Food Fantasies

So I'm sitting at home, right? Watching some TV, just chilling, right? And then...boom. A Taco Bell commercial comes on. They're talking about this somewhat new line of stuff--the 'Volcano Menu': "The new Volcano Taco, Volcano Burrito, and Volcano Nachos from Taco Bell. Think outside the bun.™" (I hope I don't get into trouble for writing that.) As always, voiceovers are by some low-voiced dude who sounds like he's got something stuck in his throat. I'm a relatively young guy, and I enjoy food, so I'm thinking about what those Volcano things are gonna taste like. Then I thought, "Hmmm...'Volcano' stuff, huh? With lava sauce, huh? Sounds delicious. Sounds like it would go great with Baja Blast Mountain Dew." (That's what the advertising company hopes you'll think.) Sometimes, when I'm bored and maybe hungry, I fantasize about food: what it tastes like, what it looks like, what it would go good with...I should be a chef.
