Hmm, my mall's HT moving took place last fall. Yeah, sounds like the store had a company wide revamp of some sort.
I was reminded of a funny thing that happened last week this morning, concerning the first blanket featuring Bloo and Cheese. Thought I'd share.
As we are well aware, the show's style is without black outlines. Same goes for their merchandise, including the blankets. It's also useful for you to know I like to sleep in the darkest room possible. I have blinds and thick green curtains up in my bedroom window. At night it's nearly pitch black in there, and in the morning, only enough light creeps in between the blinds and the wall for everything to be in gray scale (that is, not enough light to see colors, but I
can see). Now, I have the blanket on my bed, and one morning last week, I woke up and noticed the creepiest thing. In my drowsy state, I thought something had actually happened to my blanket! But what could possibly make Cheese disappear entirely?? All I could see of Cheese was his eyes and grin. The yellow of his body and the light blue of the background are apparently very close in scale that without my seeing the actual colors, they blended right into each other. I could see Bloo fine, as his dark blue stood out from the light blue background. But Cheese had disappeared! All I saw was his floating face! Oh, and Bloo had a hand shaped "hole" in his side. It took me a second to realize that nothing was actually wrong, it was just a visual effect. I reached over and turned my lamp on and Voila! There was Cheese, perfectly fine. I cracked up laughing at how I thought something had happened to my blanket. *gasp* Someone stole Cheese right off my blanket!!
Feel free to try it if you've got the blanket. As long as it's just dark enough to see everything in gray scale. All you'll see is Cheese's floating eyes and teeth. It looks kinda creepy.
