That very night in Matt’s car his stomach growled and growled and growled until his hungry self could take no more and the drive became unbearable and a pickup rumbled by nearly cutting off poor Matt as he drove off up Best and Knab and way up Clark past J.P.’s and almost over a roundabout to where the mild wings are.

Some foods aren’t designed to be eaten with your hands. But a lot of foods are. Today, I want to know what YOU think leaves the tastiest afterfoods on your fingers.

While salt and vinegar chips aren’t my favorite, the afterfoods produced are definitely the most substantial of all. #2: Wings A saucy wing that covers not only your fingers, but your forearms, face, and table is pretty much heaven. Don't give me a wet nap, give me a bath. #1: Cheez-It Snack Mix Double Cheese Whatever this combination of fake powdered cheeses they’ve stuck to the crunchy morsels inside these boxes, I ...
