I stumbled on these MamaZuma’s Revenge Route 11 chips while browsing at Dean&Deluca and it made me thing of Willam Congreve’s famous line: Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.
William Congreve, in The mourning bride, 1697:
“As you’ll answer it, take heed
This Slave commit no Violence upon Himself.
I’ve been deceiv’d. The Publick Safety
Requires he should be more confin’d; and none,
No not the Princes self, permitted to Confer with him.
I’ll quit you to the King. Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my
Love: Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past
Distress, And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn’d;
Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d,
Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d.”
The version on the package sounds like an updated version of the quote:
“Get too close to Mama Zuma and you will get burned. This woman is determined to scorch everyone in her path. MamaZuma’s weapons are the hottest jalapeno and habanero peppers this side of the Rio Grande. Since she lost the love of life in a bizarre and tragic potato peeler accident, MamaZuma has been hell bent on burning every mouth she kisses with her special brand of passion.”
And so here I quote Louise Bourgeois: I Have Been To Hell And Back And Let Me Tell You It Was Wonderful
And you?
