Picture This...

It's late at night.

You're craving something made of chocolate.

There is nothing in the house.

Not even a secret stash.

But you're already in your pajamas, and don't feel like heading out.

So you put in a call.

Instead of this...



There is a knock on the door.

When you answer the door, there is a uniformed waiter is standing on your doorstep, a towel over his arm, as though he were room service in a fine hotel.

With a flourish, he removes the lid from a silver platter

and presents you with a platter full of decadent brownies...



How much would you be willing to pay for this service and what would you call it?

**edited to add that I appreciate all your input and support of my idea, and that I do officially have something "in the works". I'll keep you all posted.**

Depends..how buff is the waiter?

Jenster said...

LOL Katybug! You naughty girl!!

I don't know what I would call it. I just know I WOULD call it!

frumpgram said...

"Heavenly Bliss", "How Spoiled Can You Be?" or "Chocolate a la Car" come to mind.

Who WAS this mystery man, this paragon among understanding males? I'm tired of dressing and driving to the store at midnight!

Phain said...

if they'll swing by the coffee shop on their way over then i'm totally on board! call it "cocoa loco" since we're all nuts enough to pay money for this service ;)

Rosie said...

Name? CHOCOLATE 24/7 365

My response is more along the lines of, "Are you crazy? I can't eat brownies at 11 p.m.! You weren't supposed to actually bring them! How much do I owe you?"

Joy said...

"Desperate Housewives" HA HA HA!

Okay, all joking aside because I actually despise that show! I'd call it "Chez Chocolat" or something foreign to add to the element of mystery and decadence. That was French for Chocolate House.

Joy said...

Oh and I'd probably pay $10 for a platter of brownies!

Anne Elizabeth said...

OMG I would love to have that service! I don't know what I would call it or how much I would pay. Just give me the chocolate!!!lol

Becky said...

LOL, I'm kind of leaning towards "The PMS Express". ;)

Kellan said...

Oh - you are on to something here!!!! What a great idea!

Hope you had a good weekend, Becky - see you this week - Kellan

I like Chocolate a la Car that frumpgram suggested - cute!

The Daily Bee said...

Katybug! LOL!!!!

Are they fresh homemade? In that case, $15. If they were Ghiradelli it wouldn't matter how much. Especially when your pmsing and need a fix. lol

TheOneTrueSue said...

I would pay approximately ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Seriously. That's a good idea.

Ris said...

Can he bring Nestle Crunch and Ice cream too? I would pay for that service for sure! Hubby and I have gone out late many a nights to pick up something sweet at the store and suffered on other nights when neither of us was up for driving. Sigh.

Gretchen said...

Becky, you big old tease. I now crave brownies with a capital C. Thank you very much...

mmmm...I think I'd call it...dinner. For one. And I'd pay my last $20.00.

David said...

I want to do a business plan for this idea, and sell the franchise across America. Let's make us rich
Love it

Shari said...

I'm not good with titles. I try to be. Hmm....
Desserts on Wheels...

Chocolate Delivery...ugh. Bad.

Whatever. Give me two brownies, please.

Midnight Express.

His Girl said...

I would call it every.day.of.my.life.

Tanya said...

I would call it delicious!

Tracy said...

What an awesome idea...I would call it "Where have you been all my life!?"

Thanks for your comments about working with clay. Our guest speaker at church had arranged for one of our members (who is a potter) to create one from start to finish on the potter's wheel as he was preaching. It was an awesome illustration!

Maria said...

Hey, I think it could work!

Kim Heinecke said...

I'd call it a dream. And it would be my luck I'd wake up before I get to eat the brownies!! :) But yum...i'd buy a franchise to that business.

Sing4joy said...

I would pay 87 trillion 6 hundred million 595 thousand 87.60. I don't know what I would call it, but the bigger question is, "Why is he wearing a shirt?" Also, for his protection it may be a good idea for him to have one of those magnetic signs for the side of the car that says, "Driver never carries more than 3 plates of brownies." Safety first.

Becca in Texas said...

Seriously, I have thought a million times that someone should deliver ice cream at night. Start it up and get rich!

Shauna said...

LOL! Katybug you're too much!

Will you deliver to Canada?? Pretty please??!

Cassie said...

That's so funny! I am always talking about starting a service that will deliver things to you so you don't have to run to the store just for, say, a bar of soap. My husband says it's a great business idea. The only problem is that I'm lazy, and I want to USE the service, not create it. So good luck!

Jillybean said...

That is a FABULOUS IDEA!!!

I really could have used that service a few nights ago. I ended up eating hot chocolate mix straight from the can.
The brownies would have been so much better.
