This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Really, these are great for most things and a dirt-cheap hygiene option too. Use them for potato chips, cheetos, cheeze-its... everything where you're tempted to lick salt/powder/sugar off of your fingers. Did we really learn nothing from the pandemic?

Fyi some cultures in nhe middle east use their hands to eat all their food. They just make sure to wash up first.
