Warning: Muddled Thinking Ahead April 26, 2008
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , 2commentsThe other day I read an essay by Peggy Noonan about changes she sees in America and how we perceive the major political candidates.
Well, I guess that article has been fermenting or something in the back of my mind. Because tonight when I fixed ice cream sundaes for Devastatingly Handsome and myself, I found myself thinking, “Peggy’s wrong. The real problem in America that no candidate is addressing is that Hershey syrup no longer comes like this:
but now comes like this:
I fear America’s greatest days are over.”
Now, what is that all about, anyhow? I guess the plastic must be cheaper. But surely the can is just as recycleable? and easier to store? and you could say harder to empty but then, has anyone really minded using a rubber scraper and licking the last bits that clung to the can walls? or is it because the can is too intolerant and inflexible?
Sigh. It just doesn’t taste as good out of a squeeze bottle.
