My sister and I were looking for a snack. Way in the back of the refrigerator, I spotted two of our favorite yogurts. Perfect! W
hen I pulled them out, I noticed the wrapper edges were frayed. It looked like they may have been there a while, and one of the containers was smashed in. My sister didn’t care and was already running for a spoon. “Careful,” I said, “Where there is smoke there’s fire. These yogurts look kind of funny. And I can’t even read the expiration date.” “You just want them for yourself,” she said, as she ripped off the wrapper. “Yikes!” she yelled, and we both held our noses.
