Possibly one of the best Craiglist ads ever written

I'm hosting a July 4th BBQ at the new house, but don't have a BBQ grill yet. So, I went cruising through Craigstlist and came across this fabulous ad:

Behold! A chip-and-dip bowl of life-altering proportions! - $5

BBQ season is here.

It's a lovely day, and you're probably thinking to yourself,

"I'm going to another BBQ today. Let's make it count. Today is the first day of the rest of my chip-and-dip bringing life. Today, while the hot dogs and hamburgers smolder away on a dollar store hibachi, while the beer goes flat and the guests lose their mingling mojo, while the desserts melt in the afternoon sun, this is the time that I will arrive--not with a 6-pack of domestic swill or 2-liter of high-fructose diabetes, NO! I shall strike awe in others with a gleaming bowl of fresh, mouth-watering spinach dip, lightly accented with dill and cumin, nestled gently within a mountain range of crisp, salted, corn tortilla goodness. Every petal of this crispy blossom yearns to be smothered in this tasty salve, uniting at last in a culinary delicacy that not only tides one over before the meat is off the grill, but reminds us all what we can achieve... together."

Still on box. $5

I like how they finished it up with "still on box"

The picture is still on the box? The bowl is still sitting on the box?
