I just saw the smallest bag of Doritos ever… ½ an ounce.
Half. An. Ounce.
That’s not a snack — that’s a sample. That’s a “blink and it’s gone.” That’s a “calorie tease.” 😄
Somewhere a chip said, “We tried.”
Portion control is real… but this felt personal.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning
and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Frida Kahlo married Diego Rivera, divorced him over betrayal, then remarried because their love and artistic bond were stronger than their ability to live apart.
