Combo confession

I have eaten Combos for dinner the past two nights. It is something I've been actually doing a lot lately. I ate Combos for lunch nearly every day of high school senior year, and then went without Combos, or even thinking of Combos, until recently. Then one day a month or 2 ago, I just had to have some. I indulged this craving, because it was so random. Then I had to have Combos like 3 nights in a row. Every night after work, stop at CVS, buy a bag of Combos, and eat it with a Coke Zero. This lasted for like 3 nights. Uncontrollable need for Combos. Then it went away. I thought, "Wow. Weird." But wasn't concerned until I had another Combo issue a few weeks later, lasting only 2 nights. And now it is back for the second or third time. Last night was night 2....I think I can resist tonight.

I only like the original kind- pretzel and cheddar cheese. The name "cheddar" is used loosely here, because it in no way resembles the texture of real cheese. Or fake cheese for that matter. I bet there is not one natural ingredient in these things. Perhaps that's why I'm strangely addicted. It is not related to period cravings. But it could be related to quitting smoking? Is there nicotine in Combos? Maybe that's it- I started smoking towards the end of senior year in high school....when I stopped eating Combos daily!!!!! Coincidence? I think not.

i love combos. this is making me want combos. there's something about the taste and the crunch and the dryness. i don't know why dryness is appealing. it just is. i like dry snack better than moist snack.
