My best friend and her family occasionally get Brown, Wet Chicken.
When her daughter was born, her son was about 3. That summer, my friend was struggling with a mild case of post-partum depression and an unusually warm summer. They had been out and about for several hours, and she was at the end of her patience when she offered a quick trip to a fast-food place for chicken nuggets. Her son instead asked for the "brown wet chicken in a box". They went back and forth for a while -- her trying to figure out what in the world he was talking about and he, being more 30 than 3, repeatedly telling her, "it's the brown wet chicken in a box. Take me to the store and I'll show you."
Finally they both gave up. Her son just sighed and said, "fine. I'll have chicken nuggets."
A few days later she was in Carr's (a higher end grocery store) and walked by their Asian deli when the penny finally dropped. Honey-sesame chicken. It's brown. It's 'wet', and when you buy it, it comes to you in a box.
