artificial goodness
i really love fruit roll ups. i always have. i don't care if they are practically plastic and pumped with numbered dyes. i have eaten many a roll and let me tell you they need to pay those kids more. i don't know how hard it is to slap the fruit on the plastic and then roll it in one direction so the eater can un roll it easily but i guess it's hard. i'd say out of every 4 fruit roll ups 2 are misrolled. many times the situation is that you unroll it and then halfway through the plastic is jacked and you have to unroll it from the other direction. now i know in the grand scheme of life this is a minor complaint but it's major to me. also they often print things on the fruit that you are supposed to lick. that's kinda gross. in one box we got tongue tats and in another we got fortunes. yeah like i'm going to believe a fortune i found on a fruit snack especially when it says "tomorrow you will wear a tutu to school". however with me that could happen..if i still went to school. i must say of all the flavors i like the tropical one the best. (it's the multi colored one) but those don't come in the jumbo boxes at safeway. on wikipedia i found this statement "Often the consumer must unwrap the cellophane an extra revolution in order to remove the snack due to its tendency to stick to itself." bull crap. maybe general mills foods should hire some better quality control or upgrade the machines. patrick has stated that all fruit roll ups taste the same to him. he is so wrong. just like how i like certain m&ms better than others. no they don't really taste different but in my mind they do.

song lyrics of the day:
i got my twin glock, 40s, cocked back
me and my hommies, so drop that
we rollin on 20s, with the top back
so much money, you can't stop that

i hate fruit roll ups. but when i was teaching preschool, fruit roll ups were often the afternoon snack. and yes about half of them would stick to each other and be hard to open. dumb.

and i think m&m's are different tasting. they have to have the right ratio of chocolate/peanut/candy coating. and don't even get me started about the ones that have bad peanuts in them.

peanut m&ms are my preference. green and yellow are my favorite.
