Tunes and Starburst

A former music store chain also sold candy at one time.  Apparently, the reasoning was that people might buy videos there and want to replicate the experience of being in a theater.  I thought, "Candy isn't usually offered at a music store, so I'm not sure who would buy it."  One day, I bought one of my favorite snacks, Starburst, there.  As soon as I got home and bit into it, I thought, "I was afraid this would happen.  The candy was sitting around for so many months there, it's like biting into pieces of granite.  I suspect that certain rocks might be chewier than this."

Just as I wouldn't have bought a dusty, most-likely-expired can of green beans from a convenience store, I should have passed on buying candy from a place that wasn't accustomed to selling it.  From then on, I toughed it out and enjoyed the music I'd bought there without concessions.  I only have one set of teeth, after all.
