Guaranteed Fresh

 

I thought I was stepping outside, but I noticed I was now standing inside a large bag of potato chips.  The air was salty, like I was at the beach, but I wasn’t.  There was zero breeze, a noticeable absence of seagulls and only filtered light, as the sun was barely coming through the colorful bag.  Lucky for me, there was more space inside than there were chips.  I had plenty of room to move about. 

There was a crinkle sound as I walked across the inside of the bag.  I thought about taking a bite out of one of the chips but I knew if I got thirsty there’d be nothing to drink, and what if I couldn’t stop at just one?

I wondered, now that I was inside, was I also now fresh?  How would I know?  How was I to tell?  I didn't feel any different.  What is it that constitutes freshness?  If it is the amount of time spent in the bag, then I guess I too was now fresh.   Without some floozy slapping me and telling me I was "Fresh", how would I know? 

I'm fairly certain it was that floozy thought that caused me to wake up.  That isn't the strangest dream I've ever had, but it's right up there.
