I am often faced with moral dilemmas. Typically, they centre around finding lost food items in crevasses – like within the cushions of a couch or a chair.
If the item is a piece of chocolate, then it is pretty much a no-brainer. With a bit of dusting off, consumption is inevitable.
The grey areas arise when discovery of something like a potato chip, or unshelled peanut is made. A peanut can occasionally be given the customary dusting, and all is well, but potato chips, well, potato chips seem to attract unwanted lint, hair, and other unrecognizable composites. No matter how much you blow on it, there’s always something that lingers, to foul the enjoyment after you start to chew on it. I am usually 50/50 to go on a potato chip that I find under a couch cushion.
OK, 70/30…
What is YOUR practice, when it comes to found foods? I understand some people simply discard whatever they find under cushions and such, but that seems a bit of a waste to me. I consider these discoveries as hidden treasures, although if I can’t get them sufficiently cleaned, those treasures can taste like you’re licking a cat…
Chow for now!!

My practice is to cuff you upside the head when I see you examining said potato chips!
There is the 10 second rule.
Of course if you are of the fairer sex chocolate is fair game no matter where it has been lying and the 10 second rule does ot apply.
Perhaps I shouldn't do my happy dance every time I find a lost potato chip...
I think she's just jealous because I tend to drop so much more than her, therefore providing me with a cornucopia of future delights!!
