grocery surprise

[cellio]

Recently I was surprised to find edamame for sale in a local grocery store. Score! This seems like a food that would be easy to take to work for lunch.

Tonight I opened a bag to find that it contained sub-bags. Boo for the packaging waste! But still, edamame... yum.

Then I pulled one out and saw the packaging. I don't know whether to be amused or disturbed. I do know that it is likely to affect just how I take this to work. :-)

Yeah, that's the latest thing they are pushing at kids.

It doesn't work too well, either.

On the kids, you mean?

I had to use a knife to get the pouch open, too. I guess kids use teeth.

I tried this trick on mine with Dora the Explorer.

Not happening. Daddy shouldn't play tricks like that. :P

Kids should learn to use knives, then. I hate bits of plastic in my teeth.

At home, definitely. Putting a knife into the lunch pail for school, probably not -- might well get the kid expelled.
