The veggie tray in the work breakroom, the great democratic experiment.  Which vegetable will be left behind?  Which vegetable will be scorned?  Which vegetable is so unloved that even ranch dressing can’t make it gobblable?

Well, today’s free food veggie tray consisted of five contestants.

1) Baby carrots, the small orange wonder with a crunch.

2) Celery, the crunchy one with inexcusable strings inside.

3) Cherry tomatoes, the stealthy fruit that likes to pass itself off as a vegetable.

4) Snap peas, the crisp pod with little friends inside.

5) Broccoli, the little tree that never found the will to grow up.

And the winner (well, really sort of a loser) is…

Broccoli!

Sorry little trees, you should have stayed in the Hidden Valley.
