That's a lot of faith in the supply chain, that someone didn't swap in an even worse material (because, who's going to notice; not the rats).
Also, doesn't glamorizing this behavior, in a "lol im so random" way, encourage other people to do reckless stunts?
- nancyminusone 2y agoDoing this once is probably no more reckless than licking an envelope.
- neilv 2y agoThe people who produce envelopes know that envelopes are likely to be licked, and that they would likely be in big trouble if they or a supplier substitutes in a material that sends someone to the hospital.
- mmmlinux 2y agoAh yes, Ive seen this episode of Seinfeld.
- the_af 2y agoWell, those were a ton of envelopes... :)
- neilv 2y agoI'm just guessing that the downvoters don't have young children, or haven't heard of some of the things that go on on social media.
- the_af 2y agoMy guess is that this is a funny column about whimsical things (often food related, the author seems to have worked as a restaurant critic) and it's full of "don't do this at home" disclaimers. So I'd say: - Your children shouldn't be reading her blog. - Adults reading her blog shouldn't imitate her behavior, and instead, take it as a bit of humor. I bet in reality she did a little bit more fact-checking than she shows on her blog post.
- lmm 2y agoI would take that bet. Sure, you can carefully affect being this careless, but it's easier to just actually be this careless.
