This evening, my biological sister and I were in a "health food" store shopping for some groceries for her new apartment. This store has several aisles of bulk bins with nuts, grains, flour, etc. They also have a candy aisle. We stopped in the candy aisle (figures I'd stop there in a health food store!) and I eyed the pre-weighed plastic tubs of candy lined up at the top of the bulk bins. I saw a tub of red hots candy and said "Hey look! They have red hots for Valentine's Day!" As I grabbed the tub, the lid popped off and red hots went flying *everywhere*. They trickled down the display and the little pebbles of cinnamon went scattering all over the floor. Do you know those musical instruments from South America called "rain sticks"? Yeah, that's what it sounded like. My sister and I started laughing hysterically. I mustered all of the strength I could to put the lid back on and put it back on the shelf. I kept telling her that we should tell someone about the mess. I finally found an employee in the produce section and tried to let him know. Unfortunately, I was still laughing hysterically and couldn't articulate my problem to the guy. Eventually I squeaked out that I spilled stuff all over the floor in the candy aisle. He just looked at me like I was a nut and said "Ok, I'll take care of it."
