» s’more please

There are days when I am in the supplyroom/kitchenette just after the poptarts have popped. I am sure if I had one now I would find them a grave disappointment, grainy and at once bland and oversweet, unpalatable, chemical-tasting, but the smell is pure indulgence, decadent childhood mornings. I am thrown back to crisp edges just browning, my tongue burnt on oozy s’more filling, trying to taste the stripes separately, discern some difference in the chocolate and marshmallow flavors. The taste worth the occasional icky dry heavy stomach-feeling afterwards. Even through my present aversion I kind of want them. Imagine filching one. Dream a perfect sweet sugarstorm.

    I would like to make poptarts. But not the premade kind. I would like to figure out how to make them myself, from scratch. Then I would like to put absurd ingredients in them, like bananas and cantaloupe and sunflower seeds (out of the shell). Is this possible, do you think? And, more importantly, would you join me in this?

    You know what would really rock? Making poptarts with poptarts inside. Mmmmmmmmmm.

    …I need caffeine.
