This afternoon, during our Pathfinder session, I pulled out my contribution to our gaming snacks – a bag of Cheez Balls. It was a bag, as opposed to the well known blue canister with yellow top. Also, the bag had a cartoon crocodile wearing sunglasses on it. Sadly, I did not think to take a photo before the bag was empty and in the trash.
Let me tell you…a page taken from childhood was revisited. It was delicious corn crunch. It was delicious cheese taste. It was delicious atomic orange powder becoming weirdly sticky on your fingers at the slightest hint of humidity.
I think that everyone was pretty excited to eat them, and I think we all tried at least one (before, you know, finishing off an entire bag in maybe 20 minutes). While I am not prepared to make Cheez Balls a recurring item on my grocery list, they were completely and totally a blast from the past bit of deliciousness and I loved every cheezy crunchy airy moment. Go ahead. Buy a bag. It’s worth all two dollars and ninety-eight cents on sale. You’ll be happy you did.
