Buy Walking VideosCute Food: Don’t Let It Derail You
The other day, we were all at Craft Lake City. Mixed in among the art was a booth for GeekyCookies. Staring at me were Star Trek cookies and Pacman cookies. They even had Browncoat Brownies. Mike made a joke about how each time we go to the planet we have to eat a red shirt cookie and we all laughed. Then Mike bought a Pacman cookie.
“Now you know what it feels like when someone eats you, Pacman!” he said while biting into the sugar cookie.
I haven’t wanted a sugar cookie for AGES, but Pacman tempted me. Why?
Part of the reason is the artificial scarcity. It’s not every day that I could eat a Pacman cookie. Sure, it’s just a sugar cookie, but it’s a sugar cookies shaped like Pacman (or a Star Trek shirt or a Invincibility Star). It doesn’t taste any differently than a normal sugar cookie, but it seems rare because it’s something I don’t see every day.
I found myself reacting the same way when I saw these Donut Kitties.
They are just donuts, but I wanted to eat one just because they are so darn cute!
The next time you’re tempted to eat something that you wouldn’t normally eat, stop and think why. Is it just because the food is cute? Is it because you think that you may never get a chance to eat something like this again? Take the time to really analyze how you are feeling and don’t let the appearance of food affect your judgement.
