Apple sauce and granola bars

I love apple sauce. I remember it would always come and go in our house. Sometimes it was the big jar in the fridge or the individual cups that sometimes had really... inventive... flavours. While it was definitely something I love and loved, I don't remember it being one of those ever-present things in our house. Like I said, it had its in-phases and its out-phases. Cool-aid and Arby's sauce packets are the only two pantry ever-presents I can think  of right now actually. 

Back to applesauce. 

Remember the KD ads that always said, "You are what you eat"? Could what you eat really say something about your personality? Consider with me if you will. Apples are very aesthetically pleasing. They are filled with crisp goodness. Apples do trend to have a hard and not so desirable core. 

Good thing I am not an apple personality. 

Someone has already taken the not-goodness of the apple and tossed it far away from the yes-goodness that is the applesauce. Applesauce can go marvelously well with other things but other times is content all by its lonesome. Applesauce needs to be refrigerated. That is one I know we both have in common. Applesauce is versatile, with mango peach flavored applesauce out there how could it not be? Applesauce is usually a pretty quiet player among other food items. It doesn't scream for attention like the cereals always do with all their commercials, 'new look, same great taste,' free prizes and celebrity endorsements. It's not like bread or cheese either, going stale or moldy after only a few days. Although it's hard for me to say, bacon -while delivering both an olfactorily satisfying and palatable experience- can't deliver the kind of consistency offered by applesauce. Bacon, too quickly it seems, becomes clogged drains and clogged arteries. 

If chosen second over something else or left for an extended amount of time, applesauce doesn't complain, hold a grudge or harbour ill feelings. It does ask for loyalty though because loyalty is what it deserves. Applesauce is ready to give back 100 percent of what you put into it. It all depends on you.

Mostly, I wish I was more like applesauce. 

May I now describe to you the personality of the granola bar? Unyielding. Determined. Complex yet simple. That one does make sense if you think about it. Some personalities are a jumble of randomly placed things that result in a mix so heterogeneous and confusing that you wonder how they manage to keep everything together. The granola bar is many unique elements linked together by a shared common thread. Just as it all fits together, the granola bar doesn't suddenly have a bad spot. Bananas are particularly notorious for this, every once and a while there is something that just isn't good. Rarely do you find a granola bar with a bad spot -consistently likable is standard.

The granola bar is made to give you a boost. 

When you need encouragement or energy, that is the granola bars job. The granola bar has you on the mind. Just like applesauce, it tries to look after you, to be and do what is best for you. The granola bar is in it for the long run. It also has substance and isn't boring or bland. It does take a certain amount work to eat a granola bar, it won't just hand itself over to you. While it isn't a jawbreaker, where you never see what progress you are making, it is hardly a sip of water either. 

Why are applesauce and granola bars so good?

Mostly, they just are. I could eat them every day of my life. Secondly, I wish I and more people were more like applesauce and granola bars. Trying counts right?
