No, this has nothing to do with Iraq...
At the office where I work, people are known to raid the refrigerators for
food that someone else has brought in. I've lost a few things this way, and
now I use hot pepper to keep it from happening again. For example,
yesterday I opened a tub of cream cheese to snack with some crackers. When
I'd had enough, but before I put it in the refrigerator, I sprinkled it
heavily with pepper powder (actually, that purira powder from Dannie Scates,
that I was passing around at the Fields last year). I can imagine someone
thinking they had found a treat, opening it, and saying What the hell is
sprinkled all over this stuff?
I've done the same thing with bottles of salad dressing, too. That's how I
learned that CaJohn's hab mustard actually makes a nice added flavor to a
garlic ranch dressing.
Off-Topic - another thing they do here is bring their lunches in coolers.
OK, no problem, but then they put the coolers in the refrigerator. Now, one
might think that a cooler could keep some lunch cool for half a day without
being in the refrigerator. Or, one might think that food put in the
refrigerator doesn't need to be in a cooler, too. But I guess it just
doesn't work out that way. Instead, we have a refrigerator crammed with
bulky coolers that take up all the available space.
