(Albany, NY) - So I had to document this. I popped into a Stewart's convenience shop to get gas and a cup of coffee. It was on the way out of town and I was on my way home after having a pretty good work day.
I filled my tank and went inside to get a coffee. There were two women in their mid to late twenties behind the counter. One was eating a cinnamon Pop Tart. The other watched her unwrap her snack and smiled at me while pointing to show where the creamer was.
The one eating said, "Mmmm, I love cinnamon."
The other young woman shook her head and agreed, "Yep, me too. I remember when I was pregnant with my son I ate cinnamon Pop Tarts every day. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, I've loved them Pop Tarts."
I looked up smiling back and asked, "So does your son like cinnamon Pop Tarts now?"
Without missing a beat, she said, "No, my baby died. Cinnamon causes contractions."
I left a $5 bill on the counter as I said sorry and left.
