Despite the dubious glances from the cashier, whose excessively painted eyes seemed to anticipate the impending stomach cramps and the ogling from assorted overweight New Yorkers who licked their lips in jealousy, I proudly did my part to invest in Snickers’ future success. Still, it might surprise you to know that I am patronizing Snickers despite being...
