23,000 Breaths a Day
What is a Snapple bottle cap? A simple piece of metal? On the outside, yes, but look a bit deeper, and you might be surprised to find the hidden qualities of this marvelous object. Snap the top and you might find a source of entertainment, but even deeper than that, read the “Real Facts” on the underside of the cap. You are likely to find yourself presented with information like “The average person takes 23,000 breaths a day.” What might this information lead you to? You could decide to research more about human behavior. You could learn about some more interesting facts on the computer. You could spread your knowledge with your friends. The direction this one bottle cap could take you in is virtually limitless. What direction it could lead you in personally, I do not know, but neither will you unless you use one of your 23,000 breaths to look a little deeper into the things you once thought you understood.

This made me giggle a tiny bit. But it is so true that the facts they give you are mind boggling. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am glad you enjoyed my first post. I tried my best to get the reader to think about the effect that seemingly insignificant items can have on their life through my trinket's simple appearance (it's just a chunk of metal!).
