Forgetting Where Foods Come From

I was standing in front of the vending machine the other day trying to decide between chips or candy bars. Such important decisions confront me daily when I have to go into the office.

The didn’t have Hershey’s bars so I was leaning toward chips. One of them was a bag of Cheddar flavored chips. I love cheddar flavored chips on the rare occasions that I eat non-Cheetos chips. Then I noticed that the chips were not just cheddar flavored. They were cheddar baked potato. I said gross and bought a candy bar instead.

As I was walking back to my desk, I realized that all potato chips are basically baked potato flavored since they are made from potatoes.

Then I realized that every time Giggles may not be so strange to constantly be telling us that some food she has never tasted is gross.

And then I realized that I’m basically as mature as a 5-year old with the added benefit of my parents not being able to tell me what I have to eat anymore.

D00D, sounds like you need a long vacation–this is the second time you’ve confounded Geetle with Gig!

Quick, hide this from D! Don’t let him think his picky eating logic is sound!
D is 26 years old and has NEVER eaten a sandwich. Not even once. Or a salad.
Why?
“Because all that stuff mixed together looks nasty.”
