The Multigrain Cheese Puff
once had a friend from the Netherlands
who when walking with me in the city
stopped in a bodega & saw a pack of
cheddar cheese & pretzel
Combos---
i bought them in an instant &
asked him if he wanted some,
however, with a bit of stereotypical
snobbery, he turned up his nose saying something to the
effect of
“there has never been something so american as
Combos…fake sodium pumped cheese inside of stale
carbs & salt” &
i could only imagine if he stumbled upon the same
bag of Bachman’s Multigrain Baked Cheese Curls,
which i saw today &
how his heart might have just
stopped,
as he gasped for breath amidst the
NYC pollution.
