Wine is a food now
A transcript of a conversation overheard in a liquor store:
"What's that?"
"What's what?"
"Do they accept benefits here now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look at that thing." (He points at what I can clearly see is a credit card reader)
"What thing?"
"That thing there." (Points again)
"Oh. Yeah, I guess they must."
"Wow."
"Yeah, (sounding more confident) 'cause wine is a food now."
"What?"
"Yeah. You know, they're all talking about how healthy it is for you. And now it's like a food."
"Awesome."
"You know, all the anti-oxidants and whatever."
"Yeah."
"Healthy stuff. They're always telling you, you know, that you should drink more wine."
"Awesome."
"I wish I was on benefits."
"What's that?"
"What's what?"
"Do they accept benefits here now?"
