Review: A Foodfight Which We Know is Going to Happen from the Title and Absolutely Nothing Else, in This Three to Four Minute Read
Rating: 1 out of 5

This isn't really a short story, it's just a scene where one person throws one bit of food at someone and they pick something else up off the table and throw it/pour it on them.  Nothing else happens, there's no point to this story. No substance at all. We know a food fight is going to happen because the author has put as much effort into coming up with a title as she has into the story itself.  If maybe she had called this Holiday Meal or something else, and the food fight was a surprise there might have been something to get out of this.  We don't know the characters before hand so have no attachment to them, maybe if the story had been padded out a bit with other stuff before the food fight then the participants actions may have meant something to us.  It's like a scene taken out of a longer piece, and it means nothing on its own.  It's not even a good food fight! Even though it only takes up a few minutes to read, give this a miss!
