So I got some down time between deliveries. Sunoco right across the street, and don't ya know I got a belly hangin hollow making funny noises.

Cheap pre-made, pre-wrapped deli sandwich... you know, the kind made as a food source for armaggedon survivors soon after civilization collapses - rubbery spiced ham, dark orange american cheese where the edges can cut your finger if you're not careful, see-through lettus, and something red and seedy... kind of like a tomato. Bag of Lays potato chips and a cherry Pepsi and now I'm set, if for nothing else, to at least survive another day.

So I'm sittin there eating and reading ECF on my iPhone until it strikes me like a ton of bricks - THIS SANDWICH TASTES AWESOME! I realized I was taking gargantuan bites out of that thing as if I couldn't get enough, and stuffing what has to be the most perfectly made batch of potato chips Lays has ever created, fast into my mouth. I was eating with - what my old man liked to call - 'Gusto'.

Who knew, as a smoker, just how good a cheap, on-the-go kind of lunch can actually be.

I remember the number of times I've read on ECF how cigs ruin your taste buds and that with vaping, they'll eventually come back around to their former days of glory. Well, I always thought that was a bunch of BS...

...until today. I'm a believer!

Woooot!!! Another win for vaping.

Not sure how long you've been off 'bakky', but I now can hardly stomach processed foods. And to think, I used to add salt to day-um near everything.

Been off the bakky only a little over a month. I don't know, I've been bummed for about the last 5 years or so because I was sensing alot of chemical undertones in the flavor of the foods I was eating. Before reading here on ECF, I never equated it might have something to do with smoking screwing up my buds.

Last week was the first time I noticed something different; as I haven't enjoyed a simple hamburger and fries like that in a long time. It was just so good. I even actually offered compliments to the manager as I was leaving... if you can believe that. After today's lunch, it's what makes me believe it's from quiting cigs.
