HELENE: Can I interest you in our new organic probiotic gluten-free raw energy bar?
JASPER: Depends. Does it taste like cardboard?

HELENE: Ha Ha! Oh no, sir. It’s lightly sweetened with distilled agave nectar, so its great for your diet AND your sweet tooth!
JASPER: Hmmm

[[JASPER tries it.]]
HELENE: We’ve come a long way towards making healthy, all-natural foods taste just as good as their over-processed counterparts.

JASPER: It tastes like drywall.
HELENE: See? PROGRESS!
