Regrettably, This Picture Exists And I Like Poor People Candy And Big Gulps
My pal Kmarko and I went on a little candy run. What did I get? Oh. Just a big gulp cherry coke and a caramello bar. I’ve always loved caramello. The gooey nature of that caramel just gets me going. It’s perfect. 99 percent of the time when I buy a candy bar, it’s gonna be a caramello. The other one percent is a payday. I love payday bars. I readily admit those are for poor people. I like them though.
Anyway, when Keith and I got back on the elevator, he started cracking up.
“Chaps. What the fuck did you buy? hahhaha what is that? Who buys a big gulp and not just a big gulp… a super big gulp?”
Uhh I dunno. People who enjoy a bargain? People who are thirsty. People who arent allowed to drink cokes at home because they are putting on a little and I want to stress that… a little bit of weight. Big gulps are still a food deal. Fountain drink soda is the best soda.
I sat down at my desk and thought that was the end of the candy run talk. Ellie came over and supported my Big Gulp and enjoyed a square of my carmello bar as a gift for her kindness. Kate came over and asked if Keith, me, and John wanted to go to dinner. She mentioned that we could go somewhere cheap if I was having money problems… because of the Big Gulp. Nate laughed. We all laughed. I laughed but I was hurt. I had never been 7/11 shamed before.
Keith asked if he could take a picture of me to document the trip for our friendship scrapbook that he keeps. It’s a nice book. It has lots of good pictures of a lot of great times. This time was different. I looked terrible. I felt terrible and people on the internet were being mean when they responded to the tweet. Let’s take a look inside the minds of these hurtful people whom I have already forgiven.
