C is for Cookie

Hemanshu sent me a link from the Consumerist the other day, with a picture of a Kentucky restaurant that devised a clever little way to disguise its “C” health rating.

Reminded me of a time back in 2002 – LA County was one of the first places to require publicly posting health ratings. I was in the Century City mall food court, and the pizza place there had a “C” health rating. An elderly Hispanic lady walked up to the counter, and the following conversation ensued with the pizza shop owner, translated from Spanish:

“What is that letter on the wall?”
“What letter?”
“The big ‘C’ there.”
“Ohhh! That! The ‘C’ is for Jesus Christ!”
“Ah! How wonderful, of course it is! I will have that slice there, to go”

Awesome.
