Default Does this sound as dumb as I think it sounds?

Today, at a local LFS, we overheard a very strange comparison. Both my wife and I thought it was hilarious. Just wanted to share it and see what other people thought on the subject!

One of the employees was helping some customers pick out some fish, and when asked why the other fish didn't bug the pleco, she replied it was because they tasted like dandelion.


Dandelion? Really?? Just curious as to where this would come from, and how a person would know, other than personally? Hahah.

The things you'll do to make a sale.

They DO taste like dandelion! Er ... I mean, what an odd thing to say. What a weirdo.







(For the record I'm not even sure what a dandelion tastes like.. let alone a plec.)

Dandelions are kind of bitter and disgusting. Kind of like eating an elastic band.

Don't ask

You've got hippy friends like my wife's dontcha? Dandelions are disgusting; hippies put them in salads... Though I really wonder where they get the dandelions... Might explain the taste in some cases...

LOL, no hippy friends. Just some very vivid memories of when I was little. My friends and I would make all sorts of stuff, salads, mud pies etc. Then we'd dare each other to eat them. Thank god we didn't have any mushrooms growing where we lived
