Corn nuts

Many fond memories that I have from my childhood are from lunch time at school. I never went to public school, so for the most part sack lunches where my only option. The closest thing that we had to cafeteria food was food purchased from local venders, that was marked up and sold during lunch. One of the problems for me growing up was that I loved food a little too much. So in order to fulfill my ever growing need for food I started to buy things from the school on top of the sack lunch I was already bringing.

Knowing that I could only get fifty cents to and extra dolor from my parents each day, I started to try and find what I could by that was the most filling for what I was paying. The snack that I ended up deciding was the food that gave me the most bang for my buck, where corn nuts. The school sold them for fifty cents a piece. That meant at minimum I was going to get at least a bag of nuts to eat after my meal. One the cool days that I got a dolor, I would either get another bad of nuts of a can of soda; which also cast only a dolor.

The cool thing about the corn nuts where that they came in a variety of flavors. They came in salted, bbq, ranch, nacho cheese, and other flavors. The flavor that I got the most was the ranch style. This was because I really like the stuff they used to season it. Later in life when girls started to become more important, I stopped with the extra food and stated to play organized sports. My affection for corn nuts faded away as well.
