Think Pink!

09.09.2004 - 8:21 a.m.

Times were that the ideal meal laid before me would have been a piping hot bowl of Kraft mac n cheese, an orange, a side bowl of cheetos, and a cool bottle of Sunkist to wash it all down.

Don't get me wrong, orange foods will always be near and dear to my heart, but I must say that right now....I'm totally pink.

The revelation came to me while munching on some Circus Animals at work - the intense UV lighting of an office environment really accents the unnatural pinkness of the frosting - and I knew then that this boy was a smitten kitten.

Now I go out of my way to get that strawberry shake at Mickey D's, or to dig through that bowl of starbursts for "the pink one". Or to cut into that steak at Outback to ensure, yes, it is indeed extra-extra rare! (okay, not so much on that last one.)

Pink fashion may wax and wane, but pink foods are in boys and girls, so have some Circus Animals today and wash it down with a pink nestles Quick.
