Observations on Food in the Bay Area
8.30.2004
Serving size: 1 Tube
My coworkers and I have long joked about "tube food" being perhaps the most perfect, efficient form of take-out edibles available. Burritos, shawerma, wacky wraps... you name it, and somehow tubing it only seems to improve the combination, while simultaneously making it neat & easy to eat on the go.
The thing you don't often see, however, are tube related serving suggestions.
I just finished gnoshing on a Barq's root beer float frozen pre-packaged snack. On the back of said snack, the serving size was listed as "1 Tube" and I must admit, we were duly amused.
Of course, with the way most taquerias serve burritos, the listed serving size would often have to be "1/2 tube" or some such, but still. I like the concept.
PS: sure, it's a double post, but hey - it's equally relevant in both contexts, no?
