"back when I ate chip sandwiches because they were hilarious, not because I was broke"

"Food is expensive. Once I finally realized this, I quit eating breakfast—it’s pointless. And I gave up good-tasting coffee for the free stuff in my office. It’s the kind that comes from a tiny plastic canister that you load into a machine like a video cartridge; after two or three cups I get a metallic-resonant ache in the back of my neck. But no one believes me that it’s the coffee. For lunch, it’s Subway: $3.19 plus tax for three to five vegetable servings (a six-inch Veggie Delight) is a deal. I like to splurge for the chips (only $1.50 with a drink) and then put them inside my sandwich. Sure, sometimes I reminisce about the early 2000s—back when I ate chip sandwiches because they were hilarious, not because I was broke. Then again, they still taste the same. Things aren’t that bad". — The Morning News Intern Matt Robison
