Whoppers are disgusting

Today, I was sitting in my bed, catching up on my facebook, when I reached over and grabbed this box of whoppers that I had gotten in my Christmas stocking (which had somehow ended up on my side table) and started eating them. They. Were. Disgusting. But yet, as I sat there, I munched away on the yummy chocolate outside, only to find a dry disgusting taste of malted milk on the inside.

Ew.

So, I as I sat there, consuming calories that I didn't need, I thought to myself, "Why on earth am I still eating these?"

Americans have been trained to eat and drink calories that they don't even really like, because 1) everyone does it, 2) everyone is supposed to like it, or 3) you're just plain...bored. If you examine the evidence, you can't help but think it's true.

For instance, does anyone actually like the taste of beer? Does anyone taste it and say, "Mmm, oh my god, that hit the spot. It tastes sooooo good." No. No one does that. It might be refreshing, but most people have to force back the taste. So why do we drink it? Because when you are in college, you are supposed to drink it. You are supposed to like it. It is liquid courage for God's sake! But if Kool-aid had the same effect as beer did, a.k.a. making you look like a complete idiot, then you would choose Kool-aid over beer, hands down. Face it, it's the truth.

So why do we do it? Because honestly, Americans are idiots and can't think for themselves. Drink what you like. Eat what you like. Screw the rest.
