Very Berry??!! Oy vey! What have we come to?! You know in the alter heim, where I grew up, there was no such thing as cereal. You had to work up a sweat in order to get your food. No such thing as pulling open the pantry, and eating a bowl of cereal.

You had to work hard! And today?! You walk into the grocery and there's literrally an ENTIRE aisle of all types of cereals. Very Berry, Berry Very, Very Berry Cherry, Very Berry Cherry Ferry.. forgive me but I could be here all day if I were to type up all the names of the cereals that line the shelves..

Oy, no wonder this generation doesn't know how to actually work for results..
The proof is in the cereal aisle.

In the black-and-white era where I grew up we had Cheerios.

Plain and simple.

Shoin. Just Cheerios. None of this multigrain, honey-nut, cinnamon, very berry nonsense.

And we were happy. That's what's wrong with today's kids. Too many cereal choices. I'm going to start a petition. ........

Last time I ate at a sushi place, I was tempted to ask the waitress how to use chopsticks. Problem was, she was Asian and I was worried it would be "cultural appropriation" to assume she knew how to use them.

Anyway, I feel your pain.

I have a few soon-to-be patent-pending ideas to solve this crisis.
-sushi gloves: for the sensory among us
-sushi tongs (shaped as 2 conjoined chopsticks): for the wannabes among us
-sushi pop sticks: for the trendsetters among us

I'm applying to Shark Tank and Biz Tank and Fish Tank so wish me luck!

Yay

I'm so excited you're on here with your wise ideas!!

I'll vote for sushi gloves. Just don't make it smelly and floury. Good luck on your application to the shark tank and biz tank and fish tank!! I cannot wait to see this on the cover of the New York Times.

Can I buy the first pop sticks on Kickstarter?

It wouldn't be cultural appropriation for you to ask her, it would be cultural appropriation for you to use them, apparently...........

So a picture of a chossid eating sushi with chopsticks is going to be the next cultural insensitivity scandal on Twitter (don't say I didn't warn you)

Therefore, your product is very timely.

Why, thank you! I will definitely forward your advice to the appropriate department for consideration.

As far as publishing, I am aiming for a feature article on The Onion. Same league as the NYT but far more interesting.

Good point! I will have to redo my Twitter ad.

My mother, mother in law and assorted relatives, former teachers and service providers are all vying for that first spot. How about #1567?

Well, would it be considered an assur swim for pleasure (since I'd get sushi out of it), or a permissible swim for instruction or exercise?

Fair point. Ok, I will let you have it. That will actually solve all my problems, because nobody fights over the second spot.

Nah.. old folks like me can't learn new tricks.

My grandfather was actually the one who taught me how to use chopsticks, so you never know!
