Mr. Burke: Your effort is...slipping. Boy: An essay is an essay. Why kill myself to reach some arbitrary standard? Mr. Burke: Well played. Celebrate with some candy. Frazz: You look like a guy who lost an argument he thought he won. Boy: I'm a guy who just tasted generic M&Ms.

I get the joke, but does someone actually make generic M&Ms?

I have no idea about generic M&Ms but at the local A&P we have found several generic items that are as good as the name brands, as well as pretzels and cheese crackers that are tastier than the name brands.

Loved m&ms until I found that they are made in China. The company will tell you that China makes them to their standards. I guess the poison dog food, toothpaste, milk, meat, … were all made to their company’s standards.

I used to eat smoked oysters. Until I noticed the tin said ‘product of China’…. and then I had the thought: what do they smoke these with… dung?

“Well played” to the kid, but “Better played” to Mr. Burke! And I like how he has that jar of candy to show anyone what happens when you don’t strive for a high standard. (I have never tasted any candy-coated “chocolate” that was remotely near the level of true M&Ms.)
