Hats Off...

Chef Hat
Halloween's over. It's adjustable because there's a Velcro enclosure.




Yes, this post is short, perhaps even sweet...but to the point? Hardly. I have news for the author of this post, Halloween is not just over, it's long gone...we're past the point in which we can refer to it merely as 'over'. We're in the that awkward period between 'over' and 'upon us', a time in which not many people are looking for the costume or mulling over ways of topping the last one, so perhaps this is not the best way to market a free chef's hat. I could be wrong though, as I have neither attempted to give away a chef's hat nor have I procured one in this fashion. I am also perplexed about the verbiage of the second (and final) sentence. 'It's adjustable because there's a Velcro enclosure'?! That seems less like a generalized description and more like the answer to the question "Why is this free chef's hat adjustable?", which no one appears to have posed...now I understand that this is perhaps a selling point of the free hat, however when phrased so awkwardly the appeal of an an adjustable chef's hat is lost in translation. There is also the issue of the difference between 'closure' and 'enclosure', which our author seems not to be aware of. To me, a Velcro enclosure conjures up images of a pen of sorts outfitted with Velcro walls in which animals/humans/stuff is contained- quite a creepy image. A Velcro closure on the other hand leaves me with thoughts of a very versatile chef's hat, that could perhaps be shared amongst many chefs of varying head sizes, nevermind the sanitary implications that holds.
