One day, Max the dog drove to Costa Coffee.

Max had only one thing on his mind: an egg fizzlepop.

When he arrived, the barista smiled and asked, “Would you like coffee or tea?”

Max thought about it. Really thought about it. He stared at the menu. He scratched his ear. He tapped his paw on the counter.

Five whole minutes later, he finally answered.

“I’d like an egg fizzlepop.”

And then—WHOOSH!—Max was suddenly sucked into a swirling black hole!

He tumbled through space, spinning like a sock in a washing machine, until he landed with a PLOP! right in front of an interdimensional ducky.

The ducky had shimmering blue feathers, a tiny top hat, and eyes that glowed like stars.

“You broke the space-time continuum,” the ducky quacked. “By ordering an egg fizzlepop.”

“Oh,” said Max. “So… no egg fizzlepop?”

The ducky sighed. “I’ll give you one more chance. Would you like coffee or tea?”

Max thought about it. Really thought about it. He stared at the ducky. He scratched his ear. He tapped his paw on the ground.

Five whole minutes later, he finally answered.

“I’d like an egg fizzlepop.”

And just like that—WHOOSH!—everything happened all over again.
