Trade In Your Breakfast For This Dannon Frusion Smoothie!
hello, yes. you can trade in your breakfast. just try it. this weekend i had the pleasure of going to Whole Foods for the first time. well, it wasn't the first time really - i went and dropped off 6 bundles of duct wrap while it was being constructed, but at that point, it was a hulking empty buliding with nothing but spiral ductwork running above. no walls, no paint, and no people. but not anymore. Whole Foods has opened, and much to the delight of everyone in Baton Rouge as all 250,000 of its residents were crammed into the store this weekend. It's like an organic Wal-Mart. It's what Sam Walton would have envisioned had he been a hippie. Bright, colorful, and kind of weird. The second i walked in, i was ready to leave. I don't know what it is about this town, but as soon as something new opens - everyone and their mother flocks to see it. literally. i saw a lot of people and thier mothers in there. Ultimately it was kind of neat. There's sandwich bars, sushi bars, pizza bars. All of it organic. In fact, even the walls are probably biodegradable. I just don't know why all the people were in there. I was like "Call Whole Foods. Tell them to build one of these on the south side of town IMEDIATELY! Get some of these people out of here". This is in the new Town Centre shopping land by my house. If anything, this new structure has increased my property value. And it's fun if you're bored with the new Olive Garden on Seigen, or you're finally tired of the Shaw Center and the Tsunami patio. but in the end, Whole Foods is like a grocery store in which you can't buy everything you need. one thing i did need was dog and cat food. after searching for the Gravy Train or Wiskahs, i finally realized i was going to have to buy something made with corn starch and grains or something. Zeke looked at his for awhile and eventually realized it was all that would be served and grudgingly ate it. "Just Cat" (named by Emily) opted for grass or something, but the ants were all about it. but maybe we can learn a thing or two from out pets. Preservatives are pretty damned good sometimes. unfortunately, i was never able to trade in my breakfast for a Dannon Frusion smoothie. Whole Foods does not carry it.
