ITT: Foods no one actually eats.

I have never, ever seen anyone buy or eat Bugles. They are just relegated to the bottom shelf of the snack aisle on Walmart, next to those weird chips made out of popped corn.

When I was a little kid, I used to put the bugles on my finger tips and pretend I was a witch.

Bugles are good with salsa, or queso. They're perfect scoops.

They could only fit on your fingers when you were a kid and that was what made them the shit.

Yeah, it's coconut oil. I've never seen any other snacks that use coconut oil, which is probably why they seem weird.

Truth be told anon, I am actually bi and I'm really scared about revealing myself to my parents. I'm waiting to finish college before telling them so they can't freak out and remove my future from me.
