Row after row, lines of boxes, colorful and bright with words. They capture a young audience with their promises. Grams of protein. No refined sugar. Crunchy and delicious. There has to be a better way to sustain a human belly. It is odd to think how a rectangular medium sized bar, how the workings of the human eye and stomach function together for the presumed good of the body. The outside does reflect the deepest parts of a brain. Those that struggle when a bad thing overstays never questions. What is remembered is not the obvious. Moving down the aisle, edible selections get more expensive. The words on the boxes are more believable in their lie. Advertisers twist the messages in each sentence. They hope for a successful campaign of trickery and bribery. There are no stickers or an extra bar inside the box. What is offered is something humans can't provide on their own. Fulfilling hunger in a convenient and moderate way. The wrapper is not shiny and feels like paper. We are engaging you in the process of preservation. The long-named ingredients don't matter. Don't just buy one. Everything in this box is good for you. There are no disguises that we will reveal. Sugar takes a while to kill someone. In the meantime, enjoy the selection of sugarless soda.
