Little bit o' salt

Now here's some honest advertising. After the ''dirtiest election in Slovak history,'' (the U.S.'s as well?) isn't it refreshing to see something just laid bare? A product that says, ''here I am; salty. And if the word salted isn't enough for you, here, we'll put a giant picture of a salt shaker right on top of me. And if that still isn't enough, let's add the nutrition information loud and proud, big and on the front. 33% of your daily recommended allowance for sodium. Thirty three. A third.'' (Yes, that was a direct quote from the bag of pretzels). That's what I like in a junk food. Honesty. Pardon the silliness, but this kind of cracked me up. And after months of having to put up with (read: begrudgingly tolerate passively listening while Tomáš watched/listened with interest) bickering, arguing, interrupting, cheating, lying, trying-to-get-ahead politicians, I needed a little laugh. Besides, where else are you gonna find a pretzel/election analogy?
