Like a bolt of lightning or an unexpected case of the giggles, inspiration can appear suddenly, fiercely, uncontrollably (and if we have anything to do with it), chunkily. Sometimes these moments of inspiration can produce ideas that were better left inside the interior of one’s cranium, but sometimes the ideas turn out to be some sort of heavenly combination of outlandish yet indescribably brilliant. Many of the flavour ideas that have made their way from our fan’s imaginations into our inbox (or back in the day into our suggestion box) have been the latter…indescribably brilliant as well as forehead-smackingly bonkers! They do say madness is genius. Or is it genius is madness. Or is it menius is gadness.
