In an effort to maintain my status as a blue collar "digger of ditches", I stopped to get a coffee today.
The woman ahead of me inquired about a muffin called "Banana Dream Muffin". She asked if it contained bran. The lady behind the counter informed her that it didn't. So, she decided to choose another type.
I noticed that all of the other muffins were referred to in a very straight forward manner, being called whatever they were - Blueberry, Chocolate Chip etc. I asked the lady behind the counter if the "Banana Dream Muffin" contained the dreams of starry eyed children crushed into a fine flour. She said "no". The female customer ahead of me had a look of horror on her face. I'm not sure why.
I have little idea how far technology has come in the baking industry, but it seems to me that adding the dreams of small children might be good for those who have become jaded as they've reached middle age. It would be like bran for the psyche.

I almost woke my kid up laughing so hard at this one! What is with adding "dream" to food names anyways? Didn't we have Chocolate Dream squares yesterday?
Lol. Yes we did. And I felt mentally better for eating them. I bet there was no false advertising there.
