What da...?!?

As usual, I went downstairs to the atrium of my client building where I work to buy a big bottle of water for the day. I was sort of in a hurry, but in the little bit of time I had at the little store in the atrium, I managed to persuade myself into buying a box of Junior Mints as well.

All was well when I came up to the seventh floor. By now I had drank a few sips of water, as well as wolfed down the entire contents of the Junior Mints in record time. I was just going about my business at work, until a client came over to the desk where I sat. He wanted to ask about something, but inquired instead: “What is that?”

I looked at where he was pointing, and quickly exclaimed: “What da...?!?” Below is a picture of what we both were referring to.


At first I was hesitant to physically investigate it, for my mind was running wild about all the possible disgusting things the stocking boy at the store would do to the products in the middle of the night while refreshing the inventory. Finally I used my pencil to take a poke at it, which I then suspected that these bottled water probably came in a box, and the white stuff at the top was probably the excess glue used in sealing the boxes.

After my sudden relief from such a potentially horrible situation, it quickly turned funny. So I sent the picture over to my friend/coworker, to which he responded, “Is that lotion on the bottle?” After telling him of my suspicion, he added, “Seamen brand all natural glue?”

I suppose from now on I have to be more careful in what I pick out of the fridge before I pay for it, huh?
