The Candy Bar Family Tree (Infographic)

The other night I was mercilessly bombarded by commercials for Ancestry.com, those ads where people learn something about their ancestors that they end up really proud of.  I imagine a site like this won't be needed as Facebook documents the rest of our lives, our children's lives, and sooner or later starts auto-generating profiles for our long-gone ancestors.

In the end, I didn't give my own family information to the website.  I don't want to know if my grandmother's claims about my ancestry is true.  To be honest, I prefer the magic and mystery in imagining that I'm somehow actually related to Henry VII, Pocahontas, and my Father.  Instead, I entered the birth credentials of a Snickers chocolate bar I was keeping safe for somebody (sorry, Jordan.  Someone ate it).  The very next day, a little green leaf appeared on Ancestry.com, and you'll never guess what I learned from there.

The Flip Side!

Um...excuse me, Mr. Food Moves Guy.  Your sandwich is upside-down.  And is that a fish sandwich?  Gross!

Ferguson Brewing Company, Ferguson MO
There are a few things I won't tolerate from hypothetical comments, and one is negativity.  YES, it's upside-down.  YES, it's a fish sandwich (cod, in case you were curious).  NO, it's not gross...at least no more disgusting than the two of us (I can be pretty repulsive so I'm counting on you to average us out).

Yet the question remains, why is this sandwich upside-down?
