What do they do with the muffin bottom when making a muffin top? Think about it: you go to the store and always see muffin tops for sale, and even whole muffins. But you never see muffin bottoms for sale. In order to make muffin tops, though, you need a muffin bottom because it started as a muffin, right? Or are there trays that just make the tops of muffins? If so, why aren't there trays that make just be bottoms of muffins? I personally think the bottoms of muffins taste better, because they're fuller and hold more muffin than just a muffin top. They also don't taste as wet and greasy as a muffin top. But back to the important question, what really happens to the muffin bottoms? Are people being wasteful? Is there a waste factory out there somewhere that is full of muffin bottoms because there's some sort of stigma against them? I feel like there are certainly some hungry people that would benefit from just a muffin bottom. And if there are pans for just muffin tops, why? Why do those exist? What's the purpose of only half a muffin? Because after eating a muffin top, I'm still half hungry since I only had half a piece of food. What if, though, there's a factory that takes the muffin bottoms and sends them to people that need food? How heartwarming that would be. How heartwarming it would be to think of others before ourselves. Maybe this type of a factory does exist, and we just don’t know about it, because only bad news is shown. But maybe there’s a reason some things are hidden from us.
Why don’t hot dogs and hot dog buns come in packages of the same number? Hot dog buns are usually sold in packages of eight while the hot dogs themselves come in packages of ten. If you want to do the math, that means you need eight packages of hot dogs and ten packages of the buns in order to have the same amount of each. I don't know about you, but I typically don’t cook my hot dogs in quantities of 80. Do companies really think that there are people that like their hot dog without a bun? Because I’ve been the awkward person at barbecues and parties that gets a hot dog without a bun and its not a fun or clean eating experience. I’m sure deep down there is some sort of explanation for this, but it probably isn’t logical. It probably includes a bunch of regulations that, when they boil down, don’t really make sense at all. So why is it that somewhere along the line someone thought, “Lets make these two complimentary items come in a quantity that is not complimentary at all?” Sounds like a pretty bad sales tactic to me, because I’m definitely the type of person that would get frustrated always having more of one item than the other, and there are probably many others like me. Or maybe its economics, and the whole idea is to get people to keep buying the commodities, like a never-ending cycle. Maybe it’s little things like this that keep the market going. Maybe it’s the mistakes that keep the world moving.
Where do our eyelashes go after we make a wish? You know the drill, an eyelash falls onto your face and a friend points to it and says "Make a wish!" So you gingerly pull the eyelash off your face and look at it in your fingertip, then you close your eyes and make a wish and blow on the eyelash. But where does it go? You open your eyes and it's gone. Did it fly far, far away? Did it just land on the floor but it's so small that you can't see it? Did it go to the magical land of eyelash wishes? That's pretty sad to think that it could just fall to the floor and then be forgotten about. You put so much faith into that one eyelash just to have it rest on the ground and rot into a piece of dirt, and probably be stepped on a bunch of times. Or maybe they just fly around the world, landing on people's faces when they need a wish, when they need a miracle the eyelash comes just in time, heavy from carrying so many wishes yet so light in its faith.
Why do women always open their mouths when putting mascara on? Picture your mom or your sister or maybe even yourself putting on mascara. Certainly we've all witnessed it at least once. Women always open their mouths a bit, pulling their upper lip down as if to stretch out their faces. But that's funny, because your eyes are so far above your lips. What good does it do? And if you're a woman, try putting your mascara on without opening your mouth. It's hard. It's like opening your mouth is a natural reaction to putting on mascara, the same as moving your middle two fingers. They're connected, so when one moves the other wants to naturally move with it. Isn't that such a magical thought, that some things are so deeply connected that they react in sync with one another, and no one really knows why, except that deep down there's a string tying them together. Maybe that's how we find our soulmate — their actions pull us towards them because deep down there's a string that holds us together, a chain reaction that never breaks.
Maybe there’s actually an explanation for everything, and we aren’t meant to know it. Maybe we aren’t meant to know all the answers. Maybe, instead of asking so many questions, we’re supposed to be silent, and sit back, and listen. Observe. Relax. Trust. Maybe we should sit in the dark once in a while, and enjoy it, instead of constantly seeking light that isn’t supposed to be there yet.
