Things That Make Me Feel Like a Grown-Up: Lay's Ranch Dip
1) I generally eat pretty well, but sometimes I need that magical combination of salty, crispy potato chips (Ruffles, what else?), creamy chemical-laden goodness, and zesty undefined herbs, and you know what? I can have them any time I want, because I'm a grown-up and nobody can tell me not to.
2) Lots of times I put my potato chips on a plate for easier access. I eat my POTATO CHIPS off a PLATE. That's pretty classy.
3) Lots of times I wash down my chips and ranch dip with a bourbon on the rocks. Kids don't do that. Usually.
4) I don't eat the whole bag of chips and the whole jar of dip in one sitting. I exercise restraint, like a grown-up should. I eat a slightly-larger than reasonable amount, put both items in the fridge (keeps the cat out of the chips), wait 10 minutes, then take an Alka-Seltzer. Because you know what? Ranch dip gives grown-ups heartburn. And I, sadly, am apparently a grown-up.
