Earlier today I walked by my manager’s desk at work and grabbed a couple of pieces of candy out of her bowl. Picked up a red one and a green one, both in wrappers with Korean writing. I put the green one in my mouth … and only then looked at the label. which read:

“Pine Needles Taste Candy”

In case you were wondering, yes, it did taste exactly like pine needles.

I explained to my manager that I preferred to eat fresh pine needles, thank you very much. Who needs the extra sugar?!
