Forgive any mistakes, for I have not read The Book of Genesis, or any "real" religious scripture for that matter (not counting the Tank Encyclopedia article for the Maus or IS-7, of course)
The Tower of Babel is an origin myth from The Book of Genesis. It attempts to explain how the different languages and peoples of the world came to be. It explains that long ago, a unified humanity speaking in one tongue settled down and decided to build a tower to touch the sky.
God saw this, and made it so the people spoke different languages, scattering them across the world. To humble them, I've the impression.
Of course, nowadays we know that such a thing could not have happened. Humans spread far and wide much too early.
Despite this, I believe I have found, no, created the successor to this legendary structure...
The Second Tower of Babel, as I've taken to calling it, is a stack of 4 wide, flat cookies. The cookies have mini M&Ms mixed in, along with sprinkles. Coloured sugar and rainbow, to be specific. On top of each was pressed 5 gummy bears, and one of them has fragments of potato chips on it.
I invoked the wrath of the divine.
The gummy bears melted through like some sort of colourful Spicy Chum Surprise. They went full China Syndrome on me, leaving gummy bear-shaped holes as if they fell from great height in a cartoon.
Not only Did it look horrible, it tasted horrible.
These cookies received naught but ridicule from my comrades, something I joined in on of course.
Still, the mistake was made, the deed done, and the chips eaten.
This thing is what will cast humanity back into the darkness, back into chaos.
And it is all my fault.
For in my hubris, I have gone against the will of the universe and culinary world.
On God, what have I done?
