The cubicle ninjas have struck again. Every Tuesday, the vendors come and replenish our snack machines and coffee supply. There was only one item in the snack machine that I liked. Now, we may request having items placed in the snack machines for us, which is nice. But, the cubicle ninjas are always having the vendors put in things I am fairly certain are not digestible by man.

Yesterday I was hungry. I mean seriously hungry. My lunch just wasn’t cutting it. So, I scrounged up change from my drawer and wandered over to the snack machine to get the granola bars I like from it. I was aghast to find them replaced.

By Rainbow Twizzlers.

Ew. I mean, first off, no one should eat anything in that shade of blue let alone that shade of orange, yellow and green. It was like a faerie had vomited inside a vat and they processed it into licorice shaped molds and then packaged it for our consumption.

Now, I have tolerated a good many things from the cubicle ninjas. I tolerate the mediocre tea. I tolerate the fact that they put raisin cookies in the snack machine. (I have an insane aversion to raisins, don’t ask, it’s a long, long rant with no real purpose.) I tolerate the fact that they put starbucks in the coffee machine. I tolerate the sub-par pens and pencils I have to put up with only to have them stolen from my desk. I tolerate the grey interior of my cube. I tolerate more than any person really should. I tolerate the lazy drugs they give people. I tolerate the nefarious propaganda they spread. I tolerate the 15 minute fire alarm test.

But Rainbow Twizzlers?

They have gone too far this time. First they take away the $0.45 Lance Sour Cream and Chive crackers to have them replaced with $0.65 Bugles, then they take away my granola bars. I will not stand for this. I must accost the vendors next Tuesday before the cubicle ninjas get to them …

… or to me.
