I cassava your problem (This really bad pun will make sense further into this post):
In the market, I look around as my items are being scanned. The woman behind me is holding a bag of Siete Tortilla Chips. Her eyes are close to the the bag as she reads it. She turns the bag over to read the other side.
Me: Those are really good.
Her: I’m having people over, so…
Me: They’re the best grain-free tortilla chips I’ve had.
She’s looking closer at the chip ingredients.
Her: Really?
I nod. And put my card in the payment slot.
Her: So what’s cassava flour?
Me: Some sort of root vegetable flour.
She gives me an odd look. Is it skepticism? What does she think, I’m some sort of covert cassava operative?
I finish my payment.
Her: See, if they ARE good then I’ll eat them.
Me: Oh? Well…
Her: I don’t want something I’ll want to eat.
I look back at her, as I push my cart away.
Me: Well…
I don’t know whether to say–“Enjoy” or “Good luck” or…? I’m perplexed how to end this odd moment.
Her: If I eat these… I’m blaming (she points at me) YOU.
Man, I didn’t see that situation happening. I thought I was being helpful.
Note: I found this image of Veronica from the Archie Comics. So I think it’s pretty funny that, afterward, when I went to find a link about Siete Tortilla Chips, I noticed this interesting story about the founders is written by Veronica Garza. She’s co-founder & president of Siete.
No, I’m not a Siete covert operative, trying to slickly plug their product. But I do like the chips and now even more after reading the Siete family business story, here.
