Gas station "goodies"

Okay, I have a question... I thought that as a "prerequisite" to creating, marketing, selling and succeeding in the snack-food business, a company had to actually be making a semi-delicious snack... so here is my question...what the fuck happened to those snacks at the gas station that promise you a mouthful of wonder and actually give you a mouth full of stale, sugared-shit?

I mean come on...it's happened to everyone: you've been driving for God-knows-how-long, your famished and you get the sense that your stomach is eating itself. Therefore, as any semi-intelligent human being would probably do, they decide to stop at the gas station for a "quick-fix."

Basically what happens from there is that you go in and grab the very first "goody" you see...(they are typically dispersed throughout the store)and since your so hungry at this point, you make yourself believe that eating your own flesh would taste savory, therefore it doesn't matter which snack you pick up, since they all promise to be amazing.

What happens next doesn't give anyone a happy ending. As you bite into this "snack-food" you quickly realize that no matter how hungry you are, it's not going to make this snack taste NEARLY as good as it made you believe on the package. So now, your driving again, desperately trying to swallow this mound of card-boarded shit and your kicking yourself for not buying a FUCKING DRINK!

So yeah, back to my question... HOW ARE THESE COMPANIES MAKING MONEY???? Someone's gotta be sleeping with someone because those snacks taste like ASS!
