Minecraft Schlop

Date: 8/30/2020

In what looked like the warehouse of a grocery store, we lined up to get our school lunches. They were mostly normal, then the workers poured out a can of beige goop. The can looked computer generated, like many labels of different food items had been ripped off. There was an image of corn and broccoli, both pixelated a bit and clearly photoshopped together. I took an extra can to the lunch table. Pouring it onto Devin’s plate, I said “Check it out! Minecraft schlop!” My friends were confused. “Devin, eat some of the Minecraft schlop.” I was surprised that he actually lifted his fork. Taking a bite of the indistinguishable goo, his eyebrows furrowed. “Hmm! There’s ketchup in here!” I woke up.
