Each morning when I turn on my computer and pull up the inter web (which is where we access our email accounts), I am often greeted with news stories from various sources. Most of the time, I simply ignore these stories such as “This is the credit card your wallet must have,” or “Ten strange animals that actually exist in your back yard.” This morning, I saw something that warranted further investigation. The headline mentioned several canned foods that are no longer available.
You can imagine my almost instantaneous panic when I saw “Hunts Snack Pack” canned pudding on the list. I was somewhat relieved when I read further that the Snack Packs were still available, just not in those small aluminum cans with the pull tab lids. Perhaps it is a safety issue that prompted these folks to move to plastic containers rather than the razor-edged pull-off lids. You had to be very careful when licking off the pudding that was invariably plastered to the underside of the lid. Kids today aren’t faced with such challenges, which makes me wonder about how tough they will be as adults.
