Does your desk have a snack drawer?

Posted on November 21, 2019 By admin

A Portuguese co-worker’s visiting family restocked me with low-sugar high-fiber granola bars with coffee and chocolate (!!!!). They’re available in Switzerland, but at three times the price so I use my network strategically.

In a parallel conversation, another co-worker was asking me why I could eat those granola bars, but not ones he’d just offered me:

Conversation went something like this:

Me – I can’t eat those, they have nuts in them.
Suttipong – Do they? I didn’t see any in the ingredients.
Me – See? Right there! (now keep in mind that the ingredient list is printed in such a way as to take up the whole back side of the packaging)
Suttipong – It’s so small!
Me – It’s written in bold and underlined!

Quote of the day

It was a puzzle why things were always dragged kicking and screaming. No one ever seemed to want to, for example, lead them gently by the hand.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
