This is the very attitude toward policy and procedure that have us wringing our pearls and clutching our hands over the situation in Iran. We all know from the caution that Kellogs puts on the box -
if our foreign policy is overheated, frosting and/or filling can become extremely hot and could cause burns.
...we also know that everything GREAT in this world comes with some degree of risk
Eating a Pop Tart "straight out of the package" to avoid the risk of burning your mouth is like giving the Iranians an airplane full of cash so they won't do international terrorism. Eating a Pop Tart "straight out of the package" to avoid risk is like letting Iranians take your Sailors hostage and use them in propaganda phots because you don't want to upset the Chinese. Eating a Pop Tart "straight out of the package" to avoid risk is like giving your worst enemies a green card and letting them live in the USA while they enjoy our freedoms and bash our lifestyles because you're afraid they'll block the Straights of Hormel and prevent the rest of World from getting canned chili with beans.
NO SIR. NOT ON MY WATCH.
Even Kellogs has made it clear in their marketing:
Preparation Instructions:
There's a word for people who eat untoasted Pop-Tarts®: Renegades.
Oy Vey, no one is above the law hermano. "
It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities"
Sure, we could do the VetBro thing and pretend to be Renegades - grab a Pop Tart and hit it raw.
We could toss it in a microwave for three to five seconds.
...and we could continue to clutch at our pearls and wonder why our foreign policy changes with the shifting winds.
Or, we could follow a decision making process.
-We could remove our foreign policy from the foil before heating
-We could preheat the Air Fryer to 350 degrees (
Fahrenheit because this is still America and we don't have a King)
-We could place our foreign policy in the air fryer basket, or on a rack
-We could heat our foreign policy for two minutes or until warm.
-We could let our foreign policy cool and enjoy it
Maybe we were in a bit more of a hurry...
-We could just toast our foreign policy on the lowest setting
-Let our foreign policy cool before eating.
Or we could just eat our foreign policy "straight out of the package" to avoid risk - then continue to wonder why things are so fucked up.
It's all about choices.
