One Sweet Pyramid

Maybe you've been there. You start with a foundation of Sugar in the Raw, then add some Domino super structure, and climax with a crest of Sweet'n Low, only to see your sugar packet pyramid crash to the floor like ancient Egyptian ruins.

I know every time I've tried to build a pyramid out of sugar packets, it has ended like 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2,' leaving me tired, bored, and wondering what a sugar-covered Keira Knightley tastes like.

Then I saw it done. When Justine completed her tiered temple, our table clapped, and then the adjacent table, and then the table adjacent to them. Soon, everyone in the diner was either gazing in awe at her architecture, or continuing to quietly eat their breakfast, having not noticed the feat at all.

Once the meal arrived, we equipped our forks, knives, napkins and went to town on what turned out to be a delicious rebuttal to our previous night of drinking. My egg sandwich on a bagel with jalapeno jack cheese (mmmmm) was worth the wait, but this made it that much sweeter. And when Justine did eventually knock it down, I realized that a sugar-covered Keira Knightley probably tastes like a Sour-Patch Kid.
