I did the grocery shopping on the way home tonight. The supermarket was out of one particular product, so I had to buy a competitor's version. Home again, I unpacked the groceries and read the spiel on the back of my new product. 'Now even better!' it says. 'And our secret ingredient? Air' (their bolding). Super. I love paying for air. It's not like I could get it into the product for free just by leaving it out of the packaging.
Can you guess what the product is just from the rest of the paragraph?
[We have] developed a unique technology that makes [our product] even [better]. Using high temperatures and strong air currents, we've found a way to infuse [our product] with tiny pockets of air.
( Did you guess? )
While I was waiting in the checkout queue, I flipped through a magazine, which had an article about some tasty and nutritious snacks that a person could have instead of, say, a Kit Kat. Most of them were indeed tasty sounding (although I wasn't sure about 'a slice of turkey and some grapes', because it seems like a slightly eccentric combination). One suggestion, though, was the most depressing food photo I've ever seen. It was so pale and sad. Who - who? - would willingly, voluntarily eat as a feel-good mid-afternoon pick-me-up snack a single witlof(/endive) leaf filled with a scoop of part-skim ricotta? My taste buds would be primed for disappointment.
