We Didn’t Even Know We Wanted These Things, But Now That We’ve Seen The Light, There’s No Turning Back

I don't ask for a lot in life. Enough to eat, a roof over my head, and unlimited wifi. Even though humans might not need much, that doesn't stop us from wanting more and more. I don't need to eat an entire family-sized bag of hot Cheetos, but I want to.

Even though I'm a simple person, I have to admit I'm pretty upset that no one decided to tell me about some of these things. I didn't even know how much I wanted an all-pink Starburst package until now, but here we are. There's no turning back. I've seen the light, and I'm pissed off that it took this long.

Is this a common thing in the real estate market? I've heard of throwing in the barbecue as a closing bonus, but free tacos are way better.

I have a few quick questions though. Do you have to eat all $250 worth of tacos at once? And are they fresh tacos, or just $250 of Old El Paso kits?

The "close door" button fell off on this elevator to reveal that there is absolutely nothing hooked up to it. At first, I was mad, but now I'm at peace.

All those times I frantically pushed the button was for nothing. I feel like my entire life has been a lie, but now we can move forward and just accept that fact we're destined to share elevators with strangers.

On the one hand, Mr. Christie has clearly run out of ideas. Apparently, they can only pump out pumpkin spice Oreos for so many months of the year. But on the other hand, it's an absolutely genius idea. They are the best cookies, so why not get meta and make Oreo Oreos?

I'm just mad because I know that the supermarket by me will never stock this flavor. Keep reading to see another food item I need in my life, but will probably never get my hands on.

This all pink package of Starburst is definitive proof that there's good in this world. Our democracy may collapse at any moment, but at least now I have twelve perfect pieces of pink taffy. But someone added online that they should make an all yellow pack. Now that would be a dark timeline.

I thought I was a genius for using the foil wrapper of my yogurt as a makeshift spoon. But jokes on me because I clearly had no idea what I was doing.

This wrapper comes with folding instructions that make a huge difference because now you don't have to risk slicing the inside of your cheek on sharp foil. Too little, too late.

When you're crammed into an elevator with ten other people, and you're trying to mentally do the math to see if this ride is your last, this might actually be helpful. But imagine if you step into the elevator on your own and that light shoots all the way up to the elbows? There goes my self-confidence for the year.

You know the only reason this got invented was that men finally got tired of holding their phones while they poop. That's the only time they use bathroom stalls.

Women, on the other hand, have been suffering at every bathroom trip. They've had to carefully balance their phones on top of the toilet paper rolls for years. These need to be in every stall.

Part of me wants to hate the idea of a hotel renting out a fish to people traveling alone, but in reality, I'd do it.

I wish that the hotels would get a little more creative with it. Why rent out a fish? All they do is float around and blink at you. Rent out a puppy or a kitten to cure my loneliness.
