I'm too nice--gave the black bean brownies a second try! Still icky.
Co-worker 1: You need to eat this.
Me: (Silence)
Co-Worker 1: You need to eat this, too.
Co-Worker 2: Okay!
Me: (Silence)
Co-Worker 1: Here you both go! (Hands us densely textured "brownie")
Me: (Silence)
Co-Worker 2: Wow this is good!
Me: (Silence)
Co-Worker 1: Yeah, isn't it!
Co-Worker 2: So good!
Me: You can really taste the beans.
Co-Worker 1: Yeah right, you'd never know that this brownie is made with nothing but cheap brownie mix and black beans, would you?
Co-Worker 2: Oh.
Me: Sorry, still don't like it.
Co-Worker 2: It's really good.
Co-Worker 1: I know! And it's low-fat, low-sugar, low-calorie!
Me: I don't really like low-fat food.
Co-Worker 1: I think everybody likes it. You can't taste the beans, unless you have a "sophisticated" palate.
Me: Sorry. Got one of those. But thanks for letting me try.
Never again do I allow myself to fall victim to a cardboard food disguised as something healthy. Just say no to black bean brownies!
