Fruit is just the best damn finger food, but the drawback is the gosh darn stickyness. It seems no matter how hard you scrub, and wash, you can never get those hands clean. Worse yet, if your apt. is dirty, your hands will collect the lil lint, dust bunnies on your fingers. Or the worse, you eat a particularly sticky fruit such as a mango and not wash your fash afterwards and go to sleep on flannel sheets--- you get the flannel sheet fuzz moustache!
Raisins I can eat until I am sick. Those lil brown sob's are so sticky! Now you think you can devise ways around not having to touch them, it just aint gonna work. Case in point, I often pour my raisins into a cup and sort of drink them. Good idea?, wrong. Because if you dont use a spoon, those adhesive lil bastards stick to the container they came in and will stick to the cup. And if you are stubborn like me, you wont turn around and get a spoon. But rather waste 15 mins pounding the side of the cup try to loosen those lil suckers up. Then if you are lucky you will get a small stream of raisins, but most of the time a big chunk falls on you face. So now your face is sticky. Damn those lil sun dried grapes!
Now oranges are sickly sweet sticky and they have that smell that takes forever to go away. So after eating an orange, your hands are sticky, your mouth is sticky. No amount of washing will rid you of the stickyness. And your fingers smell like oranges the rest of the day. Which is probably a good thing for some people who miss when they wipe.
Which leaves me the dreaded Mango. Perhaps the ultimate in sticky fruit. There is just no way to eat a mango and not get sticky. I defy anyone to prove me wrong. Not only are they super glue sticky, they get into your teeth and no matter how hard you brush, flosh, rinse, those suckers are in there for good. Your tongue will spend hours trying to pry out those entrenched fruit fibers.
Anyone else have more fruit to add to the list?
Spreading nasal joy like I was johnny appleseed or maybe its because I keep hacking up grannie smiths.... chewy, gooey fun.
