Creative topic essay of university of Chicago

"Have you ever walked through the aisles of a warehouse store like Costco or Sam’s Club and wondered who would buy a jar of mustard a foot and a half tall? We’ve bought it, but it didn’t stop us from wondering about other things, like absurd eating contests, impulse buys, excess, unimagined uses for mustard, storage, preservatives, notions of bigness…and dozens of other ideas both silly and serious. Write an essay somehow inspired by super-huge mustard."

Yellow, full of yellow in a big plastic jar, this color is the only first impression of super-huge mustard jar. A plastic jar which is as big as a calf is full of one color, yellow. Suddenly, I had a question, why is mustard sauce yellow? I know mustard plant is yellow. However, it is not as yellow as the sauce made from it. So, what is the main cause of absolute yellow? Sugar? Vinegar? Or other things? And what color would it be when mustard sauce decays? Someone who buys super-huge mustard will know this color but I don't know. Then, what if mustard’s color were blue of black?

As soon as I think about black or blue mustard, I wonder if people would still eat mustard even if it is black or blue, assuming that the taste is the same. I don’t know how other people like but I would not eat black or blue mustard. Chicken nugget with blue mustard sauce is a little bit disgusting for me. I think I can't eat blue chicken nugget even though its taste is the same.

However, am I right? It could be natural response for blue mustard sauce, but there is no change in mustard sauce except the its color. . Actually, the taste of mustard sauce is not related with its color and the usage of mustard source is to eat, not to see. But, I thought blue mustard sauce would not be tasty although I have never tried it. I believe this thought is a prejudice against blue mustard.

There is a lot of 'blue mustard sauce' in society. The colored, the physically or mentally disabled people, the ugly. They are 'blue mustard sauce in society. Many people, who are yellow mustard sauce in society, have prejudices against blue mustard sauce and even discriminate them. We just think them as an aberration from the standard. For example, the colored are considered as potential criminals or and the disabled are considered as not being able to do anything at all.. And a lot of people accept these prejudice or discrimination without any criticism.

However, both yellow mustard sauce and blue mustard sauce are tasty. They do go with chicken nugget. We never try tasting blue mustard sauce event though its taste would be the same as yellow one. Aren't we doing the same thing to the colored or the disabled? Appearance is just a part of one person and we should know that it doesn't affect the authentic character of a person.
