Are microchips the latest "lite" chip???

Okay, so I had to get my microchip today....getting ready for Hawaii is what I was told. I assumed, being the lady that I am, that a microchip was a new fast food for my figure. Lo and behold--was I shocked and VERY disappointed when Dr. Rob stuck me with this thing and then I heard Fiona say "now that was easy." So why do I not feel satisfied? Somehow sticking something between my shoulder blades is NOT my idea of a snack.....
