does anyone else think it’s creepy that you don’t have
to refrigerate those tiny half & half thimbles full o’ cream?
i always assumed that the one half is milk,
the other half is cream…
but, there’s a sucker born every minute,
’cause milk and cream need to be refrigerated.
those tiny half&half thimbles are free of that burden.
they just sit there, in a big basket, in the hotel lobby…
no expiration date. no ingredients. no excuses.
like little aliens.
in the food pyramid, they must fall
somewhere between twinkies and pop tarts.
and i, for one, LOVE twinkies and pop tarts!
but that doesn’t help me shake the fear.

a few more questions….
would we live longer if we replaced the worlds
milk supply with half&half thimbles?
i could totally see school kids pounding those
things with lunch… would it preserve them?
also, who’s job is it to handle the liquid they put in
those containers? what does THAT assembly line look like?
it must be lawsuit-city over there…
somebody call erin brockovich!

alright. i’m going to get back to watching ‘van helsing.’
