Peanuts

NOW EVEN MORE DELICIOUS! it screams at me in big, bright red letters on my favorite brand of peanuts. Filled with anxiety I place the bag with dry roasted peanuts in my blue schopping basket. What did they change? Do I still like them..?

[ they haven't added even more salt did they..?! ]

	On bag old style, one new...

Luckily I had an (old) package of peanuts at home, from before the taste change. A quick glance ar the list of ingredients dit not yield any change. Same ingredients, same taste would say...

[ this calls for a thorough investigation... ]

Filled with anticipation, I opened the package of the new and improved taste this evening. I took one, but didn't taste anything different. I took a handful; still no new taste experience. I had a close look at one of the peanuts. It still looked like a dry, scriffeled up peanut, not very likely to come first (or second) in any beaty contest.

But what was the difference between the old and the new taste..? Again I took it upon me to study the packaging, in particular the new line of red text on the yellow background. At first I had asumed that the text was printed on the package, but at closer inspection I realized it was a big sticker.



After some tearing at the corners, I managed to peal of the sticker. Now I had a package of the old and loved dry roasted peanuts in my hands: not the EVEN MORE DELICIOUS stuff, just the old and familiar taste.



I came to the conclusion that the package should have said: NOW WITH A BRIGHT STICKER!
