How Willy Wonka, tell me just how do you justify taking the seeds out of the watermelon taffy? Not cool, man. Not cool. I mean, one day everything is going along just fine, and then you have to change things? Why? For heaven's sakes why stop a good thing? I'm sure it took more work to get rid of the seeds. It would've been easier for them just to leave the seeds, and obviously the consumers still want the seeds. I mean, really, did the seed demand go away? No. That would be stupid. No way.
Since I'm complaining about corporations I think this will be an appropriate time be bring up a theory of mine. I like to call it the Variety Pack Conspiracy. Have you ever noticed that you'll get a big variety pack, for sake of example let's just say it's a 24 pack of drumstick ice creams cones, and the flavor ratio seems unbalanced? So, like, maybe it's a 24 pack, and it has 3 different flavors. But instead of giving you 8 cones of each flavor, a nice, fair distribution, they give you like 20 vanilla, 2 chocolate, and 2 caramel. And that's just not cool, buying a 24 pack for heaven sakes, and only getting 2 chocolate. What if you have a fat uncle who likes to eat all the chocolates, before you even get home from school and have a chance to look through the variety pack? Now, I completely understand if you go to a party, and they ordered like 20 pizzas, and they get maybe 10 cheese and 10 pepperoni. Yeah, it would've been nice to see some supreme, but the party hosts were playing it safe and going with the obvious crowd favorites. But when a business is selling a variety pack, they should distribute the flavors better. That's all I'm trying to say, folks. And it's not drumsticks. Creamies, candy bars, "childs play" bags of candy. They're all part of the conspiracy. But I have to ask, is that really even a good business strategy for them? Are they hoping that everyone does have a fat uncle who's gonna eat all the chocolate drumsticks, so then the foolish child, blinded by his rage, goes and buys 24 more ice cream cones, just for the 2 cones he wants from the pack? I digress.

(I should probably stop reading other people's blogs right before I try and write on mine. Because, well, this is probably gonna sound rude, but often it discourages me. I'm thinking "yeah, I'm gonna post, this is gonna be great" - and a few moments later I'm all "........blogging... isn't... that... cool." I guess I just get sick of the all the beatles references, or comments about Jason Mraz, or pictures of kids doing arts and crafts with captions that say "my niece is the coolest kid in the world", or having to listen to their playlists of crappy music that automatically play when you visit their page, or seeing phrases like "just a girl trying to dance her way through life" - what does that mean though, really? - or the classic "sorry I haven't posted in a while." Anyway. Sorry. I think I hit the nail on the head there, a while ago actually. You get the point. I hope that I avoid most of those cliches here.)
So I found out tonight most of my teachers are planning on holding classes during finals week. It's a bit of a drag, but no big deal. I thought next week was my last week, but I have two more weeks. This and the above paragraph were originally from a different post, titled Anticipation of Summer, Part 2, but I saved it as a draft and ended up adding it here.
Okay, this has gotten out of control. I meant for this to be a simple post, just about seedless taffy, and now it's getting dangerously close to the territory of a mega post.
So, I'll be off to bed now. Keep doing that thing you do.
Until next time,
-pe
