Choice is a celebrated privilege we enjoy in our country.  However, I (facetiously) believe that choice has gone too far.  Take a look at these two cereal boxes:

           

One of these boxes makes me very happy and the other makes me very sad.  Now when you look at them very carefully there are three major differences:  red bowl instead of blue, blueberries instead of strawberries, and a darker brown shade of cereal in one than in the other.  However, when you just rolled out of bed to go to the store, you are 10 weeks pregnant and experiencing morning sickness, hungry for breakfast and only Life Cereal will do AND you are currently out of Life Cereal you may or may not be thinking clearly and rationally.

Already you have to filter through the obvious imposters:   Vanilla Life, Apple Cinammon Life and Pumpkin Spice Life (WTH?!?) and once you weed through those you (erroneously) think you are safe and grab a box that does not appear to have any scary flavor variations.  But when you get home and look more closely you realize how very wrong you are:(.  

You forge ahead anyway hoping that Cinnamon Multi Grain Life tastes the same, or hoping against hope, better than Original Life.   Sadly your hopes are quickly dashed and you begrudgingly eat the bowl of yucky cinnamon crap ruined with multigrain sludge.   

Sigh, how will my day every recover?!?!
