Man's enthusiasm for egg salad disappears after first bite

In what was described as a "real bummer," 25 year-old marketing specialist Mitch Jaronski immediately realized his much looked-forward-to egg salad sandwich actually tasted like shit.

"I don't know what the problem was," says Jaronski. "I wanted to eat something cheap, and the company cafeteria had an egg salad sandwich for only $3.50. Egg salad isn't something I normally have, but it sounded kind of good - so I was like well, what the fuck?"

Speculating that it had been approximately 10 years since he last consumed an egg salad sandwich, the thrifty marketing specialist ordered his sandwich with much gusto. While the hispanic, non-English speaking woman working the deli counter didn't seem impressed, his enthusiasm remained high.

"It actually looked good, ya know? I mean, egg salad all looks the same, but the yellowness is kind of a novelty, and I was thinking that it used to taste pretty good when mom made it every once in a great while," he says.

Upon returning to his desk, however, the dream was cut short.

"I took a bite, and I just wanted to cry," says Jaronski. "It tasted ... I don't know, kind of gross, and the texture was kind of like vomit and bread. I choked about three-fourths of it down, but I just couldn't stand to look at it anymore, so I dumped the rest down the garbage."

Unfortunately, the nightmare wasn't over. Because he threw the unwanted sandwich away in his own office garbage can, every few minutes he "caught a whiff of that stinky thing" and shuddered in his chair.

Undaunted, he looked forward to his next sandwich encounter. "Well, the egg salad sandwich wasn't a winner, but I've heard they make a mean peanut butter and jelly - and that's only $2.50."
