Pride Goeth Before A Fall

Like antisemitism, bagels are on the rise the world over. Just here in the United States the current bagel market is worth $6.3 billion and is estimated to reach $8.99 billion by 2032. 

What's funny is that while everyone likes bagels, not everyone likes Jews, who invented them. They first appeared in Jewish communities in Eastern Europe, particularly Poland, during the early 17th century: "The first written mention of bagels appears in 1610, in the Community Regulations of Krakow, where bagels were noted as a gift to be given to women after childbirth." 

As a Jew, I am somewhat offended by the fact that bagels are so popular while Jews are so unpopular. It's like hating Italians but loving pizza. 

Yesterday I went to my local supermarket and found an abomination in the bakery department. My husband thinks it's a "rainbow" bagel, this being Pride Month. If so, those gays have their hands on everything! Anyway, if that's the case then they won't be around next month. One can only hope. (Rainbow bagels, not gays.)
