Quicklish

We in the library have devised a brilliant plan for a new confectionery item... Quicklish! Morsels of licorice so tiny you can finish the entire packet in a matter of seconds.

For now, the question is: would you buy Quicklish?

Liz Rary frowned. "Do boats rustle?" She peered around her own computer screen at a second colleague. "Hey, do boats rustle?"

Third colleague thought about it for a moment. "Hmm...don't think so."

"Hey, wait! This guy's name is Dennis Dennis! I'm not even kidding!"

"Yep!"

"He could so totally be Arch Nemesis."

"No, it's Archie Nemesis, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah - Archie Nemesis. Ordinary guy by day, super villain by night!"

"To match me, you mean?"

"Yep. Elizabeth Rary, librarian by day...superhero by night!"

"So Badwin..."
