I saw the strangest thing in a grocery store on the weekend. They had
those ready made graham cracker pie shells on a shelf and some woman was
examining them as if her life depended on her choice. I don't know what
sorts of defects she was looking for, but I did notice that she was
picking them up by the rim with one hand. Being flimsy aluminum pans
with the crust right up to the flange rim, I imagine that holding them
like that could easily damage the pie shell. The pans were in two piles,
about 10 high and she checked out every single one of them before
settling on two of them which had been somewhere in the middle of the
piles. I have no idea what she was looking for, other than one that had
not been damaged by someone picking them up like that.
