Crack Fries

Me and Buffy were discussing last night the power of the almighty French fry in the car while you are driving. For example say you have just pulled out of your favorite fast food spot. The meal you purchased is for when you get home. What is the very first thing we do when they hand us the bag? We take one fry out and eat one. This is an automatic response. Then as we drive down the road we continue to slowly stick our arm in the bag uncontrollably and eat the fries and before you know it you arrive home with a burger and a drink. The fries have been consumed and the only thing you might have are those fry-like croutons at the bottom that nobody really eats.

Now let me show you a dilemma I have had before. I have put one fry in my mouth and made a decision that I will only eat one. While I drive down the road I think of how great another fry would be. So I convince myself that I can eat just one more and that is just it. Ohhhhhh... how great that fry was. But soon the taste fades and the desire for more attacks again. So this leads me to two scenarios:

1) I put a fry in my mouth and slowly let it dissolve over the period of a car ride. That way I get the taste and only one more fry is eaten. The problem with that is I have now created some sort of gooey fry paste in my mouth.

2) I allow myself 10 fries. I divide that up for the car trip home. It may turn out to be one a minute or more. Proven to be the best of the two.

This is why I have labeled this post "Crack Fries". In no way do I think they are laced with crack but somehow the mixture of old fry grease and potatoes makes those little demons irresistible. So feel free to use my cooping mechanisms. I strongly discourage those with weak stomaches to use scenario 1.
