Hot Snow Day

When you see a pile of crushed ice on the grass outside of a grocery store do you go play in it?  Is it the same as playing in the pile of snow outside of a community centre with a skating rink?  Is the gross factor the same in both cases?  Let us explore.

Where in a grocery store would you find crushed ice?  Maybe in the produce section.  Maybe in the juice, salad and fruit section.  But usually in the seafood section.  The section that gets cleaned out every night as they put the "fresh" slabs of fish away and toss out the ice.  The same ice in which a bunch of kids were frolicking earlier tonight, happy that on a hot and humid day they happened upon this pleasantly cool surprise.

Zamoni-ed ice is full of sweat, spit, blood and snot.  If you're privy to the behind the scenes going ons as I once was, occasionally there would be fecal matter as well if the Zamboni driver wasn't feeling well.  Don't ask, just know that it happens.

Let's play in the snow that doesn't belong outside on a hot summer day!  Hey it tastes salty, yum!

I had nothing else to talk about but thought you might enjoy getting grossed out too.  Enjoy.
