"Candy Dish"

A quick story:

The Not So Pretty Girl sits across from me. She has a large plastic bowl on her desk. The bowl is usually empty.

A few weeks ago one of the guys in her group started bringing in candy to fill the bowl. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, assorted Snickers, Milky Way, and Three Musketeers, and so on.  People loved it. The candy usually lasted about a day and a half.

Last week the stupid kid started bringing in candy for the bowl. He brought jelly beans. The jelly beans got mixed reviews. People seemed to really like them, but disliked that they weren’t individually wrapped.

The jelly beans lasted two days. Then the stupid kid filled the bowl with Doritos.

The Doritos did not go over well. No one wanted orange keyboards or fingerprints on their nightly reports. Also, it seems people like the Cool Ranch flavor more than the Nacho flavor anyway.

Does the candy bowl have a lid? Cause uncovered Doritos sound unappealing and quick-to-go-stale.

Nope, big plastic bowl. Pictures of star fish, umbrellas, and beach towels.
