Why don’t they make Wasabi Flavored Rice Cakes?

I have to confess that I’m a fan of rice cakes. Yeah, I know everyone says they taste like styrofoam, and while I wouldn’t quite debate that point, I would like to point out that they’re not as bad tasting as some claim. Karen the kitten loves them too, especially the white cheddar flavor. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that she merely sucks off the cheddar flavor and then spits out the rice in a secret location.
My only complaint is that they need more variety. Why doesn’t Quaker Oats make them in a nacho flavor? Or even Tabasco? Awhile back ago, we tried Wasabi Flavored Funyuns, and those were pretty darn good. I was surprised at how much I liked them, and I’m disappointed that I can’t find them any more in my local stores. I wish Quaker would buy up the unused Wasabi powder and use it to spice up a few batches of their rice cakes.
I do eat a lot of rice cakes, mostly at the keyboard lately because I’m spending so many hours working online. Sometimes, it feels like that’s all I’m doing is sitting with Karen on my lap, while I work on the laptop. The other day, I thought my days at the laptop were going to have to go on hold for awhile, because I thought I had broken it. As I was closing the lid, I heard a small, sickening crunch. I was afraid that somehow, I had cracked the screen, and almost didn’t want to open back up to see how bad the damage was. My daughter was in the room with me, and we both gave each other those big moon eye looks, like “OH NO!”
So, I gave out a big sigh, and opened the case very slowly… didn’t see anything at first glance, so I opened it up all the way. Screen was fine, but way in the back, at the hinge, was a crushed kernel of a rice cake.
Do you suppose Karen put it there?
