      That would have been a cool experiment with my Wondergirl, though.

I don't know if the taster was a professional but they used food like Kraft Mac & Cheese and MacDonalds but did a gorgeous haute cuisine presentation of it with tiny portions and fancypants garnishes. It worked -- you taste what you think you're tasting. Your brain is awesome.

                    But that's a bore, not a foody. They aren't identical. Several of my hockey friends are foodies (it's an Ivy hazard) but they don't inflict their discussions of the finer comparisons of legumes on me. But they could go at it for hours and enjoy it. The world needs more pleasure; I'm all for it (as long as I don''t have to be there.)

                    As people who spend all day on a college hockey message board, we should talk.

                      Nobody made more or better jokes about it than she.

                      The dissertation was not "on" Twinkies mouthfeel, by the way. It was on how the body sends texture and consistency signals to the brain. And then she got a job in how to monetize it.

                        Costco is selling Twinkies and Cupcakes in a single package/box. 20 of each all for $6.99. Close to a best seller.

                          That should be by prescription only.

                          Honestly I could eat Hostess Cupcakes until I pop. There's no off swtich for that. Take Twinkies as the counter-example: the first Twinkie is heaven, the second is a chore, the third is inedible. But the 19th Hostess Cupcake is as delicious as the first. And don't get me started on their Fruit Pies.

They, the physicists, and the pure math people were truly impressive; everybody else in the Eng school seemed to be a glorified plumber.

                                Chemists. The engineers are the ones who made it profitable. But then again, we wouldn’t have penicillin without a chemical engineer scaling it up. So let’s call it a wash.
