That's right. You read that right. Raisinettes. I can't help it that Nestle spells it wrong.
While I love this tasty little treat, I don't really love having them in the house. I made a rare exception this weekend in a moment of weakness. Can you guess why I don't like having them in the house?
1. They are made with California raisins
2. They are bad for Taz
3. They make me fat and because they are soooo delicious I can't resist eating the whole box
4. All of the Above
If you guessed 4, guess again. I wouldn't make it soooooooooo easy.
Still stumped? If you guessed 1, that's wrong too. I fully embrace the California raisin industry. While I don't fully embrace the California Raisins a la Hardee's 1988, I do happen to know and like a few people that grow grapes. While they might not grow raisins commercially, they are the precursor to raisins, so we're all good. Plus, I'm not in a trade war with raisin people, so let's chill and make the California raisin people feel welcome.
If you guessed 3, you're really bad at guessing. I don't begrudge the rainsinettes my ample girth. It has taken a bit more than a box of raisinettes to cultivate this lushious set of curves, folks. Haters gonna hate, but I suggest you don't hate on the raisinettes. Plus, it's kind of like eating fruit, so technically raisinettes are healthy. Chocolate is a super food. SUPER FOOD! Would you hate on kombucha or chia or acai or cacao nubs? Of course you wouldn't, so let's not hate on the raisinettes, either. Super food.
That leaves us with number 2. I don't love having raisinettes in the house because they are little nuggets of poison covered poison for dogs. The deadliness of chocolate sensually enveloping the life-ending raisin. Yep. I worry that I'll accidentally drop one and like a stealth ninja, Taz will be there to scoop it up before I can pick it up. I used to eat them at work exclusively, but now that Taz goes to work too, it's just geography. There's no safe space except for the movies!
So ultimately, raisinettes are awesome because I can go to the movies, get my own butter covered popcorn and box of raisinettes. Life is beautiful, and the world is a wonderful place.
