Ducks and stuffTuesday, March 8One of my roommates has a bag of this foodstuff called "Bagel Crisps." They are basically thin slices of toasted bagels, and they are quite delicious. The bag boasts that the Bagel Crisps are now "Tender and Lighter!" I thought that was kind of interesting, because are the makers of Bagel Crisps saying that their product is now more Bagel Crisp than it was before? Yes, they used to be tender and light, but now they are more crunch for your buck! Because the way it's worded, the shards of bagel are now "more light"...and "more tend." The phrase still makes sense on its own, of course- perhaps the Bagel Crisps were never tender, but were always rather light. Now they are reached a higher level of light, and have arrived at basic tenderness. I wonder, then, if their newfound tenderness is due to the upgraded lightness. What if the geniuses who concocted this brilliant snack idea find a way to make them even MORE tender and light?? "New! More Tender [Tenderer?] and Even More Lighter!" That would just be crazy! I think they've got the lightness part covered. Although, when I eat these lovely Bagel Crisps, I don't "tend" (LOL!) to think of them as particularly tender. Tender just seems like a weird word to describe bagels and bagel products. The more I think about it, the grosser a word it is. |
