Try it for yourself

Recently, the company I work for relocated their office to this gigantic building that used to be some sort of warehouse right off the west side highway in Chelsea. There are plenty of neat things about it, including the view and the fact that there is a cafeteria on the 8th floor.

The cafeteria is pretty good, considering they are a cafeteria - carry a ton of flavors of vitamin water, assorted naked juice, spicy thai chips, organic this and that. Today, in search of a snack, I picked up something called a “Think Green Superfood Bar.” I thought it was a good idea, it wasn’ t too big, the packaging was pretty, and the print on the side reeled me in hook line and sinker:

I was all gung ho till I ripped open the packaging- the bar looked like animal turd of some sort. I couldn’t find a photo of it online (obviously, the company itself is not going to post that up, nobody would buy it!) Like something my sixty five pound black lab dropped on the front lawn, someone ran by and scooped up and reshaped into a bar, and packaged in a pretty wrapper. A bit daunted, I cautiously took a small bite. It wasn’t god awful, but it was pretty terrible. If it hadn’t cost me two dollars, I would have thrown it out. But seeing as it DID cost two dollars, I ate the whole damn thing on principle alone. It wasn’t the tastiest snack, but at least I wasn’t hungry anymore. Too bad I forgot to take a photo.

I think next time I’ll just try a Luna bar.
