Ebay Brussels Sprouts
Used food probably isn’t the hottest thing for sale online, but it could be a good way to dispose of your surplus stock.

And Happy Australia Day (Jan 26)!
Our friend Debbie Adams was instrumental in inspiring Winky to get his degree in Chocolatology. Winky’s diploma can be seen on Debbie’s art blog.
Ya killing me… Brussels Sprouts !!!! Should have fed it to the dog under the table, way quicker to get rid of. The dog under the table that is!!!!
Wonder where you got that idea….

A dog that will eat brussels sprouts.
Not me!
Me neither!
Me neither..oh wait. Flies do…sorry!!!!
Well take mine then!
Ha Ha!!! at Cici & Cassie
Dogs say the funniest things.
Yeah, I didn’t think you guys would!
I knew might know that. 😉
Me too, Fraz. 🙂
Andro likes sprouts. But I think he’s busy now.
He can have mine, well, if someone trys to give them to me anyway.
And he can have all mine too!
Dogs are more discriminatin’ than that. They won’t eat Burssels Sprouts.
Not even a green dog?
I need to get a dog then!
You should Fraz, just think of all the vegies you can drop under the table for it…but not the Brussels sprouts or collard greens…they don’t like those.
Collard greens…Eew!
A doggie to play with would be fun! And if he ate all my veggies too, that’d be even better!
You new doggie would eat some of them, but not all of them. They like green beans.
Maybe there’s some kind of brussels sprout breed of dog that would eat all of them!
Well you in luck. It just so happens that there is. The link is some photos…

I didn’t know that! I hope the brussels dog likes to eat sprouts!
Did you look at them? Not the cute pups buts some of the bigger ones?…they look like they could eat anything and would eat anything!
Some of those pups looked a lot like Cassie and Cici to me!
The big ones probably could eat what they wanted. I hope the want to eat sprouts!
I see Geoff didn’t set his timer again 🙂
He must be too busy fighting zombies!
And building and setting the summer traps to catch them.
Those zombies never seem to stop! I don’t know where they all come from!
Well, if they get a to bite someone they make that person become a zombie…it’s an epidemic.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that! It’s a good thing we’re trapping so many of them!
Oh yeah! Or they’d be pinching all your pancakes too!
That would be bad! But my traps seem to be working!
They sure are, and you got a photo of it now to prove it! 🙂
Me and Cici made some really good traps together!
Can they sell mine too…hate the stuff.
Agreed, they are hard to choke down. And I generally love vegetables.
Maybe I could make a business of it! Send your unwanted vegetables to me! I’ll make them disappear. For a fee.
The ones that don’t sell you can feed to Chris.
Maybe. I don’t think I’d tell him where I got them from though.
My lips are sealed too. 😉
🙂
Do you know the difference between boogers and Brussels Sprouts?
Kids won’t eat Brussels Sprouts.
I won’t eat booggers either!
I didn’t think you did. 😉 🙂
I’m not sure if I’ve ever even tried them…
I don’t seem to be hearing too many good things, though…
🙂
I always try to avoid them!
Avoid the collard greens too, they’re icky.
I will!
Good, just the thought of them can make you gag…here, have a milkshake…tastes much better.
Milkshakes never make me gag! They make me gulp!
I know, that’s why I rushed right over here to give you some more.That ought to get rid of that green ball memory.
It sure did! I think milkshakes should be considered vegetables!
I have an idea. I’m put a drop of carrot juice in each one so you’ll have vegetable fortified milkshakes! 😉
Now I can tell Twink I’m getting my vegetables!
Well, maybe I should just fix your shakes bigger so I can put in a whole V-8, so that you wouldn’t be telling a fib to Twink. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to taste it.
Well if I can’t taste it that’s OK. And a bigger shake is good too!
I wouldn’t bid on it either. I like brussel sprouts, but I’ll get mine at the grocery store thankyouverymuch.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
But my ebay brussel sprouts is special!
Special sauce?
If that’ll make you buy them!
What’s the starting bid?
Zero. That’s the current bid too. Nobody’s bid on them yet!
Maybe you could pay them to take them.
I might have to if I don’t get any bids soon. Or I could bribe people with some free chocolate to go with the sprouts.
That’s a great idea, Fraz. Winky has lots of chocolate in his factory! 🙂
Chocolate covered sprouts would probably sell better!
They’d go down better!
Even better if we took out the sprouts!
As a child I hated brussels sprouts, but I loved all other vegetables. And my mother still forced me to eat brussels sprouts.
What is up with parrents forcing kids to eat brussels sprouts? Oh, and she also likes turnips. 😛
Mothers are mean like that! I like carrots, but brussel sprouts are the worst! I’m not sure about turnips.
Turnip are good if they’re mashed together with carrots with lots of butter.
And some chocolate syrup!
Well of course with chocolate syrup, how else can a Womibe eat anything. 🙂 …way extra! 🙂
Chocolate makes everything taste better!
I know it does, except for liver and oysters…those are super icky.
I guess chocolate can’t help everything! But you shouldn’t be eating those super icky things anyway!
I don’t eat those icky things. I can’t even stand the site of them! 🙂
Me neither!
MMMMMMM…. brussell(sic) sprouts… reminds me of my family nickname: Russell (surname) Sprouts!!!
I love Brussell (sic) Sprouts when sauteed in garlic and butter…. mmmmm
buy a plate on ebay – I think not!!!
look at that – even I got in before Geoff today!!!
🙂
Geoff likes brussel sprouts too. You two should come over here ’cause you could have all the sprouts you want!
I think Geoff is still fighting those zombies.
When he returns to us one day, Fraz, he’ll eat up all our sprouts for us. 🙂
I’ll be happy to save them up for him!
Me too. Lets just put them all in a box for safe keeping.
It better be a big box!
That’s one ebay entry that will cost you more than you make. 🙂
It doesn’t seem to be too popular. Still no bids!
I’m not surprised, Fraz. Maybe if you take a photo of them with some cheese sauce on them you’ll get some bids.
That might help! That’s the only way I’ll eat them.
Yeah, that’s how I eat them too, but not too many. The cheese is good though.
The cheese is, but not the sprouts!
You have to eat them with a big spoon for one sprout so you can fit lots of cheese sauce. Then it will slide down fast.
That sounds like a better way to eat them. But I’d still rather not eat them at all!
With each bite take you napkin to wipe your mouth and spit it out….disposable napkins of course.
That should work! As log as Twink isn’t watching me too closely.
That’s true, and she’s pretty smart when it comes to your tactics.
I know! I think she thinks she’s my mother cause she’s always mothering me!
Sounds like her maternal clock is ticking.
Yeah! Whatever that is.
Mothering children that aren’t her own is one of the symptoms, but there’s a pretty long list to define it.
Twink definitely likes mothering us! So I guess she’s got it.
Well people do see just about anything on Ebay, you never know someone might buy it.
I hope so! I’d give you a good deal!
I like brussel sprouts, but I don’t think I would bid on them on EBay!!
But they’re extra special Wombie sprouts!
Okay, but only if you really, really need the money!
I always need money! Even though I guess I do own quite a lot of stuff now.
Yes, you need to be able to afford to keep all your stuff running right.
Especially since genie’s on a vacation!
Genie should have taken us with her…we need a break too!
That’s what I said. But she said she needed a break from me and all my wishes!
When she comes back maybe you could grant her a wish.
I couldn’t give her neat stuff like she gives me. But maybe I could give her something.
Would have been better to leave off the benifit “pre chewed”
You think that might turn off some people?
You need to market them for people with no teeth to enjoy.
That might work. I could mash them up. I’ll borrow Binky’s hammer.
Knowing Ebay, I wouldn’t be surprised if our little wombat friends were not the first to try to sell their vegetables online.

I wonder if anyone else sold any? I need some tips!
Ha Ha Ha!!! I wish there was Ebay when I was a kid. Good luck with the sale boys. However I don’t like your chances. I still hate them!!! Any bids yet??? Maybe you need to set a Buy It Now price of FREE
I was hoping to make some money my sprouts. But we haven’t got any bids yet. So maybe I will have to give them away.
I think you will still have problems
What? Someone’s gotta take them! Don’t they?
If no one bids on them by the last day, I’ll bid a penny for all of them to make compost.
That’s a good idea! I think all sprouts should be compost!
You could make some in the back yard too!
Yeah! Where all bad sprouts go to die!
Ugh! Sprouts and onions! I can’t stand either of them. No bids from me!
And broccoli too!
…and collard greens
We should make a list!
I’ll get the pencil.
I’ll get the paper!
Look away there’ll be no bids!
Someone should want them! They’re good for you!
I might try a few bids on those.
I sure hope so! No one else has!
What else do I get if I bid the highest?
Would you take a bribe of chocolate?
Yes please.
OK. For every plate of sprouts you buy, I’ll give you a free kilo of Wombie chocolate!
Now you’re talking, I am going to like it around here more than I thought 🙂
Chocolate makes people happy!
I agree! mrgreen
Are you sure you guys aren’t from Belgium? More specifically Brussels, Belgium?
How a country that makes the best chocolate and waffles can also have produced the Brussels sprout is a conundrum.
Dr. Franco, our creator, may have had some Belgian heritage. I’m not sure.
Do you pray to this Dr. Franco or just send him birthday cards? 😉
Neither. Dr. Franco is our father, not our god. He went missing under mysterious circumstances.

You have to give Fraz credit for trying. Brilliant Idea.
It’d be more brilliant if someone would buy them!
In what category did you list them?
Under vegetables. It’s in food & wine.
They need to make it sound more interesting… “Strange Green Things. May Be Edible!”
I should try that! The “good for you” thing didn’t reallly work!
Yum……Used food on EBay. It wouldn’t shock me.
We never even taste tested it!
Does anyone like carrots? I think carrots and sprouts might do a lot better on ebay?
I like carrots! They’re crunchy and yummy! But I’d give them away with the sprouts if someone would buy them that way!
Maybe a free chocolate bar could help sales?
It probably would! Almost everyone likes chocolate!
I love chocolate.
I do, too! Yummy yummy chocolate!
Winky is really smart now that he’s got a degree!
Thank you for posting it too! 🙂
Well at least I’m chocolate smart! I haven’t found a chocolate doctor job, though.
Yes you do. Your job is it eat the chocolate….Yaaay! 🙂
But no one pays me to do that. But it’s still one of the best jobs I could have.
But you have all you want of the one thing you could ever want…who needs to get paid. Good God, did I just say that?
That’s true. I have good friends and good chocolate. Who needs anything more?
When it comes down to it, Winky, nothing else matters more than those things.
Nope! We should drink a milkshake to that!
I’ll pour!
And we’ll all drink!
I would have bought their brussel sprouts…of course that would be dependent on the price they were asking. That’s my favorite vegetable! 🙂
How about free? Is that a good enough price?
That’s my favorite price. 😛
Then the sprouts are yours!
havent been here before so here goes i prefer sprouts to choccy as choccy makes me fat im afraid if i have some its dark choc i wonder what choccy sprouts would be like is anyone going to try them lol
You could eat with me anytime! You could have my sprouts, and I could have your chocolate!
Chocolate on sprouts might make them almost OK.
Welcome to Wombania, Jennygoth.
He Jen! Good to see you here. 🙂
thankyou for making me welcome its kinda chocolitty round here thats a new wombania word ive just made up lol
There’s always plenty of chocolate around here, that’s for sure.
I have no idea what Brussel sprout is…I assume it tasted bad because you two seemed to hate it
Brussel sprouts are like small cabbage balls that are stinky and taste horrible! You’re lucky your mommy doesn’t make you eat them!
Yaaiii…lucky we are not allowed to eat cabbage 🙂
Yep, you sure are lucky!
Maybe you guys just need to post better pictures of the Brussel Sprouts!
I don’t know how to make a good picture of the ugly vegetable. Maybe if I put some eyes on them or something.
