QPQ: Done.

Overall: This hook definitely caught my interest! I'm wondering if cheese and milk should be in quotations. Otherwise it's just waiting for QPQ, then it should be good to go. 2763 characters, 2.9% copyvio Annwfwn ( talk) 13:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply

@ Annwfwn: QPQ done. I would be alright with quotes but like no quotes better; I think that would be allowed if its the quirky spot. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 14:24, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I understand that, it's definitely an attention grabber. Updated. Annwfwn ( talk) 14:30, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I enjoyed learning how the hook was possible. I think it works for quirky. Lightburst ( talk) 15:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC) reply
