Murder at the DQ - By Erica and Augusta

My friend Augusta and I enjoyed cheap fun by creating a murder mystery using condiments found at a local Dairy Queen.

Our story starts with a simple blind date...Mr. Pepper takes Ms. Salt to the DQ. It's love at first sight and they get married soon after...

A couple years down the road Mr. Pepper is a mid-thirties disillusioned cubicle drudge in the work-a-day office world. His wife sees him off to work.

Mrs. Pepper gets worried when Mr. Pepper isn't home to listen to his favorite band, Salt N Pepa...

She gets on the phone and calls her friend the private investigator and his trusty sidekick, Mustard.


The private investigator is barely on the case for two minutes before he gets a phone call from some innocent bystanders...

Mr. Pepper, unfortunately has bit the dust...

The private investigator and his trusty sidekick cordon off the crime scene with very official police tape...

The private investigator and his trusty sidekick talk to the widow and try to find who would want Mr. Pepper dead... (on a sidenote, the glasses case is a couch, not a coffin, we're not that morbid)

The private investigator and his trusty sidekick review the weapons found lying around the crime scene...but none match the crime.

Because unbeknownst to The Private Investigator, his trusty sidekick has gone over to the Dark Side. He killed Mr. Pepper in a fit of anger because Mr. Pepper called the Packers a bunch of pansies...

Desperate to call attention off himself, the not-so-trusty sidekick tries to frame an innocent ketchup...

And it almost worked except when The Private Investigator trimmed his hedges, he just happened to see his not-so-trusty sidekick bury the murder weapon!!

The not-so-trusty sidekick is brought under intense interrogation by the Private Investigator...but he won't break down...Until he is brought to the grieving widow who tells him Mr. Pepper was joking when he said the Packers were pansies (or WAS he??)

The not-so-trusty sidekick breaks down and confesses and is thrown into a maximum security prison for life.

A couple years down the road Mrs. Pepper becomes Mrs. Private Investigator and they live happily everafter.

The End
