This is my guilty pleasure.

I tell myself at least it’s low carb.

Louisiana style pork cracklings. Shipped from a Louisiana specialty store.

It’s as addictive as crack.

I spoon my chocolate milk. Ovaltine chocolate malt. All the way down to the last drop. Funny thing is, when I was a kid, my friends would come over and get a chuckle out of watching me spoon my milk. But before very long, every last one of them was doing the exact same thing! My mom would walk in and see all of us sitting at the kitchen table spooning our chocolate milk. She’d just glance over at me and smile, and then just shake her head.
 
You mean you go through a glass of chocolate milk with a spoon?

I couldn’t do that. I would do a few spoons and then gulp the rest down.

You know how quirky things your family does are perfectly normal to you as a kid? My dad always ate popcorn with a spoon. Being a typical mimic, I did too. When I was at a friends and they served popcorn, I asked for a spoon…which led to rollicking laughter and questions of why! I didn’t have an answer but made sure to ask my dad, why do you use a spoon. Answer…he doesn’t like getting his fingers greasy! For him, it made sense to use a spoon, for me, not so much…last time I used a spoon for popcorn. But, if you come to my house when we’re having popcorn and you want a spoon, I won’t blink…I’ll just hand you a spoon! 😍
 
My dad did that, too. He really didn’t like getting his fingers greasy! 😂
 
I love to eat spray cheese. You know, the “cheese” that comes in an aerosol can. Pair it with a Slim Jim, (original or mild flavor) and you have the ultimate in snacks.

Sometimes I can’t wait to get home to eat this, so I’ll sit in my car in the parking lot of the convenience store I bought the cheese and Slim Jims from and eat them there. Don’t tell my husband, but sometimes I’ll stash the trash under the seat so he doesn’t see the evidence of my dark, dirty secret.

I do the same thing, too! 😁

I love cheese-flavored popcorn.

In fact, we can’t have a bag sitting around here for very long, as I’ll just keep snacking on it, as it’s one of my snacking weaknesses! 😳 😫

That’s a perfectly rational reason for eating popcorn with a spoon! When I was in China, a lot of people ate popcorn with their chopsticks. Seemed normal to me when everyone else is doing it!

Getting your fingers greasy is half the fun. I’m tactile.

I don’t like them either. Too sweet. The chocolate should have a richer taste.

And I particularly dislike cookies and cream ice cream.

Chips ahoy though, are not bad.
 
Any kind of store-bought cookie doesn’t seem to compare to eating them warm out of the oven.

I’ve been using a spoon for popcorn and similar snack foods for over seventy years—beats greasy or orange powdered fingers all to heck!

That’s simple. You just lick off your paws and then take a nap.
