And you know what Pringles says: "Once you pop, you can't stop." And as Chandler Bing would say...Could that be any truer?
Currently sitting in my overhead cabinet at work I have some delicious Stacy's Pita Chips. Parmesan Garlic & Herb to be exact. YUM. I find myself staring at the clock, waiting patiently until 11:35 so I can allow myself to break out the bag and have some with my home-brought lunch. I have a little problem though and wonder if anyone else does the same (are you reading this, Colleen??). I will usually pour myself my "ration" for the meal on a napkin. I know that if I leave the bag sit open, there is a large chance the contents will be gone in the blink of an eye and i will not only be sad, but also depressed that I allowed myself to get so out of control. Anyway, I pour out my ration and then as I am closing the bag, I grab a few more "extras" to shove in my mouth. I tend to do the same thing when opening the bag. My theory is that these "extras" don't really count as extras, because they have already been eaten and were never intended to be poured on the napkin and into the "ration" in the first place. Does this make sense? It's almost like they never existed. I do this at home too. I will make a grilled cheese or something and put some Cheeto's on a plate while I wait for my sandwich to turn golden brown. Instead of putting the bag away, I instead eat "extras" form the bag sitting on the counter. Why don't I just take the Cheeto's from the plate onto which I already poured them you ask? Well that would take away from my "ration" and you know that's never a good thing.
