3. Popcorn is good. However, it is relatively hard to
put cream cheese and pepper jelly on popcorn.

Hence, the Triscuit. God's perfect food.

9. There is no more perfect manufactured food.
In the natural realm, I'd vote for avocado as the perfect food.

14. I can't agree
Now if we're talking about a Triscuit with edamame dip smeared on it, then you might have something as you would have carbs, a complete protein, and salt. That and beer is all you truly need to survive.

Actually, the term "cheesehead" is a colloquial term Minnesotans use to describe their dairy-farming neighbors to the east. :hi:

20. Pretty much any cheese is good with me.

On the coast, "cheeseheads" are people from Wisconsin.....more specifically, the Packers fans. :hi:

29. Reese's Cups.
Triscuits are good, no doubt, but they're even better if you squirt some Cheez Whiz on 'em.

Reese's Cups cannot be improved upon.

Do they actually TASTE like indigo? Or do they call them that to fool us into buying them?

32. I find that people fall into two camps: the Triscuit camp or the Wheat Thins camp.
And now I know which side you fall on. Uh-huh, that's right.

39. My family loves grits. Me? Not so much.
I am very texture oriented when it comes to my food. One reason I don't eat oysters. Blech. Or okra. Double blech.
