Spin-mister goes with the flow ...

This almost came titled as an annoyance, but I decided to put a spin on it. You know like the spin-misters do?

Last night, my favorite grocery store was teeming with shoppers. Yea! Business for them, tolerance builder for me (spin one). I was on a popcorn mission, and the popcorn aisle was also teeming with its fair share of those business bringing/tolerance building shoppers. I did what I detest others to do (and nothing I would usually do -- can I get a witness of me going with the flow), I reached over some woman's head (she was short -- sorry shorter people than me, but she was shorter than me) for a specific box of popcorn where the specific popcorn I always buy always belongs. I then went on my merry way.

Today, I realized that the popcorn I pinched from above that short(er) lady's head wasn't the popcorn I have grown to love and pledged my popcorn allegiance to. It was the same brand, just not the same model. This was the lesser improved low fat, low sodium sort. I don't mind the lower fat, because my favorite popcorn is fairly low in fat, but what is the point of eating low sodium popcorn? None if you ask me, because I eat popcorn as a supposedly healthier substitute for chips. It's the crunch and salt which I'm after. Rather than give into annoyance, I decided to go with the flow and make the best of that low fat, low sodium popcorn. The cool thing is that going with that flow gave another annoyance a break (spin two).

I am often annoyed by my microwave popcorn button feature. You know the button that is marked "popcorn" and supposedly determines the proper weight of your popcorn bag and then smartly decides the proper cooking time. Yeah that one, it disappoints me every popcorn popping time. If I use the popcorn feature, it always leaves me with an unreasonable amount of unpopped kernels of my yummy popcorn, and that often annoys me. However, since I ended up with the lesser improved low fat, low sodium version of popcorn, I could only rejoice that I didn't have as much of it to eat! Only three more bags to go!!! How's that for going with the flow by giving it a little spin?
