"Traveling With The 99%": 8 Essential Items To Traveling In Economy Class

6. Combos

Since you're going to allow yourself to indulge in junky clothing and junky literature, it stands to reason that you deserve a little junk food also, right? And in the annals of junky, objectively horrifying processed snack food that is nevertheless undeniably compelling, Combos has got to be at the top of the list. A pretzel shaped like a machine part, filled with a large amount of orange goo? Flavors like "Bacon" and "Pepperoni Pizza" that contain no actual meat or dairy whatsoever? Yes, it's gross, but it's almost so gross (while simultaneously tasting pretty undeniably good) that there's an extremely specific and perverse kind of transgressive satisfaction that one gets while eating them. Basically, eating Combos feels like the way drinking alcohol felt when you were 16. It's wrong and scary and kind of sickening and really exciting. [photo via]
