re: Truly minor food pet peeves

When I was young, we had sugar. If you went to a restaurant and wanted to sweeten your drink, you had sugar as your option. Printed on the packets were nifty cars and boats for whatever reason, and I have no idea why they did that. It's sort of like putting the picture of a baby's head on something I'm going to wipe my arse with (toilet paper)...makes no sense.

Yes, I understand that sugar does not dissolve easily in tea for instance, but I want to box the ears of every whippersnapper who demands exactly one yellow, two blue and 5/8s of a pink packet in order to enjoy their cancerous drink.



Of course, why should I care? I'm not the one drinking it. I'm merely old and bitter. Perhaps a bit of pink would sweeten me up.
