I had a nice start to my Saturday. I woke up at 6:30 feeling good from not drinking the night before. I checked DraftKings and saw I lost $15 dollars on an NBA lineup and saw my account had $143. I knew that wasn’t enough action to get me through the weekend so I fired up DK blackjack. After 15 hands I hit 2 blackjacks and was up $50 playing $10 dollar deals. That’s a bit more ammo Saturday for the Pats game knowing I’m trying to get hot and have a dynamite Sunday. I’ll be playing Rhamondre Stevenson first TD for what that’s worth.
I shower and head to Wegmans in Cherry Hill to do some food shopping. Why pay $5 to cross the bridge for food shopping? It’s because Philadelphia is turning into a shit hole. People used to say that they thought the city was either unclean or dangerous and I didn’t used to agree. I agree now but that’s another post. I purchase a weekly supply and come across a $9.99 plastic container of Wegman’s salted cashews. I rarely treat myself to cashews and said what the heck. I get some gas and watch a crazy Jim Can’t Swim when the bottom drops out of my day.
I’m about to vacuum the floor and had put the cashews on the table. Accidently while moving the table from rug, I nudge the cashews off the table. In the second that they are falling my brain processed minutes worth of calculations about what the result may be and not one was the end result. As the plastic tub collided with the ground a nuclear explosion of cashews occurred and devastated my life.
What could I do? There are $7 worth of cashews on the ground and some landed on the rug and others on the ground. A mask of red covered my eyes and I contemplating throwing my remote through the TV but withdrew in a moment of sensibility. I stared at the cashews in disbelief and started wondering if a hair might fixate on one while I scooped them back in the container and ruin my entire cashew experience. Is there a 5 second rule here? I walk on that portion of the rug every day. Are the ones on top savable?
So dear audience, I ask you, are you putting 100% of the cashews back in the bin? Are you discarding all out of case cashews in the trash? A mix? Does them being $9.99 make any difference to the decision? I’m considering driving back to Wegmans to get a brand new stash but then they actually cost $14.99 which starts getting up there for some cashews. Tough experience. I’m not sure I have the strength to get through the day.
Cashews are awesome
Easy discard, no second thought. Light it on fire. Also can you make so I don’t have to put my email in every time I leave a comment?
You know my answer.
The human body is designed to eat things from the ground and survive. I say wash them off, paper towel dry, add back a little salt and enjoy. (Don’t try this with birthday cake)
Were they salted? This may sound nuts (yeah I said it) but you could pick them all up and rinse them, then put them back in the container!
From the picture, it looks like you have about 10% that are still in the container on the floor. Those 10% never made contact with the floor and are 100% safe. I would pick the container up with those 10% and save them and sweep the rest into a dustpan and into the trash. Sucks you lost 90% but at least you have some safe ones that don’t deserve to be trashed.
Easy answer. Go on Amazon and have new cashews delivered same-day.
