Because They're So Delicious

"Rrragh! Mmnomnomnom." Jackie popped the little yellow cracker into his mouth and crunched happily.

"I don't get why they have little eyes and mouths now," said Beverly. "It's weird."

"It's the snack that smiles back!" said Dom. "Every two-year-old loves them."

"Everything has a face on it these days. The mascots are just the food with googly eyes drawn on."

Dom ate a cracker reflectively. "Everyone needs to eat someone sometimes, I guess."

Jackie snatched up another goldfish, bouncing excitedly in his high chair. The trembling of the crackers that remained could just have been aftereffects of those vibrations.

"Grar!" said Jackie.
