The Chili Cook Off Scandal

The Chili Cook Off Scandal

We had a chili cook off contest at work today.

How could you possibly go wrong with a food contest?!?

I'll tell you how.....

Leave the ballot bucket unattended.

I found it surprising that more people hadn't voted for a favorite..... The breakroom was non-stop foot traffic.

Only, there were very few votes!

It became clear to me, however, when I began sorting out the votes and noticed my OWN vote was not there. I had sampled each and every entry, scrutinizing taste and texture, finally coming to a decision and casting a vote.

A vote that was no longer in the bucket.

WTF??

Somehow, someone managed to remove God knows how many votes from the bucket.

Which led to the dried out, overcooked, tomato paste chili getting the most votes and a CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP coming in 3rd place.

Fantastic.

    Quoting HermanG67:
    are you sure it was slightly politically motivated?
Events like these tend to be a popularity contest to begin with, anyway.... It just kind of sucks when people cheat on top of it.

    Quoting HAMONMAN:
    so, was this supposed to be one of those (dreaded) team building exercises ?
No, actually. It was just a fun food thing we decided to do to break up the monotony. It was fun..... Until it was time to count the votes.

    Was Trump, or any of his appointees/business ass-ociates present during your cook off?

 I definitely think there was some cheating involved.
