...salt shaker. A single serving of instant chocolate pudding can have twice as much sodium as a small bag of potato chips, and a scoop of cottage cheese three times that of a handful of salted peanuts. Thanks in part to the sodium in baking powder and baking soda, baked goods and cereals are the No. 1 source of sodium in the diet of many Americans. Preservatives such as sodium benzoate and sodium nitrite and flavorings like monosodium glutamate (MSG) also contribute. Even vitamin C is often added to foods in the culpable form of sodium ascorbate...
...Soda presents a major challenge in the battle of man versus machine, particularly at Alex's where the instrumentation is exclusively state of the art. The Coke-spitting units have to be programmed for the desired amount of soda and an appropriately sized cup. On my maiden run, however, I paired a small cup with a large soda, creating a substantial overflow, which mostly ended up on my orange-and-black Alex's uniform...
...there would be no need for Mr. Shuttleworth. No Gobbler would have been welcome in the days when Kilroy was here. But Kilroy is not here any more and his, in any case, was a benevolent omnipresence.

No place in the country is safe, but New York City is actually under siege, its walls tottering under the cumulative weight of the lettering. So dire are the city...
...finish the Expos paper (unthinkable), go to sleep (dire in consequence), or stroll down to the Square and The Store which (almost) never shuts, to aid procrastination with brownies. Or Hershey bars. Or Milano cookies. Or Entenmann chocolate chip cookies. Or Brach's Giant Circus Peanuts. Or cigarettes. Or soda. Or "doughnuts that look like they're about to implode." Or incense with erotic pictures on the packages. Or mixed nuts. Or penny candy, gum, or mints. Even the customers who refer to it as "Steal 24" admit that the place seems to stock every type of junk food known...
...still screaming for sugar." He's not on a full-scale food run, the student explains, just a Snickers bar and some penny candy. The average sale is, in fact, about $1.50, Higgins says, but that takes into account the 340 sales a day of a single can of soda, the people who come just for a break and buy a single three-cent mint, and, conversely, the ones who are locked into a pattern of four or five dollars worth a night...
