I love writing about minute annoyances, if you haven't already guessed...
I rarely eat muffins, but today I felt like eating one. I should have learned from the last time I bought one of those "Healthy Delites" (argh!!! never trust a muffin that can't spell) and I split the fucking thing open because I don't trust deli muffins, even if they are vegan, and found tiny, questionable blue specks...and no, it wasn't a blueberry muffin. It also had that...taste. Kind of like the smell of rotting pumpkin. Know what I mean? Deeeeeep inside the worst of all muffins, sometimes you will taste that. Why, because the muffin isn't fresh and yes, although the date CLAIMS it's good until 7/29, WHY OH WHY should you be eating a week-old muffin??!! When there are bakeries aplenty? Why, because when you're in a rush to make it to work on time, you're into one-stop shopping. Also, there are not a ton of options that are within walking distance in DUMBO.
So, yeah, another muffin tossed in the trash immediately.
This is also why I don't ever buy those premade vegetarian sandwiches either. If you live in NYC you know which ones I am talking about. Once, because I am THAT way, I opened the sandwich to inspect the insides. Not only did I find woefully limp/mushy lettuce leaves, but there was MOLD. UGH UGH UGH. The date claimed it was good for two more days.
WHO, pray tell, determines these fucking dates?
SO...I am only buying fresh from now on, or nothing at all. Fuck this stale/rancid overpriced shit.
