Im conversation with Jonel at Lunch

First... What do I do while I am on my lunch break at work??? I IM and update my BLOG! How much of a dork am I???

In the midst of trying to find a blog topic Jonell IMs me and she came up with many a topic... for instance...

What is up with holiday flavors of Lattes at Starbucks??? Gingerbread Latte??? How can you really drink a cookie? REALLY! Don't you think it tastes like you were dipping a cookie in milk and then heated up the milk with the crumbs in it and added some instant coffee to it??? SOOO DISGUSTING! I do not understand the beauty of some flavors. Jonel really likes the Pepermint Mocha. Now I am fine with Pepermint... Mint is all good when it is Pepermint. BUT.... When you start using things like Spearmint in your coffee it tastes like you are drinking ans swallowing your gum. Makes me crings. Thats like having things that are bubble gum flavored. Who was raised to swallow their gum??? Then why do you want that flavor in things you eat????

Let's take this further...

How about warning labels on food. Jonel was watching The Sweatest Thing... Great movie by te way... and they two guys towards the end are eating chips and read the bag. The bag says May cause ANAL LEAKAGE! Who would put that on a product???? And lets be serious... is that the most political correct way to describe the potential effects of eating the product??? I would rather eat greasy fatty chips than any chips that say may cause ANAL LEAKAGE!!!! Further more I can believe I am even devoting part of my blog to this! Who out there ever reads the warning labels on their food???

That's like Nutrasweet... isn't that the one that causes cancer in labratory rats and they have to put that on the can of pop it is in??? At what point do they actually have to put it on the product. I mean... if it kills lab cocroaches it is ok but if it kills something in a lab that is bigger than a tennis ball then they have to publish it on the product. Is it a size differential... Bigger than a Tennis ball bad... smaller good??? Then wouldn't you think they would test it on the runts of the litter so that they would not have to taint their product with a warning label???

I really don't think my blogs I write during the day are very intersting. I much more enjoy blogs I write at 3am. I think I am much more tangental at that wee hour of the morning! I could devote a blog to things I have learned at work. Like Pay-per-click advertising. Maybe I will save that until this weekend where I can devote a whole blog to Things I learned my first week at work! That might be fun!
