Guinea Pig

Just heard something I won't forget - a person telling their story and how they just have to get back to a strange place far away from home said they were served roast guinea pig as a meal.

No, I didn't ask if it tasted like chicken... and they didn't say.

It's called Cuy - this roasted delicacy - and they didn't say that either... I looked it up on my own.

I hope to never have a similar experience, but what they said will stay with me for a long time.

And they want to go back to this place and need help getting there... so this wasn't clickbait - it fit the trajectory of the story they were telling.

That's the kind of attention-grabbing hook that works.

Do you have a guinea pig story in your back pocket?

If not, you need one.
