While going down the cookie/sweets lane in the local Schnucks (A supermarket for those who don’t know what it is), I noticed sugar-free cookies by Murray Sugar Free Cookies. While normally cookies are a bad thing for me, being diabetic, I saw these as a good way of getting my cookie hunger down. So being the curious person that I am, I read the nutrition information. One thing I noticed was this line: “*EXCESS CONSUMPTION MAY HAVE A LAXATIVE EFFECT.” Hmm. So I looked up the ingredient that causes this, which turned out to be Polydextrose. Apparently it’s a “body-filler” and gives food a better “feel” in your mouth. It’s not digested, so therefore I can see how it has a “laxative” effect. You know, I don’t think I have such a craving for cookies after all. :)

Then there was this cashier who was just plain scary. I was just all kinds of creeped out. So I will now call her “creepy cashier person”.

Oh and consequently, “Willow” (I call her Willow because she looks like Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is back to work there.
