“With the first few, I was giddy–all the sweet juice with no hassle! (Yes, I was just eating them straight, the way real men do.) But before I was a quarter of the way through the package, I began to notice a change in my feeling about them. Sure, that little burst of flavor is nice, but then you’re left with the unpleasant nub of the seed to chew and swallow (or spit out, if you’re that kind of person).
When I was doing the work of digging the seeds out, the pleasure of that juice burst far outweighed the bit of unpleasantness that followed. But that ratio changed when there was no delay before the next one or two got popped into my mouth, and no effort invested in harvesting them. I began to want just the juice, with none of the flavorless, chewy parts. My dislike of the latter began to outweigh my enjoyment of the former.
It seems that the more of the work that is done for me, the less I appreciate the result.
They’re rather pricey at $3.99 for this little plastic dish, and I don’t intend to pay that just to be disappointed.
I wrote the above a few months ago. Since then, I changed my mind, sort of, and did buy another package, though it was specifically for the purpose of adding the seeds to a salad. For that, they worked well, though it’s a pretty expensive way to add some fruity zing to a salad. I might do it again, though not often.”
