SALTY PHILOSOPHY
When you reach into a bag of Funyuns, you don’t do so with the expectation of answering all of life’s questions. And yet, when you look over that odd little ring, you start to wonder, is a Funyun a chip? As you stare at that ring, trying to uncover its secrets, you begin to spiral into a whirlpool of existential questions. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Where do we go when we die? Does anyone really understand what’s going on with Schrodinger’s cat? And when you finally think you’ve mastered all the questions of the universe, you reach back into that bright yellow bag and find it empty. It’s then that you realize you know nothing at all.
