• What's Your "Desert Island" Snack?

  We're all familiar with the "Desert Island" game. If you were on a desert island, what would you take with you? If you're a smart aleck about it, a boat to get off the island. Har har. But more specifically, what person would you take? What book would you take? You know, if you had to choose one.
  
  I propose we ask the Xanga and IRLF population the same thing regarding snacks. When I first came up with the idea, of course, I had to ask myself that very question. Quickly, the competition became a two-horse race of epic and salty proportions.

  On one hand, we have Rold Gold Honey Braided Twists. So good. I have to set limits on myself when I eat these things. Like, I have to take a few pretzels out of the bag, then put the bag into a locked box inside a locked safe... and then bury the whole thing in the ground six feet deep, because I will eat the whole thing. It's like crack to me.

  On the other hand, we have Pepperidge Farm Cheddar Goldfish Crackers. Their slogan should be "Bet You Can't Eat Just One," as in "one bag". I like to take these things by the handful and assault my mouth with cheesy goodness.
  
  Which one to choose? On taste alone, I'm afraid I cannot do so. So, in a somewhat arbitrary ruling, I find for the Goldfish crackers, on the basis that the ones with the faces on them can be my friends after I go crazy living on a desert island. See? I'm always thinking ahead!
  
  If you could only have one snack in an infinite amount on a desert island, which would you choose?
