingredients with very tasty results. Many scissors have worked, especially the ‘stainless steel’ type. Order one today at www.scissorsmoothie.com. Special discount: 3 for $5!

(please note that this is a joke and that scissors are very dangerous in smoothies)


Daily for November 3! Can you guess what song this is? lol

The dull, bleak city was crumbling. The buildings were breaking down, the citizens were morose, and there were no animals to be seen. People trudged down the dark road, hoping to seek solace in a miserable cup of coffee. The faint pitter-patter of rain on the umbrellas and pavement was heard all around the town. ‘Father. The sky is dark.’ complained a small kid to his dad as they walked in a wilted park.

The next day, a miracle happened. The storm clouds that covered the city receded. In its place was a bright, shining sun. Citizens ran out of their houses, wide-eyed and thinking the impossible. Shouts like ‘The gloomy rain is gone, don’t you know? It’s another day!’ were heard all around the city square. The sun was shining at the plaza with love. Guess what? The blue sky is still alive!

Positivity spread around like wildfire. Rumors were going around that the mayor said ‘Hello, you guys are beautiful! Thanks guys!’ in a speech regarding the end of the clouds’ reign. Cafés reopened. The postman had to deliver hundreds of letters. Couples holding hands walked in parks. The plants were told where their ‘big dog’ that the clouds had hid for a long time was.

‘Professor Knight, why is the sky blue?’ a bunch of youngsters questioned. ‘He is the king of all!’ He answered, and everybody burst into laughter. He let his hand rest lovingly on their shoulders.

Today is the day we have been waiting for.

This is my memory of you. I am forever grateful to you.

Every person has their own unique taste buds in their own unique mouth — but do you know what makes the BEST smoothie? Why, it's even a very simple — popular at that — household item. You can do a lot in it, you'd be surprised. I'll save the hints for later then. Now, what's the first ingredient, you ask? Here's your little hint (warning! It's small!): one of the letters is “o”. Still can't guess it? I'll take pity then.
a journal. So simple, yet so powerful. On to the recipe!

Ingredients:
- a plain or decorated journal. The only restriction is that you haven't done anything in it; absolutely no drawing, writing, or anything else.
- one cup of plain white greek yogurt. It'll add your spice to the story, guaranteed.
- fresh, LOCAL honey. For a dash of nostalgia and youth.
- any other toppings, such as nuts or raisins. They'll be the ones adding the twists and turns.

It has been scientifically proven that these smoothies help make your life just the way you want — after all, you decide what to add! It's also been proven (check the video out, it's cool!) that these “Journal Smoothies” help improve your IQ (as well as your EQ in some cases) as they grow your vocabulary and analyzing skill levels. Soon you'll be impressing your parents by writing college prize-winning papers, assured! Now, how would you actually MAKE the smoothies?

Instructions:
1) Grab your journal, we need it! Use a heavy duty paper-shredder and cut up the book, cover and all. Now you have your base!
2) Put the mixture in the PYTER Blender. Add half of any extra toppings, if wanted.
3) Blend for five minutes. Then stop and put the yogurt in. Blend for another two minutes!
4) Put in a plate, add the rest 1/2 of toppings as well as the honey. Serve it up and YOU ARE DONE!


((please remember that it can take time for these smoothies to work; for best results, take one smoothie every three days along with a healthy and delicious breakfast.))

Are you thirsty? Then you should try the Creamy Book Smoothie.
It's filled with books from everywhere around the world. For example, you feel like you are inside the book. It has a delightful creamy taste that's waiting for you to try. I know that seems challenging to understand but when you try it you'll be mindblown about how much flavor there is. It's also very healthy, you won't believe what I have to say! It has mangoes and bananas with plenty of enjoyable whipped cream. The best part is how much energy you get, it fills you up for the whole day and you even get protein and vitamins. Here are some of the ingredients: Mangoes, milk, bananas, whipped cream, 5 different kinds of books, protein, blueberries, strawberries, spinach, peach, a leaf, flower, or branch from the tallest tree in the world, and a hawk's feather. The last two ingredients are only for advanced explorers to find. They are extremely dangerous to get because who knows what is going to happen at the end of the day. Also, the last boy who tried to make it got pulled into a bush. So, be meticulous if you want to try making this special smoothie. Moving on, this smoothie can also help you go to bed and make you constipated when going to the bathroom. Make sure that you don't drink too much because it may cause dizziness and dreadful sickness. It also may cause lots of puking. So, watch how much you drink because I don't want to get into trouble. Do not certainly be afraid and be absurd like the other people. If, you have listened to my rules then very good. You won't end up getting cursed or getting pulled into a bush unless you never even listen.

Dear Fiona,
How is life going for you at the Steampunk Sanctuary? Your cabin looks so cool and whimsical! Be sure to send me pictures! I hope you're having fun exploring the realm and making cool inventions. Right now, I'm swamped with orders in the breadhouse's kitchen, but I had time to make an extra loaf of banana bread for you! Unfortunately, it has no magical qualities, but it does have lots of cinnamon! You can share it with your animal companion, or have it as a snack while you're tinkering with your inventions, or use it as an extra energy boost for your writing. Enjoy!

But seriously, be sure to escape quickly, and don't trust any of the movie characters. I know you're not supposed to bring outside food into a cinema, but I recently baked some bagels and disguised them as movie DVDs so I could sneak them inside for you. I hope these help you stay motivated while you're finding your way out of the Bi-Fi Cinema!

Good luck helping the ghost get his powers back. I know I would be super creeped out if I was chosen to help a ghost! Since your cabin is Naan-Fi's ally, I wanted to send you something to help you. I've attached this letter to a box of croissants. Hopefully they can aid you on your journey fulfilling the ghost's orders and motivate you to write more words. Maybe you can even give some croissants to your ghost boss. Do ghosts like croissants? I'm quite sure almost everyone, living or dead, likes croissants. Anyway, enjoy your time in the Horror cabin!

November 3 - The Lego Smoothie

It's been a long day of school, you've taken three different quizzes and you've had to start yet another project in your science class! And then, right after school you had to go to your sports meeting and then practiced for the geography quiz on Friday. To say the least, you are exhausted. And that very reason is why you need…

The Lego Smoothie*

The Lego smoothie, is a delicious, nutritious, color-changing, one-of-a-kind smoothie, unlike anything you've ever had! It's the perfect amount of chunky and smooth with scratches on your tongue that you will never forget!

It has a magnificent color-changing effect that never turns pukey colors that other smoothies do. Instead of mud brown and barf tan, the colors range from a vibrant red to the softest sky blue to the golden accents of the Lego set blended! In addition, the Lego smoothie has considerable nutritional values! It reduces headaches by 0.008 percent and increases muscle activity in people 129 years or older!

Also, along with its many other stunning features, the Lego smoothie has a crunchy texture, unlike any other smoothie you can get. It's tastelessness and odorlessness is so on brand with the extreme crunch, in fact, that many people's last words include “That darn Lego smoothie!”

If that doesn't convince you enough, a celebrity was interviewed about the Lego smoothie! They wish to remain anonymous, but trust us, it was someone very famous! Their exact words were, “It's awful but at least it's mostly painless!”

And so, no matter your age, the Lego smoothie will be absolutely perfect for you! Sold wherever smoothies are sold!

Short story - 1,250 words

———————
(This is a bad story so I’m sorry but at least i got words out of it)

I stared at the mirror before I stepped out of my room. Somehow I could always find something wrong with me. My hair looked too messy. My eyes were too tired. I was too skinny. I was too short. I sighed and pushed the thoughts out of my head, forcing myself to ignore it. I hurried downstairs and swung my backpack onto my shoulders. “Bye Dad,” I smiled and stepped outside into the chilly November air. It was dark as I trudged along the sidewalk, with earbuds in, listening to music, and thinking about what school would be like today. Which reminded me of the ten million missing assignments I had. I groaned. My teachers would probably have to talk to me after class for the hundredth time, and I would feel bad. I wish I wasn’t so, well, not in the mood for anything. My social studies teacher doesn’t know anything about how hard it is to focus on a stupid history lesson. I have things to think about and things to look at and people to talk to.
It was just hard to focus. I found myself doodling on my paper assignments while my teacher explained the essential things that we needed to be listening to that he wouldn’t explain again. And then I’d look up, realize I’d missed something because everyone else was doing something and everyone else knew what they were doing.
Well, I got distracted again. I looked up to realize I’d literally passed my bus stop while I was thinking. I’m one of the few people at my stop, and I’m usually the first one there, so it’s not like there’s other people to notice while walking. I turned around in embarrassment.
On the bus now, I went on my phone and texted my friends and played games until we arrived and then I wasn’t allowed to use this small device for 8 more hours.
“Jordan, remember to turn in your essay that was due a couple days ago, if you can’t finish it by the end of this week, I’m grading it by the way it is, unfinished or not,” Mrs. Miller said in a loud voice as she gave me the worksheet to work on during class. I blushed. I hated when teachers brought attention to students in class when they had a missing assignment. Like, i get it, but please don’t make the other students look at me funny…
“You got a D? You really need to work harder, girl,” my friend said at lunch when I told her my score on the science quiz. My friend Kylie’s only ever had A’s and B’s in her classes.
And even though we’re best friends, I’m jealous of her perfect grades. I understand why she works so incredibly hard to get them though. She said her parents get really mad if she gets anything worse than a C. Like really mad. Too mad sometimes.
Kylie’s perfect in every way though. She’s so different than me. She’s never gotten in trouble, she looks pretty, she has perfect grades, she always wakes up on time, she’s never forgotten anything, and I feel like she’s never made mistakes in her life. She’s so lucky. I’m the opposite. I’m a waking loser. I’m clumsy, forgetful, lazy, stupid, messy, and overall, a mistake.
If only I could be perfect. Even for just one day or something. I just want to be perfect.
The bell rang, and me and Kylie walked to class together. “I’m jealous of you,” she sighed. “You’re so amazingly imperfect. You know who you are. You dont have controlling parents, you have parents who understand you. I wish I could be in your shoes, Jordan.”
I stopped in my tracks. “No way. You don’t want to be me. You don’t know what you’re saying. My life is horrible. Everything from 6am to 11pm is awful. The moment I wake up to the moment I fall asleep. You have no idea.”
Kylie tugged on my hand, reminding me that if I didn’t hurry up, I was going to be late. I started running, and a teacher stopped me. “Jordan. No running, I’ve told you several times this school year.”
“Sorry.” I stopped by the stairs, waited for Kylie to catch up, and headed up with her.
Turns out we had a pop quiz in social studies. I groaned, knowing I would totally flunk it.
Maybe I shouldn’t even do it. Maybe I just won’t even try.
By the end of the day, I had a lot of homework I needed to complete. Did I work on it? No, I fell asleep on the couch out of exhaustion.

At 6am the next day, my alarm screamed. Beep! Beep! BEEP! BEEP!!
“Shut up,” I mumbled, and shut it off.
And for the first time in a while, I actually got up. I sprang out of bed and rushed downstairs. Surprisingly, my dad was there. He watched me eat breakfast, making me feel weird. My dad usually didn’t get up until a few minutes before I left for the bus. And my mom, I never saw at all until I got home. But not long after I started eating, my mom came downstairs, startling me. What was she doing here? Was it a special day?
After I finished breakfast, i went upstairs and dressed. Somehow, I remembered to brush my hair and wash my face. I grabbed my stuff, and even checked to make sure it was everything, and came down. My mom spoke. “Jordan, we’re so proud of you in school. But you have a B in science and in English. You need to improve. We’re counting on you.”
“…Okay.” I felt weird. I felt pressured. And I didn’t have a B in science and English. I had a C in both of those. I hurried out the door to my bus stop. I was the first one there, like usual. I was pondering what was going on that morning. Another kid arrived at the corner and gave me a look.
“Okay. I’ll be honest! How do you get straight A’s so much?”
“I get straight A’s? Since when?”
“Don’t play stupid. You’re the smartest in class.”
What?
“Congratulations, Jordan! You have another perfect score,” my English teacher said as she handed back my worksheet from yesterday. This wasn’t mine. I didn't even finish the worksheet.
I was confused, but maybe this was good. I was getting straight A’s and 10/10’s. I was getting smiley faces from the teachers and “favorite student” notes.
At lunch, Kylie looked upset. “I don’t know why, but my grades suddenly dropped and my parents are acting nicer than usual, and I left one of my folders at home…” she said, panicked.
My jaw dropped. “Same! Except the other way around- my grades are better? And my parents woke up early this morning- even my mom woke up at 6:15!”
Kylie gasped as the gears in her brain turned. “I think we switched places.”
“What?”
“You’re experiencing what I experience every day! I’m experiencing what you experience every day. It makes sense.”
Huh. It does, but… “how do we switch it back? I don’t like your parents.”
“I… don’t know.”
“I’ll try out different things…”

In the end—I got a bad grade and Kylie got a good grade and that’s how we could go back to normal, but it took a few miserable days for that to happen.

I guess my life isn’t as bad as I thought it was though. And my friends life isn’t as good as I thought it was.

SWC Daily #3: Object Smoothie!
Word count: 305



Have you ever felt that cold, empty feeling before? Everyone seems to go through it at one point or another in their life. Maybe you lost an important test, or maybe it’s just a drowsy Winter morning. Most people go for a blanket or advice with a cup of coffee. But, I assure you that the new Scarf Smoothie will warm you up just as well! Now, you might be thinking: “A Scarf Smoothie? What would that do? How would you even make it?” Well, let’s just say that this wonderful smoothie makes you feel cozy; think of it as the equivalent of hugging your beloved dog or someone wishing you a happy birthday. The Scarf Smoothie also comes in many different colors! You could get the colorful rainbow variation that gives you more of an excited feeling, or you could get the warm toned variation that gives you the true feeling of when you curl up into a blanket and read a good book. Or maybe you’d just like the yellow scarf flavor, that reminds you of strolling through a Summer meadow? Or, perhaps, the green scarf flavor that reminds you of picking flowers during Spring. And that’s just a few flavors! And I assume that you’re now wondering how we made this? Well, that, my friend, is a company secret. But just ask anyone that has had it; the Scarf Smoothie is the best smoothie that you have ever tasted and the best smoothie that you ever will taste!

Hey! Guess what? If you happen to be an SWCer, the Scarf Smoothie is at an incredibly low price! You can now taste the deliciousness for half of the cost. Get it before the limited edition sale runs out! Just yell “I want a Scarf Smoothie” really loudly and it’ll teleport right to you!

Imagine a smoothie. What are its ingredients? Most of the basic, disgusting smoothies you find at stores have basic ingredients that won’t satisfy your taste buds. Do you know what will satisfy your taste buds? Iron bar smoothie! This new smoothie is made from the finest iron bars from the second bunk of a bunk bed! The bars are from farms that pledge to ethically produce the iron bars that you eat. They’re non-gmo, gluten free, sugar free, caffeine free, and is tasty and healthy as well! The taste of these iron bars are unique and is something you have never tasted before! The iron bars are blended into a smooth, creamy smoothie even kids will like! Some of the other ingredients in this smoothie are mangoes, strange-looking candy that was found on the ground of someone’s bedroom, water, and some leaves from a random bush. We’ve tested this smoothie with random civilians multiple times, and they have helped us create a smoothie that everyone loves. We’ve included a recipe for the iron bar smoothie down below so you can share it with anyone you want to share it with!

Step 1
Get a few iron bars. It can be from anywhere, but iron bars from bunk beds are the best for this recipe.

Step 2
Get some of the other ingredients: mangoes, strange candy, water and leaves from a random bush

Step 3
Put all ingredients in a blender. Make sure it’s strong, and set the blender to the fastest speed it can go. A recommended speed is 50 mph.

Step 4
Wait until the ingredients are in a smooth, creamy mixture. Take it out and serve. Enjoy!

If you don’t have the ingredients to make a iron bar smoothie by yourself, do not fret! We’re selling them for $2 a smoothie! What a deal! You can buy them at your local black market or buy them online at www.ironbarsmoothies.com

Daily #3

(My object was pink glasses. I tried to incorporate elements from glasses - from vision health to crunchy “glass” bits - in my smoothie.)

To all of you who are sick of the same, boring smoothies: I propose an alternative.

Perhaps you are tired of drinking the same strawberry banana smoothies. (I certainly would be.)
Perhaps you are tired of shopping for the exact same smoothie options as last month.

Well, today is your lucky day, because a new smoothie has just been introduced. Bursting with flavor and texture, the Strawberry Crunchy Smoothie is sure to grab your attention.

First, let’s take a look at the ingredients. These smoothies are packed with vitamins and protein, particularly Vitamin A. This is especially good for eye health and the immune system. Our product uses only the highest quality ingredients. This means we are 100% organic, environmentally friendly, and participate in ethical sourcing. The main ingredient in this smoothie is, of course, strawberries. The vibrant berries provide a natural pink coloring which is sure to brighten up your day. Additionally, these berries provide a natural sweetness, while adding a little tartness to the drink. Arguably, the strawberries are the real star of the show, but other honorable mentions include Greek yogurt, organic raw honey, and carrots. Carrots pair surprisingly well with strawberries, and this flavor combination is no disappointment! Because of the abundance in Vitamin A, this smoothie is one of the leading smoothies in vision health.

What makes this smoothie different from others, you may ask? Aside from the delicious, quality ingredients, the Strawberry Crunchy Smoothie has one main difference: the texture. Rather than the typical smooth, creamy texture, this smoothie contains wonderfully crunchy almond bits. This may seem unusual for a smoothie, but I highly encourage you to try it! The crushed almonds add a perfect, nutty crunch, which compliments the creamy smoothie well. Who knows? You may end up loving it.

The Strawberry Crunchy Smoothie is a limited edition flavor, so be sure to get it before stores run out! You can find this smoothie in your local grocery store or have it shipped to your door. I promise you this blissfully healthy drink will not disappoint.

3rd Daily
After a long day of school, you walk upstairs, and a smoothie is there, with a note next to it. “A delicious book smoothie, complete with sugary words in it. -love, mum (or mom)” You say out loud. Your mum/mom is always cooking peculiar things, and for once you decide to try it out. Running downstairs, you grab a cup, and pour it in. It’s tinted purple, and a piece of soggy, ripped paper with the words ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth’. You take it out, not wanting to think of what the paper’s made of. Your cup is still, and the smoothie overfills it, juice dripping onto the counter. After wiping the extra off with a tissue, you pinch your nose and gulp down the gooey lot. You don’t believe what your tastebuds are yelling to you. The smoothie tastes amazing! Suddenly, you mind begins to fill with ideas for the weekly, and you bust into your room, knocking over a few toys here and there, plonk yourself in front of the computer, and start to write. Taking another sip, you decide to write about drinking the most delicious smoothie in the world, and you gain a first place in the writing competition. Then, the front door opens, and, instead of mum/mom, it’s a man with the cap ‘smoothietesters.com’. “Hello, is there anyone home? I’m here because a neighbour has reported a ‘good smoothie’ smell.” You creep downstairs with your cup of book smoothie and say “Y-yes? What would you like to do?”. “Oh, we just need a sample of your smoothie to commercially sell. You’ll blow up. The money you’ll get is a ridiculous amount!” So, you dash upstairs and grab the bowl, before running downstairs to meet the man again. This was the start of a new adventure.

(Smol note: Osmium is actually used for clarinets pivots. Who knew that science, music and SWC would somehow be related?)

Are you tired of having a regular smoothie everyday? Does your smoothie taste like absolute trash? Do you want to spice up your drink?

Fear no more, SWCers. I give you the clarinet smoothie.

Yes, I understand that I sound a tad bit crazy, but let me show you why you should make this your go-to smoothie. Trust me, you’ll like just as much as I do. From the delicious flavors to the healthy aspects to even the musical touch, the clarinet smoothie is a fan favorite.

Let’s start with how healthy this smoothie is for you. The clarinet smoothie contains many vitamins and minerals, which are of course nice, however that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about the one element that makes this smoothie amazing, osmium. It’s a rare metal used to make the pivots on most clarinets, therefore also being found in the smoothie. It’s said to boost strength and speed by 10000%! Now, passing gym class will be a breeze. You won’t have to worry about that fitness test you have coming up.

Now to my favorite part, the music. Tests show that when the clarinet smoothie is consumed daily, musical talent goes up by 7798320238%! All my fellow band kids, you’ll be a musical genius! You’ll have your band teacher in absolute shock when you play them the hardest piece you can find. Even if you never had any music experience before, once you drink this smoothie, you’ll be a master.

Side effects of the drink include inability to stop playing music, singing at random times and breaking out in a dance, but it’s not that bad.

So, try the clarinet smoothie today! In just one sip, I promise you’ll fall head over heels with it.

(Disclaimer: This is obviously fake, osmium is NOT to be consumed at all costs. And please, don’t try blending a clarinet. Please.)

(Disclaimer part 2: I’m serious. I’ve seen like 15 kids do it before.)

November 3 daily (323 words):
Ever heard of the Sharpie Smoothie before? It’s the newest sweet drink that you can rely on to become a better student. Though the Sharpie Smoothie looks murky and repulsive, the true flavor cannot be more different than expected. As you take a sip, you can easily recognize the unique, intense flavor of the marvelous smoothie. It is reminiscent of elementary school days when classmates drew Sharpie tattoos on their hands. One’s writing skills can even be boosted with a single sniff of the spicy scent. With the fresh pop of tangy liquid on the tongue and an ice-cold cup of smoothie at the side, your fingertips will immediately be reaching for the keyboard. Before you know it, you’ll have a perfect, completed essay finished all in the matter of seconds. This is extremely beneficial for literature projects, as one taste will give you the ability to write an entire hundred thousand pages before the effect wears off. However, with great power comes great responsibility! There is a limit on how much Sharpie Smoothie you can drink. One container of Sharpie Smoothie can only be consumed once a month. This means it can only be used twelve times a year, so be cautious of how you drink it. If the amount consumed exceeds the once-a-month limit, you may have uncomfortable side effects including nausea, red eyes, insomnia, headaches, and tooth decay. Furthermore, the method of storage affects your physical state since warm Sharpie smoothies may become dangerous to ingest. The smoothie normally comes refrigerated, so you can store it in room temperature for one to two days before freezing again. Not only does the energy drink have countless benefits, but studies have also shown that students are more likely to be accepted into top schools after intake of the Sharpie Smoothie. In summary, you should try the Sharpie Smoothie for a blast to the past, heaps of energy, and cheat to writing beautifully.
