Moment of Change
So the other night I was on the way home from the BF's house and I drove past the gas station and saw "$.99" up on their electronic board. I was really confused and of course too far away to read what was next to it but started wondering "cigarettes can't be $.99 there is no way" (I don't smoke so I wasn't excited that's for sure!). They had got rid of the advertisement for cigarettes on their electronic board and were now advertising coffee I was so happy to see this! It was a moment of change to see this, granted I have no idea how long this may have been changed. I saw this at my local Super America just curios if anyone else has noticed it anywhere either? Also do you think less people are smoking and it's better to advertise the price of coffee than cigarettes now?
School Lunch
Ok so this year at DCTC they redid the lunch room food selection. They gave us more options at the "grill" and took away just about everything else (like chips and candy bars). I'm not sure if they are trying to make us more healthy or what but you can get like hamburgers, sandwiches, and pizza. Now I'm not a fast food eater never have been and never plan on it, but I also don't eat hamburgers and I only eat ham in sandwiches so I'm picky, get over it! Anyway I tried the grilled cheese sandwich on Tuesday it was the "basket" (came with fries and a fountain pop for an extra $1.99). The sandwich itself wasn't too bad they slapped on a slice of american cheese singles to each side of my white bread (they asked if I wanted wheat...no thank you), they cut it in half threw it in a paper tray topped it off with some fries that had been sitting under the heat lamp since who knows when I grabbed my drink paid the $5.00 and went back to class. Like I said the sandwich wasn't too bad, I would probably get that again but the fries weren't very good and when I looked around for salt to put on them they didn't have any! WHAT! No salt on fries is unheard of! So today I decided I didn't want to pay the $5.00 and I wasn't feeling the grilled cheese so I thought I would try something different. I choose the pizza sticks.....3 bread sticks filled with cheese that they threw in the deep fryer (healthy?) and a side of marinara sauce. Its now been sitting in front of me for about 10-15mins and I think i have finished half of one.... I have to say I would not get these again! They taste like a deep fryer and grease EWW no thanks. Debating what to do with the rest, I will probably just throw them out at the end of class sadly. I'm that person that if it doesn't taste good and I know it's not healthy for me anyway I'm probably not gonna eat/finish it. (I will put up pictures later)
