Cake ethics
 | okay, so tell me what's the deal with this.
every month work buys a cake to celebrate the birthdays that happen in that month. we used to say "happy birthday to X, Y, Z" but i guess someone complained that they didn't like having their birthdays announced. so now it's celebrate all august birthdays! |
anyways, that's not what i want to know about.
what i want to know about is the "first cut" thing. does anyone else do this? there is a full sheet cake sitting on the table for about 30 minutes. an email has gone out to say "happy august birthday! cake in the break room! enjoy!" but the cake just sits there. no one wants to cut it open. no one wants to be the little piggy to take the first piece.
why is that?
i'm totally guilty of it myself. stacey and i walked to the breakroom specifically for cake, we see that it's not open yet, so she makes a beeline for the bathroom and i head for the water cooler.
why? does anyone else do this?
but the better question here is why am i even eating this cake? i don't like this particular supermarket's sheet cakes. they're not horrible, but they're not worth the calories either. this one is decorated harry potter style (those green things are trees i think). is a "chocolate" cake (and buy chocolate they just mean brown colored) and has a giant layer of gritty frosting.
why am i eating this??

those look like weeds to me. don't eat the weeds.
store bought sheet cakes are like the biggest show of lack of sincerity, don't you think? they could at least get the neon colored cupcakes. you know the kind that look like they hired a graffiti artist to spray paint the frosting? of course, i wouldn't eat those, either...
