It started out like a normal lunch. Look at my watch, realize that I’m hungry, and it’s 12:15. Get up, and take leave of my desk, located in my two-person cubicle, currently shared by myself and 3 other people (Ah, the life of a lowly intern). Head down to the cafeteria. Pull out my lunch, currently packaged in a plastic Giant Eagle bag, and begin eating.
Sandwich…mmmmmmmmmm.
Chips…mmmmmmmmm.
Milk…mmmmmmmmmm.
Keebler elf cookies…mmmmmmmm.
Wait a second.
Keebler ELF cookies? Something’s not right.
Now, call me crazy, insane, or lactose intolerant, but is there something wrong here?
Last time I checked, on the Keebler commercials, the elves make the cookies.
But…the cookies look like elves.
Anybody else find this slightly twisted?
I sure did, so I got to thinking. Took a while, but I did it. I did it, and I came up with a theory. The KEEBLER theory.
Now, the way I see it, elves can’t get payed much money, right? I mean, c’mon, they’re elves, for God’s sake. We’re talking sweatshop conditions in those trees.
So, Elmer (I think that’s the head elf’s name), sees his comerades working under conditions that would make Kathy Lee blush, and goes to the Keebler CEO to complain.
Next day, all the elves who were unhappy have vanished, and the cookies are tasting funny.
Keebler, by making its cookies look like its workers, is giving itself an easy way to supress uprisings. It’s elf exploitation to the highest degree!
But I don’t think it stops there. With an army of slave elves at its disposal, there’s no limit to what Keebler can do! I am now firmly convinced that Keebler is at the root of every problem in the world, and am working feverishly to prove it. I will update as I find information, but any help is welcome. We must band together to stop Keebler from taking over the world! Fight the CEO!!!
Okay, so it’s possible that the meat on my sandwich was a bit past the expiration date. But if it was, then it’s KEEBLER’S FAULT!!!
