The DVR has changed my TV viewing habits drastically -- I watch what I want to when I want to in any kind of order I want to. Of course, that means I've had to make personal prioritization choices ... like being certain to keep up with reality elimination shows lest I read about the latest contestant removed from the competition ... or taking months to get through the National Parks Ken Burns' documentary (I've watched four of six installments so far and now cars are driving through the restricted areas!).
This time-delayed consumption of entertainment means that sometimes I'm a little behind the rest of the world in finding out important news. For instance, it took an episode of ABC's Shark Tank to inform me that the white packets (pure sugar) and the brown packets (raw sugar) and the pink packets (congressionally cleared from causing cancer in 2000) and the blue packets (once shilled by Cher, remember?) and the yellow packets (for those looking to add a carcinogen to their coffee) were joined by BRIGHT GREEN PACKETS!
I haven't worked in a restaurant since Cherry Tree Cafe in Uniontown (an upcoming Friday Flashback in a year or two?), but have the caddies on those tables been improved such that they can display all of these choices? I don't plan to rehash my Soapbox from Saturday, but are artificial sweeteners the new M&Ms? Do we really need this many choices?
