Snacks for Sloths

When you’re curled up and cozy on the couch while watching your favorite chick flick, your body becomes relaxed and no one can move you out of your comfy position.



You glance to the kitchen and wonder if it’s worth the trouble to make a snack. You sigh and shake your head but the rumbling in your stomach never ceases. In the end, you succumb to the admonitions of your belly and heave yourself off the couch.

You open whatever door you find and grab whatever item you can reach. You place them on the table and wonder what the heck you can make out of these items: a jar of peanut butter, a bag of chips, and a loaf of bread. Sure it’ll taste just as good when you eat it separately, but why not try and to let go of all rational thinking and let your taste buds guide you?

This is a dish that I have only just discovered and it tastes superb! You can really feel the mouthwatering saltiness of the chips mixing with just the right amount of sweetness from the peanut butter. A deluge of flavors overwhelm your senses and right now, it’s just you and your food. Oozing with flavor, this is definitely up on my list of must-try's!


I’m no food critic but trust my word on this. If you’re too lazy to haul yourself and make something edible to eat, just slap these three ingredients together and voila! A bottle of Coke also goes a long way so be sure to buy a least a few bottles. Your TV buddies will definitely sing you praises for raising the bar in sloth bingeing.

The Weirdness Begins

        Do you ever get bored when you arrive home and find yourself making the same stuff again and again? You open the refrigerator door and pull out the usual: peanut butter and jelly. You make a face and cry out, "Again?"


This is what happens when you're too busy to let your imagination run wild. Well, you're missing half of your life if you don't start putting together some of the weirdest food combinations. This blog will talk about  and critique the weird food combinations that I and my friends enjoy and a few reasons why certain number of the world's population enjoy being this weird.

        If you're a bit of a daredevil when it comes to experimenting with food, get ready to have your socks blown off as you read about some of the weirdest food combinations that I will compile here in my blog. Let me warn you, our weirdness level is off the meter so you better have a strong stomach and a few cans of Coke at hand if you want to try everything on my list. Yes, I am talking about peanut butter pickle sandwiches, graham crackers dipped in water, and so much more. Don't worry if you're afraid that people will look at you like you're crazy when you start dipping you're pancakes in ketchup. We all have our own list of weird food combos that's enough to make other people cringe in disgust as we lick our fingers in satisfaction.

        All of these may sound gross and I can imagine your faces crumpling in disgust as you read this. You're probably thinking that there is nothing on earth that can convince you to try this at home. Well think again! Close your eyes and notice that your vision is immediately obscured by darkness. Suddenly, lights float into the sky and one by one, fireworks burst before your very eyes as you take a bite into your mouthwatering masterpiece. Remember that this is your creation as you imagine a deluge of flavors all singing in perfect harmony with each other as they blend together to create a single entity.

         This is your meal, your plate, and your mouth. The only other person aside from your mother who can dictate you on what to eat is your doctor. So if you've been cleared, pull up a chair, start rooting around the fridge, and let your taste buds guide you. Step aside PB & J, there's a new kid in town.
