So it's mid afternoon, and I was hungry, not surprising considering I didn't eat much of my lunch. So I go down to the vending machine to fetch a candy bar. After all this is the United States of America and what do people eat at 3pm on their afternoon breaks? (well not that it's really a break but you know cause I'm salaried and we don't get breaks---there's got to be a blog entry in that somewhere) We eat candy bars, or chips. So I went down to take my chances at the machine. I swipe my card and start perusing the machine. Candy is on the bottom, searching, searching..... Nope all too sweet, I dismiss the bottom three rows. Maybe chips. I start at the top eew; guac chips, Doritos, Frito's, Cheeto's (maybe), not sweet enough.. I scan the forlorn row in the middle row. Row C home of weird beef and cheese stick things, and Animal Crackers. YAY! Animal crackers those have real possibility, crunchy not too sweet. But what's that next to them? It's not the usual crappy nut and fruit mix, it's brightly colored. It has banana chips! I love banana chips, yes I know they're all processed and I may as well have eaten the candy bar. And Dried Cherries. It's like somebody read my snacking mind. I push the button C5. Then I notice. Organic. Hmm... This seems like a plot.

the label from a multi-packScanning the bag on the way back to my desk...I've been tricked, the shiny packaging the bright colors, it's all a plot! There's nothing bad for me in this bag; nothing, well some tiny amount of organic coconut oil, 3 calories worth. I practically burned that off on my way to the vending machine. Who are these people sneaking fruit into my day! I'm offended. They tricked me into buying a healthy afternoon snack. It's positively Un-American!

So I try them. They're good. I'll buy them again. DARN THEM!

Also the machine has the mango pineapple variety too. I don't like mango though.
