I like Pirates (arr). I like Cheddar. I like popcorn.
I thought I would like Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar something-or-other. It doesn’t say popcorn. I don’t know why I thought it was popcorn. It says puffed rice and corn. But, I didn’t read that before opening the bag.
I got this sample in the mail. I was psyched. Free food! Yes! (did I mention I am doing EA Active because I need to lose weight? No? I will just talk about eating then. Forget I said anything.)
So, I open up this bag of what I think is going to be oh-so-yummy white cheddar popcorn. Nope. It is puffed… looks like packing peanuts. Don’t panic (I tell myself this). It might be good. Umm, not sure. Well, not bad but definitely not what I had in mind. I started reading the bag… I know, brilliant!
This stuff is good for me! Blech. What was I thinking?
To give credit where credit is due though, Pirate’s Booty is pretty good for being good for me. I wish I had saved some for Johnny. Oh yes, I ate it all because, well it isn’t something I am going to crave the next 3 days but it’s not bad. It was a small bag; give me a break! Oh, back to Johnny. He would have liked it. I should have saved some for him.
Moral of the story: Read before you eat. Don’t assume something is going to be bad because it is good for you. Don’t assume something is going to be good because it has “pirate”, “booty” or “cheddar” written on it. Save food for little whiny kids who will no doubt want a snack at least a hundred times tomorrow and you don’t have anything new to give them and what they eat every.single.day is no longer appealing. That kid. So hard to please. Don’t know where he gets that from…
