I have a refined palate, really, I do. I prefer subtle undertones, full bodied flavors and rich tastes that role off the tongue like velvet.
I have prepared a menu that properly illustrates my indulgences, pairing only the finest of flavors with their best match. See under taste:
Diet coke with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (the sodium highlights the sweetness of the high-fructose corn syrup in the jelly)
Mountain Dew with a chicken ceasar wrap (the fake lime flavor accentuates the pepper in the processed chicken)
Diet Cherry Coke with Lay’s potato chips (salty and sweet, oh my!)
Diet Pepsi with Pizza (I think this is a legacy apertif: every time I went to Pizza Hut as a child I enjoyed this. Ah, nostalgia!)
And finally…
TAB with CheeseNips (I defer once again to my youth, high school was the cultural epicenter of this taste explosion. Each time a subtle note of fake cheese hits my lips I long for TAB-by goodness.)
I hope that we can indulge together sometime!
Until next time, Bon Appetit!

How could you have forgotten sugarfree Redbull and corndogs!
The Redbull, with it’s lightly carbonated and (thanks to the sugarfree) subtle sweetness, pairs extremely well with the firm, textured outer shell of a corn dog, not to mention it’s succulent, juicy inside.
I’m just saying.
