Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Do you have a food that came to symbolize a period of time in your life? For me, that would be Zapp's potato chips. The chips came to be a symbol of my college years, and all the time I spent hanging out with friends in local bars.
Before I started going to the bars downtown, I had never heard of Zapp's. Those chips just happened to be ubiquitous to the bars in Athens, GA, where I went to college. However, as they were the some of the only food available at the bars, I did munch down my fair share of them. The chips, with names like Spicy Cajun Crawtators and Cajun Dill Gator-tators, are pretty good, though not the best. The flavors are on the unique side and they are always nice and crunchy.
I haven't had Zapp's in a very long time. I've had them since graduating from college, but I don't eat much in the way of potato chips as part of my long term health goals. Even though I don't eat them, just seeing a bag takes me back to the good times I had, hanging out with friends at the local pub. Do you have a food memory like this?

I was trying to come up with $.25 for a box of Kraft macaroni & cheese. I had great times in that apartment, with some very interesting people. Every so often I spend the $.75 for a box of that stuff and get some warm and fuzzies. Interesting though that the price hasn't gone up very much in the intervening 37 years.
Foodies note that even though I could have gotten a store brand for about 17 or 18 cents, even then I was willing to sacrifice and pay for quality. Good crap is always better than crappy crap.
