I got a problem with Thomas' bagels

I buy Thomas' everything bagels cos I like them the best. They're big, chewy, and they come 6 to a package. Seriously, a bag of 5 bagels is just ridiculous. But the one problem I have with Thomas' everything bagels is that they always have waaaaaay too many poppy seeds on the bagel. I end up having to scrape off a few thousand poppy seeds before it even becomes edible. Just look at the bagel I had this morning:

Totally ridiculous! Nobody wants that many poppy seeds!

A more reasonable bagel, post-scraping.
