The Old Standbys
25 Jan
Rhett,
It’s interesting what you said about eating at Subway, because I’ve noticed this in other people as well. For whatever reason, it’s just not a fast food franchise where people mix it up very much — they all tend to go for tried and true flavour combinations. Whenever I’ve strayed from my 12″ Tuna on Italian Herb and Cheese, I’ve been sorely disappointed. Why do you suppose that is?
Regardless, it’s probably why when it came time to get lunch today, I, too, went for an old standby. Feeling too lazy to leave the building, I went to the cafeteria (after promising myself I wouldn’t) and got a Bacon Cheeseburger. At the last minute, I decided against the fries and instead went for a beef soup that tasted like gravy.
Everything came in a disposable Styrofoam container and I ate the soup with a too-small plastic spoon. It was kind of depressing and exactly what I expected. I found it strangely comforting.
Best,
Brendan
