It was a Sunday morning at 8:00 am and I had woken up and decided to go to the gym right away. All I had eaten before the gym was just a protein bar. During my workout I had already envisioned the meal I’d make when I came home. I was gonna make a beautiful breakfast with pancakes, sausage, and fruit. The only thing I needed to complete this breakfast of champions was chocolate milk. 

I got in my car eager to begin my meal. I decided that I’d stop at Kwik Trip in order to pick up my chocolate milk. It was not an unusual occurrence for me to pick up a gallon of chocolate milk from Kwik Trip. 

I arrived there and grabbed the gallon then I noticed that the gallon expires the next day. I simply could not buy this milk whilst knowing its short feeble lifespan hanging by a thread. I then thought maybe the milk behind it has a later expiration. I grab the next gallon and begin to examine. I notice this milk too expires within 24 hours. With a look of despair on my face I placed these two gallons on the ground while I grabbed the third gallon from the fridge. I then see the same date for the third time in a row printed on the gallon. This date 3/6/2023 haunting me. With great frustration, I place the gallon on the floor. A woman is looking at me wondering, what is he doing? I look down at my feet and with 3 gallons reminding me of defeat I take a deep breath and reach into the bitter fridge one last time. I read the date and I have finally won. 

I drove home and made breakfast for my whole family and everyone loved that I had picked up chocolate milk. It was one of my best breakfasts ever after such a straining series of events at Kwik Trip.
