"Why is my burger blue?" I asked, innocently. "Oh! We're making all of our food blue, all the best restaurants are doing it now." the waiter explained. But I didn't want my burger to be blue.

(For the techbrodude shills: this is called “allegory”. Maybe you can ask ChatGPT to explain it to you.)

    extremely nitpicky gripe, but making leaves and flowers blue using food colouring was something I actually did, in kindergarten, so the line about “not being able to make the leaves blue” threw me off. it’s a hell of a lot easier than making meat blue. plus, plants were traditionally a source of blue dye.

    also, House of Leaves, anyone?
