Snickers

I just finished the most disgusting protein bar in the world. This last Saturday, Emily and I went to Penera to eat. She was meeting a friend to go shopping and I told her that I wanted to go to the Vitamin Shoppe, EB Games, and Life Way Christian Bookstore. She replied, "Really?!?!" Kind of offended I retorted rather emphatically, "Yes!" and continued to explain myself saying, "I would like to find something for a meal replacement at the Vitamin Shoppe and look at videogames that are coming out. Also sense I am here, I would like to look at Life Way for a book I have wanted to read." I think she was still confused because none of these activities are very typical of me. Just in case I didn't want to do any of these things, I brought along NT Wright to keep me company whilst I drank my coffee. So the time came for her to leave me off at the shopping complex. I have to say, I had a flash back to life when I was at the prepubescent stage of adolescence feeling much like a kid does when his mom drops him off. Any way, I sat and drank my coffee reading a chapter of Paul in Fresh Perspective. After this, I went to the Vitamin Shoppe to buy things I didn't need. I was greeted by one of the "Helpful" workers that advised me to buy protein bars and vitamins that I didn't need. He told me how, "This is going to be great for you because it has ribosomes and electrodentine." He was so enthusiastic that I believed him. If it wasn't for the fact that he added in "This protein bar tastes just like a Snicker's bar" I don't think I would have gotten three of them…but I did. I planned out that I was going to eat one of these "Snicker's" bars at three o'clock on Monday. Yesterday it was 2:53 and I could already taste the sweet deliciousness that comes with the experiential moment that embodies a Snickers. The delectable chocolate covered…whatever it is. 3:00 a grabbed the bar, opened up the wrapper, and took a huge bite. At first, I thought to myself "Hmm this is different". That was the last thing I thought before gagging. Probably the most disgusting "Snicker's" bar I had ever tasted. Sure, "Taste just like a Snicker's bar" if it had stayed out in the sun for 5 years, picked up and thrown in the freezer for another 14 years, then buried in dog food and finally eaten…maybe then it would have tasted like what was in my mouth. Today, I had the second of the three "Snicker's" bars. One more to go…one more to go.
