R-A-I-S-I-N-Sby Aimee, 5th gradeRaisins. What are they really? Innocent dried up grapes or repulsive items of soft, gooey, weirdness that can destroy your appetite? Let’s just say I don’t raisins are innocent. In case you’re not a fellow raisin hater I’ll tell you what I hate about raisins: the taste, smell and the nutrition; basically, everything. The taste of a raisin, a taste that can ruin an appetite in seconds! When you chew that raisin, soft goo fills your mouth. How can you honestly expect a person to like that feeling? When you try to swallow that mushy goo, you naturally gag! Some brave people manage to turn that gag into a swallow. I refuse to be brave! If you think about it, doesn’t that explanation sound perfectly reasonable? The smell of a raisin, a smell that can activate the “gag and throw up” part of you with whiff! The taste of a raisin is bad enough but having to smell it too is unbearable! I’m sure a person’s brain can handle the taste and smell of a raisin separately but together? Overload! Doesn’t a raisin smell like rotten eggs with soggy coffee beans? Think carefully. I’m sure all of you have smelled rotten eggs and soggy coffee beans before. Now mix the smells together in your head. What’s the result? A horrible smell. (If you haven’t smelled rotten eggs and wet coffee beans before, just imagine an old food smell and a wet coffee food smell!) What’s the worst thing about the smell is that when the smell is strong enough (which the raisin smell is) sometimes you can taste the smell. So instead of just one horrible smell and one gooey taste, you get one terrible smell and TWO horrible tastes. If you don’t believe me, go, get a raisin! Think about it. Isn’t everything edible that you hate nutritious? If you hate something edible that’s not nutritious, I am in awe of your power to turn gags into swallows! Anyway, raisins are nutritious and I hate them. See? The statement about nutritious stuffs already proven by someone! You convinced yet? So which is it? Innocent dried up grapes or repulsive items of soft goo? If you STILL don’t know, go to the lunchroom on the raisin days, graba box and try to eat one. No holding your nose or closing your eyes! Oh and remember to say “Thank You!” to the lunch ladies.
