Why do I eat these?


I have a love/hate relationship with Fritos Chili Cheese corn chips. I ate them for the first time about 12 years ago. I found them at a small deli I would go to for lunch with friends from work. They sounded like they would be good, so I decided to give them a whirl. I didn't really think that they were that great and I even said, "these really aren't that great, but I can't stop eating them." They were so addictive, I ate the whole bag and for some strange reason they also caused me to crave Cherry Coke as a way to wash them down. I ate the two together for days on end, everyday, for months. Every time I would eat them I would say, "I really don't like these, but I just HAVE to keep eating them." I gradually began to realize how terrible my addiction was. So, I slowly weaned myself off of them and eventually I was going for months at a time in between eating them. Occasionally, I will still buy them. In a convoluted sort of way, I kind of consider them to be a treat for myself. I still think to myself, every time I eat them, "these really aren't that great, but I can't stop eating them."
