Pink Tale #30, Nut-free Alternative
At Coburg FM
Young Mum with her 3 y.o. daughter in a stroller, after buying from nearby stalls, comes to PM. YM: Beetroot muesli?!
Me: Yes, have a taste (I hand her a spoon with PM Berries)
YM: (takes the spoon to her daughter) Would you like to taste this darling?
3yoD smiles big, nods and opens her mouth for the PM
YM: Did you like it? (2yoD nods again while munching happily on the PM)
Me: Would you like to taste the rest?
YM: I’m looking for a healthy cereal without nuts that she can take to school for her snack. They don’t allow nuts in school.
Me: Oh, I see. That leaves, only the Berries and Citrus & Ginger. These other two have nuts (I point to Coconut Caramel Crunch with Almonds and Christmas Special—has pistachios and macadamias).
YM: No, not the ginger. Too strong for her. I’ll take a large bag of the Berries please.(turns to her daughter) Would you like this for school? (3yoD nods strongly that her little feet were nodding too) Me: Add milk to it and it will turn pink! All your classmates will be so jealous! (we all lol)
YM: I will advertise it in her school.
Me: Great! Thank you so much!
They’re in the pink!
