The guy at the 711 gave me a free banana one day when I would only go in to buy energy drinks. Really threw me off, like do I look like I need fruit? Or was he just being nice? Was he just offloading the old nanas before the new shipment came in later that day? It’s been like 5 months and I still think about it.

This happened to me once but it was a nice lady with a little market outside her plants store that sold fruits and veggies. She was always so nice. One day I was walking by and out of the blue she was like “hey have a banana”

Next thing you know, you’re smoking apples on a park bench and sucking dick.
The first hit is always free.

They learnt from the best: drug dealers

I would say that drug dealers learned from sugar slavers, seriously look it up, but that gets into the argument that sugar could be considered a drug…
Sugar, nutmeg, mace, and cotton basically are the things that “caused” the slave trade to expand as much as it did.

This reminds me of a book I read recently. A memoir of a local fox hunter in my area who was approached by an old sugar beet farmer who asked him that the foxes kept eating his beets and that it was kinda annoying. The fox hunter just thought the old man was senile and moved on. Later on he hear other sugar beet farmers complain about foxes stealing and eating sugar beets.
He ended up having to face the old farmer who shoved a sugar beet with fox-like bite marks in it and asked him if that wasn’t fox teeth or what? And then the final confirmation happened when they found a fox digging up sugar beets and viciously eating them on the spot before digging up a new one and carrying it off to its den.
In the book it was used as an example of fox intelligence and their ability to adapt to changes their environment. That no matter what happens, the fox will always find a way to survive where other species don’t have the same resilience.
Anyway, I just thought about the sugar addicted fox when I saw your comment and had to share haha.
