While
shopping for items to fill the gift bag for the senior citizen I adopted for
Christmas, I chanced upon something in the dollar store my hands could not
resist. While I was buying gifts like puzzle books, toiletries, cookies and
pudding cups I turned a corner and there were the Cracker Jacks.
Wahoo!
What a deal! Three small boxes banded together for only $1.00! I couldn’t wait
to get back to the office. Around mid-afternoon I tore the box open, poured the
contents on a paper plate and commenced to noshing.
They
were NOT as good as I remember.
#1
none of the peanuts had candy coating
#2
much of the candy coating tasted like slightly burned sugar
#3
the prize was a cheesy piece of paper with a baseball trivia fact.
I
sat at my desk in misery knowing I couldn’t pick my teeth in the office. I
remained miserable until the public was gone from view.
Where did I put that floss?
