They Should Come With Warning Labels

Yesterday, just before leaving for work I decided to continue with my healthy eating trends and take some trailmix to work to snack on instead of driving-through a local fastfood eatery or some other equally unhealthy food establishment. I've enjoyed this particular brand of trailmix in the past but have always thought that a few extra raisins couldn't hurt. I decided to add a few raisins myself from my little box o' raisins I had purchased (also in an effort to eat more healthily) but wanted to make sure they were not going to come out in clumps as they tend to do. I grab the box of raisins, take the lid off to check the current level and clumpy factor, and decide that the three-quarters full box of clumpy raisins needs some unclumping. I place the lid back on and begin to shake the box vigorously in order to unclump them raisins. Maybe I underestimated my own strength, but after a few good shakes I could hear the raisins loosening up and I smiled to myself with great pride realizing that my grand scheme was working better than planned. Just as I had this thought I gave the box another shake or two and I could feel the lid slipping off the top. It happened so quickly that I couldn't stop myself and a few extra shakes was more than enough to eject the raisins. I was met with a beautiful rainbow shower of raisins cascading all over the kitchen. On the stove. On the countertop. On the floor. On me. Everywhere.


The moral of the story is don't eat healthy. Or at least use caution when eating healthy. Or just don't be an idiot. Either way, they were delicious.
