>about to finish my order of McNuggets
>have managed to carefully ration the dip so that I have ended up with just enough for the final piece
>reach for the last nugget
>realize it's a ball
>horror begins to set in
>try to scoop up the final portion of dip
>unable to get into the corners of the square dipping container, the round nugget gets barely coated at all
>visions of the boot that I ate two nuggets ago flash before my eyes
>if only I had known then
>trying to salvage what little I can, I bite the ball in half to create a sharper angle with which to scoop up the final bit of sauce
>regret fills my soul as I taste the bare, unseasoned McNugget with only a trace amount of sauce
>use the other half to scoop up the last bit of sauce from the container
>attempt to enjoy the other half which now has enough sauce covering it, but in vain, as I am filled with the regret of having succumbed to sub-optimal dipping strategy which has resulted in me deriving less enjoyment from this order of McNuggets that I know to be possible

>literally tastes like you took 10 typical tomatoes from the supermarket, condensed their taste into a single tomato and then poured a tablespoon of sugar on it
>worth it doing physical labor for free just for these fucking tomatoes
>my contract ends as winter arrives
>have to go back to eating supermarket tomatoes
>they taste like shit now
>no access to vine ripened tomatoes in the shitty city I live in as there are no farmers' markets
>mfw

And that's the story of how I could never again enjoy a fresh tomato.

>yfw no more real chocolate in the near future
>yfw you'll have only artificial shit that they will pass off as chocolate
>yfw any real chocolate will become a luxury only for the wealthy and the price will be similar to that of caviar or even more

Why even live?

>tfw sourdough starter has become proteolytic
>fucking bacteria eat all of the gluten in a number of hours and the dough turns into something with the consistency of porridge after an overnight ferment
