Everything is bigger...

Everything is bigger in Texas…




They say that everything is bigger and better in Texas. I was reminded of this today when I went looking for a snack. Here at work we have a snack shack where for under a dollar you can satisfy any of your latest cravings. They have everything from fruit to snickers to a coke (or pop) if you are thirsty.

I decided that I was leaning on the sweeter side of things this morning so I reached for a cinnamon roll. Here is what I found…

At first, my Texas pride swelled up inside me. YEAH!! A taste of home!! I thought for sure as soon as I bit into this BIG TEXAS Cinnamon roll I would be flooded with emotions and memories of days gone by. However, my first instinct was … really… Texas… I’m disappointed. Once I got past the first bite and discovered the slightest bit of icing to cover the cardboard tasting “roll” there was a brief feeling of satisfaction. But it was very brief… I thought to myself… surly the middle will make up for the rest (Everyone knows that the middle is the best part of the cinnamon roll) however, it was just more solid cardboard. Anyways, I ate it all. (Heaven forbid I waist $.50!!) It was a disappointment and for the FIRST time possibly EVER I was disappointed that I claimed to be a Texan.

There are some things that make Texas a great place to live… But Texas you have let me down this once… Please find a way to redeem yourself … today if possible!

((((Texas has been redeemed... it was made in Chicago, Illinois!! ))))
