OK, so I've never actually tried the stuff, but listen:  you
know Uncle Ben's Perverted Brand Rice?  Have you ever looked
at the back of the box?  They've got all these recipes, which
is nice and all, but one of them is for "Any Fruit Rice
Fluff".  It involves (guess!) rice, fruit (ANY fruit), and
"fluff" (i.e. Cool-Whip).  Fine.  Peaches 'n' Rice.  Or
Strawberries 'n' Rice.  But did they stop to consider that the
tomato is also a fruit?  Isn't it misleading to call it "Any
Fruit Rice Fluff" when they must know damned well that
tomatoes, rice, and Cool-Whip must be a wretched (and
retchful) combination?

I'm gonna write my congressman.
