I need to stress this: It is a GROSS-OUT story, so the 5 star rating is for successfully grossing me the hell out.

Imagine: You are being blindfolded and told you are getting a chocolate milkshake. Instead, a broccoli milkshake is thrown into your mouth.
Now, think of the most disgusting thing you can mix in with that broccoli...
you are not even close. It's much, much worse.

Daniel, you don't mix up sweet and salt, it is just wrong, man.

Congrats with second place and, next time I'm coming over for dinner, I will bring my own dessert, thank you very much.

TRUE STORY
I heard Daniel Volpe does his grossest writing when it's based on his own experiences.
This dude is SICK!

This is very short and I get the feeling the author was just having some fun creating something disgusting.

Unfortunately there isn't much to rate here, it never done anything for me.

I think it would have been more at home in a short story collection.

As I kept hearing how disgusting, gross, and nauseating this short 600 word story was I definitely had to give it a read. Not to mention it’s Daniel Volpe, and I love everything he writes. I thought, “how can a 600 word short contain so much?” Well, Daniel you got me! Sitting outside drinking morning coffee I started to regret reading this at the moment. I literally became nauseous, and I don’t think that has happened to me with a story/book. With the exception of Simon McHardy.
This short story packs a fucking punch! I was thoroughly grossed out to say the least. Five fucking bloody pads out of five with wings!

“Hey, are you almost done in there?” Some impatient asshole yells.

Huh, in my bliss I had forgotten to shit. Oh well, the porta-potty has a little more room, thanks to my love of strawberry shortcakes.

That this very small clot of a tale is somewhat similar to a story that's been stewing in my own head for quite some time, makes me wonder if I have what it takes to be the next Daniel Volpe, or if there's just really something wrong with me. If Mr. Volpe took home second place with this one at KillerCon's Gross Out Contest, how much more fucked up was the first place entry? It would take longer to write a synopsis than it does to read it, but lets just say that it's sort of like a story about bobbing for apples out of a barrel if those apples were really feminine hygiene products and the barrel was a port-a-potty. This time, Daniel Volpe paints way too well a picture of the gross goings on and you'll have to decide whether you can crawl your way to the finish or barf up that breakfast burrito slathered with salsa that you just scarfed down. All of the proceeds from the purchase of this one go to charity, so Mr. Volpe clearly cares for those in need, even though it's possible that he himself needs some professional help. We can only imagine what he has in store for next year's proceedings as he tries to get his just desserts. I'm already hanging my head over the toilet in anticipation.

Volpe, you are one sick puppy! 😂 This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever read and for that I’m giving it 5 stars.

[Mw Mw · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought McHardy was deeply disturbed. Volpe gives him a run for his money. I’ll never look at my Kotex Stay Free the same again.

I've been hearing about this short story so much on the horror group I'm on. So I finally had to check it out. It was as gross as everyone was saying and more. This is disgusting and gross and amazing all at once. Do not read this if you have a sensitive stomach.

[Deb Soward · Rating 5 out of 5]

All I can say is this is fucking nasty! Well done Volpe!🍓🍓🍓😱🤮

[Anja Henriksen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Despite what it looks like you will not head straight down to the bakery on the corner to buy yourself a strawberry shortcake or two to greedily indulge. And you will probably regret it, if you bought them to enjoy while cozingly reading this story.
But you will not regret reading this fantastic tiny story. Unless of course your gag reflex is overly sensitive.

[Diana | Indie Book Addict · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dear God! As if Porta-Potties weren't revolting enough! Volpe adds a foul and stomach churning grossness to the mix. How this came in second is beyond me! 5 NASTY stars!

[Olivia Loccisano · Rating 3 out of 5]

The most disgusting story you will ever read. It would have been even creepier if there was some background of the county fair contest like it mentions in the synopsis. Either way, a truly vile read.

2 Mouth Watering Pages of Filth
Never, will I ever, use a portable toilet! If you are squeamish DO NOT read this…I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU. 5 creamy tongue licks out of 5

I want your berries and that summer feeling ….

[DA · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars for being the most disgusting thing I've ever read. If you're easily grossed out or offended I suggest you skip this story.

[John The Crippledgimp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fucking gross..... That is all

[David · Rating 5 out of 5]

10 minutes of extreme sick snacking.

[Stitching Ghost · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely and gut churningly disgusting.

[Stefanie Duncan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Are you curious was a strawberry shortcake is?

Well, I won't tell you. You will have to find out for yourself.

Are you sure you want to though?

You might regret it.

Like, really regret it.

I do not regret it BUT I think I will never ever forget what I just read. Like, EVER. Pretty sure that this was Daniel Volpe's intention.

[Kiera ☠ · Rating 4 out of 5]

How Volpe was able to squeeze so much disgusting content into something so short and with such an unassuming name is crazy to me! My only gripe honestly is I wish it was longer (I don’t know what that says about me lol).

Horrifying, disgusting, vomit inducing fun! Definitely recommend this super quick read.

[Steph's_Creepy _Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm still gagging!! 5 stars for the ability to bring this woman to the toilet bowl. Oh the visuals.

[Horrorlover86 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I won't say much except that this makes me want to gargle my mouth with Clorox. Highly recommend

[Angelique Jordonna · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was like someone wasted two pages to write my life story. Strawberry Shortcakes are the best treat on a hot sticky day.

[Max Bowman · Rating 4 out of 5]

A positive, uplifting story about a guy who by chance comes across his all-time favorite snack. Gross, gross, GROSS!! And yet penned in a style both sharp and witty. Loved it!

[Jennifer Matchett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely disgusting. I loved it.

[Mounkey · Rating 4 out of 5]

GROSS!!!!! Ok you win.

[Diane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely disgusting....A great title for a foul little story.
You can't even begin to imagine what is written here.
If you're going to delve into this one...just brace yourself strongly.

5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟's for Daniel J. Volpe's extremely sick and twisted mind. 🤢🤮

[Matthew Vaughn · Rating 4 out of 5]

This fun little short took second place in a gross out contest.
