The Problem with bagels.


The problem with bagels.

So today I remembered why it's been a LONG time since I've a had a real bagel from a bakery.

So you look at the picture above and probably get your best Homer Simpson impression going and are saying to yourself "Ummmmm, bagels!"

That's what I thought when someone brought in bagels to the office today. A big box of bagels, "Ummm Bagels!" I thought.

So down toward the bottom of the box, I was late and there were only a few left, was this awesome fluffy Cinnamon toasted bagel. Once again, "Ummm bagel!"

So I grab the bagel, get to my area, get out the cream cheese, take a bite, and..........four hours later I'm still tasting the friggin onion from the Onion Bagel that was evidentally next to that cherised Cinnamon Bagel.

Well, I'm not one to give up that easy. I take the bagel, rip it in half and figure, "HA, you shall not stump me fiendish bagel, I will bite you from the juicy center"

Well, evidentally the da*n onion bagel must have been also sitting ON TOP of the delicious looking Cinnamon Bagel.

So if you work at a bagel shop, I was the guy that used to come in and always asked the person buttering the bagel (I like mine toasted with butter when possible) to use a fresh knife. Now you know the reason why. See, it always seemed that no matter who was in front of me they must have loved the dreaded Onion bagel. (Who the he*l wants to start they day off with onion breath anyway). Well once you got a spec of onion on that knife it permeates the bagel. It is amazing that one spec of onion can outpower 10 pounds of cinnamon and sugar.

So in the end now I have to find a way to dispose of this bagel and not let the person know that brought them in that I took their oh so cleverly onion coated bagel and threw it in the trash.

(Sheesh, can't believe I wrote all that about a bagel, I need to get outside today)
