Feeling Fruity

Tweet

I went to the grocery store yesterday with The Sister. I didn't need a lot of things, but I picked up a few things that struck my fancy. Today, I noticed a pattern in the items I chose. There were: Strawberry Shredded Mini-Wheats Blueberry Poptarts Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream Nuts and Raisins Trail Mix snack bars Obviously, I had a yen for fruit yesterday. Funny thing is, I didn't buy any real fruit at all, just fruit-flavored things. Oh, I looked at the bananas, but then thought how they would just increase the fruit fly population that I am so desperately trying to rid myself of. Well there's a little fruit in the trail mix snack bars. The thing is, I realized that once opened, the fruit flies might well be drawn to the strawberry cereal. It smells like strawberries. Oh, not real strawberries or anything - it smells like those chemically strawberry-flavored artificial strawberries. But hey, they're only fruit flies. And they're not that picky. So even with pretend fruit, I have to seal it up tightly. I should have just bought the bananas.
