Comfort or convenience?

Its been a long day, you're glad to be home to kick your feet up and watch a little bit of teevee to forget the dramas that earlier transpired in your day. then you feel a rumble in your tum. what to do? what do you reach for, (ignoring nutritional recommendations, of course)? for me, in a just world where tasty food is also healthy food (i acknowledge that its not always mutally exclusive), i would pick the bbq shape (or several, thanks) to keep me company on the couch.



what is it about these pieces of hexagonal bliss that taste so great? probably the ridiculously high sodium content and the illusion that the red bits taste spicy and the green are vegetable (so its good for you). I used to go through a box or two in my time but these days i practice some temperance and thankfully have managed to avoid situations where i might encounter bbq shapes (thank goodness the cost of these things have skyrocketed - $2.40 a box!).

... yeah, those BBQ shapes are pretty fantastic, although it always baffles me as to how quickly they can disappear once you take the perilous step of opening up the box. and the best thing - they've got flavour you can see (well, if you squint really hard and take those ads literally).

I loved the tessalation effect!

Nicely put Serenity Layter... the green is vegetable and the red is BBQ... and the clear crystals? Why of corse it's MSG or LSD or some other kind of delicious flavour enhancing substance!

Yippee!!
