21. Lots of people do
it's the one spice I can't stand. :shrug:


My mom got a bottle of this seasoning stuff, and used it in sloppy joes. I took a bite
"I don't like it."
"Why?"
"I don't know.." *another bite* "CUMIN!"
"It doesn't have cumin, I can't taste it."
"Does so!" *reads bottle* "SEE! There!"
"But it's the LAST ingredient!"
"So? It's still in there!"

Plain American cheese would be an inappropriate food. I wonder if that actually made it to stores.
