Some observations on food

Do you think that fun shapes make food taste better? I bought some Townhouse crackers in the shape of snowmen and somehow they were so much better than regular Townhouse crackers. And my Cheez-its in the shape of penguins, definitely better. Shape makes a difference, right?

The last couple of times I've taken my niece grocery shopping, I've seen the Doritos with no added dyes or whatever. Here's the thing: yes, it is definitely better for us. But neon colored food is how you know it's not good for you. If your really unhealthy food (or food-like substances, as my brother refers to them) looks the same color as actual healthy food, it's way too easy to convince myself that it's fine to eat the unhealthy stuff.

Finally, I saw today that Butterfinger has released a special French toast edition. WHY??? In the name of all that a taste bud would want to experience, why would a French toast Butterfinger be one of them? I like breakfast foods as much as anyon but they really don't have to be in everything. Breakfast and dessert can be two separate things.
