so let us ponder...

Scene: you are in the building cafeteria. You would like an
EverythingBagel. You slice it open at the slicer counter and move
along to the toppings bar. There is whipped butter and whipped cream
cheese - each w/a spreading spatula stabbed into it.

Do you:

A. Use the spreader to put a topping on your EverythingBagel,
depositing pieces of garlic, onion, and poppy seed into the cream
cheese with every swipe?

B. Get a "topping container" and fill it, put a top on it, then use a
plastic knife to actually spread the topping on the bagel once seated
at the breakfast table?

If you said A, PLEASE STOP IT NOW. IF I WANTED GARLIC AND ONIONS IN
MY CREAM CHEESE, I WOULD NOT BE USING THE CREAM CHEESE LABELED "CREAM
CHEESE" BUT INSTEAD WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE "GARLIC & ONION AND
VARIOUS OTHER PIECES OF SOMEONE ELSE'S FOOD" BIN.

Thank you.
