Why does food taste better if someone else serves it to you? Even if it’s a piece of meat that fell in the fire and got charred to a crisp, it still tastes good as long as somebody else fishes it out and plops it on your plate. Why do the drive-through ATMs have braille on the keypad? Do that many blind people drive? Why don’t white people leave when there’s a ghost in the house? ---

In going with the other people’s food vs. your own thing: Whenever I try something new that tastes awesome at school or at somebody’s house, and then I buy the same exact thing for my house, it always turns out to be not NEARLY as good. ---

> [@WhyNot](#): > > Even more perplexing: why does a salad I make for myself at a salad bar taste better than a salad I make for myself in my kitchen? I swear, they must sprinkle crack on the lettuce leaves… The salad bar is prepared by highly trained salad specialists at the top of their skills, their salad days.

The blank you draw has been drawn hundreds of times before. You couldn’t tell because…it’s blank.
