The Power Rankings
We audited the back of the office cabinet and graded every abandoned snack like an elite competitive asset. Crunch integrity, dust accumulation, and emotional risk, scored without mercy.
Aged 8 months in a foil bag that refused to die. Still shatters with authority. A masterclass in structural discipline the rest of the cabinet can only envy.
Approximately 3 years old. The raisins have fused into a single geological formation. Opening the bag is a workplace hazard. Approach only with documented next of kin.
