Pop Rocks
Pop Rocks and Humidity go together like baking soda and vinegar. Before you begin to open the package you can here the little bastards popping and crackling inside. Once it’s opened and you pour the pop rocks into your hand, one big chunk is pasted to the wrapper and won’t slide out. After managing to tear the package apart and pull out the goods, you’re stuck with a lifeless jumbo pop rock that can’t be removed from your hand. Now this all happened to me at my desk next to the educational office workers so, needless to say, I felt like quite a spazz licking my palm clean from the sour goodness of my Pop Rock. Thanks mom! I’m sure this will be a hit with the students. If English isn’t going to be hard enough, they’re going to have an English teacher trying to kill them with toxic American candy.

i will switch to pop rocks. today after my horrific lunch i tried to sneak a cookie. too bad the cookie was covered in chocolate and had melted in the “air-conditioned” teachers room. an hour later i found i had dried chocolate on my hand, my wrist and my face.
maybe they think this an american custom…i guess they wouldn’t be totally wrong.
