I had no idea I had such strong opinions on potato chip packaging.
Yep, potato chip packaging.
When I was invited to take part in some paid marketing research about some potato chips, my only concern was the "paid" part. I've been praying for God to provide for us financially, and it paid $100! I couldn't believe that someone would pay me $100 to give my opinion on potato chips. I still laugh when I think about it. I could never even dream this stuff up. God providing through my opinions on potato chips.
So I went a couple of weeks ago, gave my opinions for an hour to the guy on the other side of the table, and surprisingly, had some strong opinions about the packaging he showed me. I never even tasted a chip that day, although it was a brand I've eaten before. That makes the story even funnier to me. It was all about the outside of the bags.
I left with my check, thanking God for providing in such an amazing way, and I thought that was the end of it.
Then a lady called yesterday from the same place. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, they videotaped the potato-chip-packaging-opinion-giving interviews. To make the whole story even more comical, the lady said that the tape ran out before my interview was done. They wanted me to come back and see if I could redo the last 10 minutes of the interview, and they would pay me the $100 again.
So today I'm going to give my last few opinions all over again...
and make another $100...
about potato chip packaging.
Who knew I had such valuable opinions? I sure didn't.
Only the Lord can dream up such ways of providing for our family. I just have to laugh.
