Uranus

Whilst on our Indy Adventure, we made an unplanned stop. 

Many of you may have heard of the Uranus Fudge Factory. Yes, their slogan is: "The Best Fudge Comes From Uranus". 

There is like an entire town in Missouri somewhere, which is the real draw (?).  But it turns out they have an outpost right inside the Indiana border - should you be coming via Ohio. And yes, I made 710 stop. 

I was underwhelmed. 

For starters, I don't like fudge. Neither of us do. Make all the jokes you'd like. 

But the Indiana one seems a little underwhelming when compared to the pictures I've seen of the main location. It's basically a glorified shack at the top of a hill next to a church. With some animatronic dinosaurs. 

Yes. You read that correctly. 

Now, the 62 12 year old in me, kind of laughs at all their 'uranus' puns. 

Laughs. Does not buy. 

There was the dog park. 

Then there was the signage in the shop. 

Then there was the merch. 

The 12 62 year old in me was over it within a few minutes. 

We purchased nothing - which I'm assuming 8 out 10 people who enter the store do the same thing. 

Oh, they had just about every crap item you'd never need (or want) with a 'uranus' phrase attached. I never looked at a price because well...........I just didn't care and I was never prying my wallet Apple Pay open for anything in the store. 

The twenty minutes I was there the way I see it, I got a post out of it. I didn't even use the bathroom, which I'm sure had more phrases inside. 

Live and learn.
