4060

I hate broccoli.

Not to eat. No I like it. It's tasty. It's fun looking cause it kind of looks like trees from any early Nintendo games. (Which hello! Artichokes? Totally looks like the tube monsters in Mario!)

Why do I hate it?

It makes my wet wall so freaking dirty! Oh my god. The vegetable by nature will produce filth galore but with humans added, good lord. Everyone breaks the stalks off, which technically people you are NOT supposed to do, and leaves them. Just snap and throw. Hey thanks! Cause I really wanted to clean up all that! Eat it you buttheads it's good for you. It drives me nuts when I get in in the morning and half the level of broccoli is just the stems.

Another reason I hate it. How it comes packaged. In a box with a bunch of holes in it and oh, they pack it in a frigging ice pack the Arctic would be jealous of. So it's freezing to touch cause you have to get you're ice pick out to free it (not really. It's just crushed ice). Then it leaks all over the floor so you have to spend a long time wiping it up so someone doesn't bust a hip. And it seems like every time I roll some broc out on to the floor 12 people ask me questions or want me to move so they can get something and the only think I can think of is how my tiny trees are about to make a swamp out of my department if I don't get the boxes out of there.

I hate things packed in ice. Like, seriously, hate. It drives me nuts. Why?! WHY DO YOU PACK IT IN ICE?! This isn't the stone age or 1911 for that matter. We have a *gasp* cooler!

Fun fact: Iceberg lettuce got its name from being packed in ice when shipped from California. Yeah. You're welcome for that trivia.



Oh and why 4060 as the title? It's the PLU for broccoli. Duh.
