Something being wonderful means that, obviously, it’s filled with wonder, and often leaves us who look upon it full of wonder as well. Though, I tend to find wonder exists on a sliding scale of life-changing amazement to small-time awe.
This list is more of the latter, tiny discoveries that filled us with wonder, but they’re still magical all the same!
RELATED STORIES
“The excessive wax on this bottle of Makers.”
They said if you want this Whisky, you’re going to need to really work for it. Once you peel it all away, you could melt that down and make a candle with it, free gift!
“Plaque in the booth of my local Panera. Does she come back to sit there?”
I enjoy the implication that Gabrielle’s parents came back and bought this plaque for the Panera. They thought those employees must have been so honored that they’d want to remember that moment forever.
“A random, big ice diamond by the road. My lighter for scale.”
The’s quite the peculiar shape it has going on there, and with how smooth it is, it almost seems sculpted. Not that I’m accusing someone of sculpting this chunk of ice just to abandon it. I’m not the ice police.
“This McDonald’s sign is very low.”
yeah, if you can find a way to jump your car through one of the arches, you get a free Happy Meal with an extra toy.
I’m kidding, please don’t ramp yourself through any McDonald’s arches.
“This Johnny 5 mailbox.”
Oh my god. I haven’t thought about Short Circuit in years! Once when I was at summer camp as a kid, we watched this movie every single daywhile waiting for parents to come pick their kids up. No, I don’t know why either.
“This salad I’d cut in half and left in a bag for 2 days to feed my snails with grew some leaves.”
Looks like you’ve just discovered the perfect infinite snail food hack. No need to keep buying lettuce when you can regrow the same head over and over again!
“This restaurant’s bathroom had a piano in it.”
While this certainly is unique, I wouldn’t quite call it a good idea. Sure, people can play a little tune in the bathroom, but usually they’re just trying to get back to their meal.
Also, do you know how many people don’t wash their hands?
“The lighting and reflection make it look like there’s a tree in the room upstairs.”
With the purple reflection, this pic looks super surreal, it’s almost creepy. You’re sure you’re in your neighborhood and didn’t stumble into some weird parallel universe, right?
“The older gentleman that lives next door to me whittled this little pig.”
What a polite-looking little fellow! Such a gentle smile, he looks like he’d be a lovely friend and a very patient listener. A kind action producing a kind result, what a wonderful gift!
“This box of this frozen pizza has removable instructions so you don’t have to go through your trash to find out how long your pizza has to stay in the oven.”
Now, this is a brand that knows its user base. Maybe they’ve even been there themselves, the walk of shame back to the trash or the recycling bin to pull out a box you just threw away.
“Set of old survival silverware I found while cleaning out storage.”
Thankfully this clever little storage device contains the most important utensil for survival. No, it’s not the weird long fork, it’s that sneaky little bottle opener!
“This absolutely humongous succulent plant in my planter box.”
I have a notorious black thumb. I’ve tried to keep succulents before, couldn’t even get them to sprout an extra leaf before they perished at my hand. I didn’t even think it was possible for a succulent to get this big. I’m properly frightened.
“This chili recipe that my Grandfather kept adjusting over the years of making it.”
Talk about a real labor of love. Someone ought to transcribe that onto a full piece of paper for him so he has more room for future edits, that card is getting pretty packed!
“A very nice lady gave me us an old school waffle maker; the waffles are animal shaped!”
Food is just better when it’s in fun shapes! There’s no age limit to this, by the way. You can enjoy sea creature waffles and dino nuggets no matter how old you are!
“The bench in this 24-hour laundry is a giant clothespin.”
The real question here is if it’s functional or not, and if it is, if there’s a second one around somewhere so we can hang Godzilla’s new sweater up to dry.
“My ice cream and bowl are the same color.”
Put some carefully placed sprinkles on that and you have an absolutely perfect Instagram shot. Get it quick, before it melts or before a foodie influencer catches wind and breaks into your house to steal bowl, ice cream, and all!
“This hotel’s bench has a very honest dedication plaque.”
Well, if nothing else, they’re honest! Which I fin to be an oft-forgotten trait when it comes to hotels. Sure you want ‘comfort’ and ‘security’, but I want staff that’ll tell me when my shirt is stained or when I have something in my teeth.
“My iPhone collected ironsand at the beach.”
If you swipe along the beach and gather enough of that, you could build yourself a whole new phone case made of iron! You’ll never have to face another cracked screen again!
“I saw the end of a rainbow at the beach today.”
Hey, that’s not gold! Though this is a beach, and the sand looks to be a lovely golden color, so maybe the real gold is the beautiful scenery we saw along the way.
No, nevermind, that’s lame.
“This rather ominous corner of my workplace…”
Shaming robots who aren’t working up to par is only going to make them feel bad! That’s no way to go about running a workplace that inspires growth. Try working with them to correct their mistakes, be gentle, they’ll thank you for it!
