[at-l] lightweight snickers

[icw39@ncfreedom.net (Clark Wright)]

Little Debbies and Twinkies probably have the highest calorie bang per
ounce of anything you can carry, which leads me to observe that one of
the great wonders of a thru-hike is that there is no such thing as junk
food, or food with too much fat.  I remember how we used to joke and
laugh in the supermarket about all the signs screaming "fat free" "low
fat" and "sugar free."  We even asked a stockboy once if he could lead
us to the "fat and suger and calorie filled" sections - he sure gave us
a strange look! :)  My fav junk food was gummie worms; on a more
constructive plane, one of my favs were the gummies that Hi-C and
another company made that had real fruit juice in them, fortified with
vitamin C.  These were awesome (except once in the hot summer, when my
ziploc full of them transformed in to one, large gummie blob, stuck to
the ziploc!)
