Now, if you're not familiar with hot sticks you can make a journey here to pick up some of your very own.


THE HOT STICK CRAZE OF 3178

The year of 3178 was the year of the Hot Stick Craze. Hot sticks are extremely spicy sausages that people in Wisconsin are very fond of. In Wisconsin, for some unknown reason animals began to steal hot sticks. Even cows were stealing them, which was strange, because hot sticks are made of beef. People were alarmed by this so they began to buy as many hot sticks as possible. Box after box of hot sticks were sold to each household. The hot stick companies’ profits sky rocketed and the owners became billionaires. This, of course, was terrific for the owners, but was a hassle for the state of Wisconsin. The company known as H.S. Inc. was the biggest of all the major companies that sold hot sticks. The owner of this company was a septillionaire and his house took up several square miles of land. His house used an extreme amount of energy and a quarter of Wisconsin was put into a permanent black-out because of it.

A scientific discovery showed that if you eat to many hot sticks it will cause a deadly disease, and that disease quickly spread throughout Wisconsin. The demand for drinking water increased. The hot sticks were extremely spicy, so people drank more and more water to wash away the spiciness. Each family drank about thirty gallons of water a day. There was, of course, a rise in waste produced so the rivers and lakes were very polluted and no one swam any more except in man-made pools. All the water that people were drinking began to rust the pipes at incredible speeds. By the year 3179 all the pipes broke and there was no available drinking water. People were dying of spiciness. There was no water to wash away the spiciness from the hot sticks so people’s mouths shriveled up and they eventually died. The pressure from the water that leaked out of the pipes built up for years until finally thousands of geysers shot out of the ground. The geysers destroyed houses and caused major sink holes that destroyed whole towns.

By year 3180 the United States had noticed that Wisconsin had turned into a total wasteland; full of disease, pollution, and destruction. America decided to sell Wisconsin. The problem was, almost everything that had to do with the states had to be changed, from the state flag to the maps in text books. The United States told Canada that they could have Wisconsin for $1,000,000,000. Canada examined Wisconsin and refused the offer. The United States was desperate to get rid of Wisconsin and lowered the price to $1,000,000. Still Canada refused and the United States declared war on Canada. In the year 3187 the war ended and Canada was forced to take Wisconsin. Canada had really no use for Wisconsin so they decided to use it for nuclear storage. The few people who still lived in Wisconsin were outlaws or people that were crazy.

People that still lived in Wisconsin besides the outlaws had no idea that right under their feet there were millions of gallons of nuclear waste. One day an old man was walking down a road that led nowhere at all. Of course, he was eating a hot stick and had plenty more in his bag. He spotted a hole in the ground just big enough for a hot stick. He threw a hot stick down the hole. That hole led to a 300,000 gallon tank of nuclear waste. The chemicals in the hot stick fused with the waste and exploded. The explosion was so big that all of Wisconsin was wiped off the world map. This lead to a new discovery in science, the Hot Stick Bomb. It was tested in the Sahara desert. Now there is no Sahara desert. It was forbidden to use the Hot Stick Bomb in case some nut would accidently blow up all the land mass in the world. Scientists once found a body that was caught in one of the explosions of the Hot Stick Bomb. The body was completely turned into a 100 pound hot stick that they ate for lunch.

The Hot Stick Craze went down in history and was a holiday for school kids. November 17, 3178 was they day the animals began to steal hot sticks; it was called Hot Sticks Day. Scientists never figured out why animals began to steal hot sticks. A theory was some chemical in the hot sticks attracted all animals, but how come it didn’t happen before? It seemed pointless but in the United States and Canada hot sticks were banned. Because animals started eating hot sticks Wisconsin was wiped off the map. But it really was the humans’ fault. They over reacted about hot sticks. Just goes to show you, a small problem can lead to a much bigger one.
