The Daily (or whenever) Eruption

Full Snack Disclosure Tuesday 10/6/2020

We all have our guilty pleasures. Drugs and drink aside, we secretly enjoy snacks and sweets that we’re told aren’t good for us. Currently mine is an ur-corn-chip, bags of which I’ve long enjoyed but until recently have eschewed. In my dotage, though, I’ve come to my senses: Popcorn, potato chips, and pork rinds are fine, but for me, nothing hits the spot like a fistful or two of Frito-Lay’s Fritos, those little crispy and salty strips of stone-ground goodness.

In the supermarket today, when I decided to replenish my supply, I had choices of BBQ, jalepeno, lime & chile (sic), and more than 20 other varieties bursting with flavor. I chose Original, as I always do, that boasts 160 calories per serving, 13% fat but only 7% of it saturated, 5% of dietary fiber, and only 7% of sodium. The label says ingredients are corn, corn oil, and salt. What’s not to like, save for but a scant 2g of protein?

About Progressive Pilgrim

The pilgrims plod toward salvation, lords, ladies, knaves and fools, dogs of doubt nipping at their heels, peeps becoming perps by the time the journey is over and the dogs are dead.

Sometimes you're a peep, one of the gang, taking it all in. Other times you're a perp, taking action, nudging reality for better or worse.

On this site you'll find stories, mostly about perps, some true others imagined. Just like life, by turn reflective, reactive, rewarding, and ridiculous.

Explore. Read. Comment. Enjoy.
