Words Tickle Me

It's words like cake, snack, and pea protein that giggles my insides. Cake sounds like a dense and moist word. Like, if there weren't a silent e, then it would be cak, and that sounds weird. What is cak? Cake is so smooth, like spreading frosting on cake. It's comforting. With adjectives, like "sponge" cake makes me want to bake a huge one and jump on it. Or, use it like a sponge to see how absorbant it really is. Yum, I'd like a piece of moist chocolate cake. So many flavors, so many names, can't I just have one piece of cake?! Please!

Now, snack is definetely the opposite of cake. Snack sounds quick and stops abruptly. It's much easier to scream SNACK because snack raises your voice. It's like climbing a hill. "I need a snack." It's short, simple, sweet, and salty. Pretzels, baby carrots, and fruit gummies all make a snack. Because everyone needs a short, quick way to satisfy our (mental) hunger pains.

Now, why pea protein? Well, peas have been used for tens of years for professional bullying purposes. Such as, "pea brain". Peas are not a very superior vegetable. But, to the nutritionally unaware, peas may be smarter than your brains. It's packed with protein, which build your mitochondria with fuel to make more cells. In the long run, eating your peas gives you healthy cells, including your brain cells. When sold in protein alone, such as in powder form, you would think it wouldn't compete with the other protein buffs, such as soy protein and whey protein. You think pea protein wouldn't stand a chance. Well, bird brains, by which have lots of protein because they eat lots of nuts, pea protein gives you as much energy as your super soy because peas are not heavily genetically modified and processed. You wouldn't think peas would compare, well tough, it does. Great for vegans who need extra protein when working out. Try pea protein! And, if someone calls you a pea brain, remember to say thanks for the complement because you've got the power.
