Last week I brought musubi puns to a beach cleanup and made three new friends. One guy laughed so hard he dropped his trash bag. Another person asked me to text her my entire list. The third just stared at me and said “I hate you but also can I have your recipe?” That’s the power of combining good food with terrible wordplay.
I’ve been perfecting these jokes for months. Testing them at parties, grocery stores, and one very confused family reunion. These pick up lines work because musubi itself is already perfect.
