Malicious intent salsa.

Is that a new flavor?

Yes, it's very spicy.

So I've been pretty vocal the last four years I've been on socials that I'm not a huge fan of office potlux.

And there's numerous reasons why, but I would say the main reason is my husband is an executive

chef. And unfortunately, over the last, you know, 15 years we've been together, I'm very

knowledgeable about food safety standards from him. So the idea of like just knowing some people's like

houses and how they prepare food. So I'm just like I'll participate and I will bring store

bought cookies or soda or the plates. But usually you won't really see me eat unless it's probably

my work bestie because I've probably been to their house and I enjoy it.

So not that long ago, we had an office potluck and I had an employee come in the day after and

complain that they were rather sick from another cowork-worker salsa that they had brought in.

So spicy that they got very, very, very sick and was in the bathroom all night.

That second level of detail is always one that you're like, okay.

You know that burned.

So shortly after that employee came in, I had another employee come in and complain also about the salsa.

Uh-huh. And then I had another employee come in about the salsa. Now, what I will say is these three

employees were all in the same department, so I'm sure they talked. And I did know that there was some beef between

one of the coworkers and the person who made the salsa. Now, I did not have the salsa, so I cannot

tell you if it was super spicy or not. But I can tell you that we decided that we were not going to do potlucks after that.

We just thought it was best practice.

And then it actually kind of worked out because COVID hit and no one was doing potlux anyway.
