Couscous gets everywhere, no matter how hard you try to keep it contained.

Nature Valley crunchy granola bar has entered the chat, and everywhere within fifteen feet of one being consumed. Heck even unwrapping one sends granola glitter flying.

My wife put one in her purse about 10 years ago. Since then, I’m sure we have removed five or six of these bars. It seems to be a permanent purse fixture, eternally at the bottom of the bag.

I'm more impressed by her having the same purse for a decade+

If you treat leather with respect and care it can hold a lifetime. My leather jacket easily nears the 10 year mark too with thr only damage being near the sleeves.

Quinoa and then each individual escaped piece sticks to everything like glue.

Came here to say this.

I do not advise ever giving a baby quinoa.

I have never had this experience with couscous. And I have been making and eating it for about 40 years.

I consider myself well-coordinated, but I've had no such luck with couscous. Especially when transferring from the pot to another container. It decides to stick together, then randomly makes an avalanche as I'm scooping, creating a mess of grains from the countertop to the floor.

If I measure, I measure within the bag. Pour that into a jar and add herbs, oil, and hot water into the jar. Then serve from the jar.

You know that super flaky dough used in some salty or sweet pastries? Today someone brought a bag of those at work, and the break room was totally nuked as a result. No matter how careful you are, those flakes are going to get everywhere. [insert relevant prequel meme here]

Yup! That happens every time with croissants.
