On my way to the train station the other day, I was offered a breakfast bar with a card attached to it. I didn't really pay attention until I got on the train and noticed that the card was a greeting from South Mountain Community Church, inviting me to join them in worship one of these days.
I didn't have the opportunity to return the breakfast bar with the explanation that a candy bar wasn't going to convince me to convert from Judaism; but neither did I have the conscience to consume the thing (even though it did have a hechsher). So I put it in the communal fride at work, with the card prominently displayed, figuring that someone else wouldn't have the same qualms as me. We're a very diverse company - I suspect that every major religion is represented.
Well, it's been several days, and the bar is still there, with the card and all. The next step in my experiment is to remove the card and see if it's eaten soon after that.
Several weeks even have passed by now. Is the bar still uneaten?

... and another two weeks go past. Surely the bar will soon be inedible.
