You ever felt insignificant? Unspecial? Regular degular shmegular?
Us too.
Maybe a little bitter—certainly more than you were as a fresh young sprout? Tougher as well?
Us too.
Know who else feels that way sometimes?
Twitter.
And also, apparently, spinach.
At least according to the description on one brand's package.
Or maybe the copywriter poured their soul into their work a little too much?
Take a look.

The bitterness that comes with age, loss of the sweet tenderness of youth, somebody you don't even know passive-aggressively attacking you when you're just minding your own business...
It all felt so familiar to Twitter.

But spinach isn't the only one out here people are vibing with.

I get it! Growing up I was taught to not buy Chinese broccoli that had flowered because it was too old. Once you've reproduced, your body's not the same.— Amy CvH (@Amy CvH) 1651780518
And of course there was consideration for the person behind the description.

It's Monday.
Why not start the week off with some self honesty?
Now go get the week, you regular spinaches.
