Things that Aren't Terrible

Sometimes, when it comes to a particular thing, event, experience or habit, a complaint isn't warranted. Yet. So it's a good idea to prepare by pre-complaining, because chances are human society will kill it. To those who don't yet grasp the principles behind The Complainant, the following may read like a transparent shill.

What is it?
It's a breakfast cereal, Trader Joe's Just the Clusters Maple Pecan Granola. Damn it's tasty, and I put it on yogurt in the morning.

Why it's not terrible:
Well for starters, the price differential between this granola cereal and the others (Quaker Oats I'm looking at you) is astounding. Also, I really like high sugared granola cereal.

Some drawbacks:
Of course, to buy this product you have to live in a place where there are TJ's then you have to navigate the thoughtlessly designed stores to find it, that is, if you can find a parking spot in their truly idiotic locations (I'm talking to you 3rd and LaBrea TJs in LA [which is possibly moving]).

Odds of total destruction: Fair. Trader Joe's changes their product line quite often, though a) not often enough to keep things interesting and b) they often kill beautiful tasty wonderful products for some or other reason. So enjoy this while you can.
