A hungry bolstalova is an angry bolstalova
I want my Ruffles!!!! ROARRR!!!
Anyway, I have this new disease since July. How should I put it? Well, I’m constantly hungry.
Go on, laugh all you want. But I’m really, terribly, pathetically hungry even at this very moment. Problem is, I have three complete meals everyday, and snacks in between! I even have supper, fgs! I’m so very hungry that I have troubles falling asleep (refer to Things that Keep Me Awake At Night)
Possible explanations for my persistent hunger:
- I’m growing up. Sure, I’m growing some 3-4cm of fats layer (don’t take this too seriously, it’s a hyperbole
)
- I have diabetes. Probably…
- I have some meanie creatures inside my stomach waiting to be fed. Ew. Science fiction meets bad horror.
- I don’t get enough nutrients. I like this one best.
So, over the weekend I bought some food supplies to ensure I have something to chomp whenever I’m hungry (I should jog more!!!). And one thing that I’ve been craving for is MANGO!!
Problem is, I’ve never cut a mango in my entire life. Take a look at my cute little mango just before the extreme makeover:
And here’s one after the extreme makeover (a really extreme one):
And it’s not even sweet.
ROARRRR. I was even hungrier and I got gastric pain. Sobs.

Ruffles and I
I chanced upon this article on time.com: 9 Kid Foods to Avoid
I had a very bad feeling, I wouldn’t want to find my beloved Ruffles Cheddar on the list. But curiousity conquered, I clicked the Next button each time with my heart pounding. Number 7 on the list, no Ruffles. Number 8 on the list, still no Ruffles. And finally, the last on the list…still no Ruffles.
MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I shouldn’t feel bad about chomping down those potato chips “with ridges” after all! It’s not on the list of food kids should avoid. Let me celebrate with a pack of Ruffles then
But, wait. I realise something.
All the food listed by time.com appear to have claimed that they have various health benefits (which were rejected by time.com). And you know what, Ruffles or any Frito Lay’s product have never boasted about healthy benefits (like for example: “Ruffles Cheddar! Now fats free!” or “Nothing satisfy your vitamin needs like Dorritos”), so it’s perfectly understandable that they won’t be put on the list. After all, who are not aware of the high fats amount per serving in those delectable bags of chips?
Frankly, I have been detaching myself from Ruffles quite successfully, but whenever moody-blues (that’s my idiolect, let’s call it bolstalovan, for mood swings) kick in, I succumb to Ruffles. Or Mr Potato. Or Chachos. Or Dorritos. Or Cheetos. Or any cheesy, salty chips in vicinity.
