I apparently neglected to give this bowl a title. I snapped a picture of my beloved hearty, warm breakfast in a happy, earthy orange bowl, and waited for the app to get back to me. The data from the second meal was in, but I'll save the big reveal for the end. Then, I went over to my cabinet, took out my trusty old favorite oatmeal, the Quaker Multi Grain Hot Cereal, measured out 1/2 cup, threw in 3/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, and microwaved it for a minute and a half. I snapped a picture of that same oatmeal in its new habitat, called it 'Same Oatmeal in Bowl,' and notated that it was an 'Afternoon Snack'. By this time, the app had already gotten back to me with the data on the first meal. I simply moved the McDonald's Oatmeal to a plain white bowl.

Share your thoughts: Show some love to your local shops by letting them know that you love their food. It is their way of keeping track that they are handing out the right food to the right people. But in the Too Good To Go app, you need to let the shop staff swipe your receipt. Let the shop do the swiping: What you do on your Tinder profile is completely up to you. That’s the magic of it! It’s about saving what’s left at the end of the day - and if it’s not really your taste, maybe you know someone who’ll love it? You can’t always be sure what will be in your magic bag or magic box. But sometimes, a little change can be a good thing. Look forward to the surprise: We humans are creatures of habit so we like knowing what we’re going to get.
