Alice: I'm getting the kid's hamburger with a little plastic sword in it! Petey: All this food looks orange. Alice: do you think that's how they kill the hamburger? With a little plastic sword? Petey: Even the cole-slaw looks orange. It's hurting my eyes. Mom: He's right. It's the orangest food I've ever seen. Dad: Is there nothing on this menu that doesn't involve pepperjack cheese?

Peter Otterloop, Sr., you can always ask the waitstaff to exclude the pepper jack cheese.

I’d order an orange. It will probably be yellow.

It’s the only other cheese I’ll eat other than extra sharp Vermont Cheddar.

Eight years since this strip was originally published, and pepperjack is still the “trendy” cheese of choice at restaurants that try too hard to impress.

No, no, Alice! Not to worry. The “kids’ hamburgers” are made from the little hamburgers that grow on the Mini Hamburger Bush, cultivated all over the deep South. They are a nutritious vegetable, too—but (I hasten to add) taste good!
