We discuss so much about relationships, with individuals, with career, with exercise regimens we promise to adhere to. But what about the most constant, consistent, and emotionally nurturing relationship of all? The one with snacks. Do you spend an excessive amount of time thinking about your next bite, stock your desk or car with emergency munchies, or feel heartbroken when your beloved treat is out of stock? Congratulations, there's a committed relationship with snacks waiting for you. These are the telltale signs:
1. You Freak Out When You're Out of Your Favorite Snack
True love is understanding that the last cookie in the jar is not just food, it's an emotional experience. Being out of your favorite Natible Mini Cookies is not just a hassle; it's a small tragedy. And yes, you have, on occasion, thought about ordering snacks at an unholy hour just to replenish.
2. You Have Standby Snacks for Your Snacks
A true snack enthusiast understands that a single pack never suffices. You keep a bag of Natible Puffs in your office drawer, a hidden stash of Chilla Mix in the kitchen, and an "emergency" pack of Millet Noodles in your vehicle. Because what if you are hungry? What if the apocalypse happens, and all you have left is regret?
3. You Get Excited About Trying New Snacks
Your excitement about new snack releases is comparable to that of a film premiere. When Natible releases a new flavor, you're at the front of the line. You check reviews, search for the best bargains, and even inform your friends about it like it's a newsflash. "Did you hear? Natible just introduced a new millet snack, life-changing!"
4. You Structure Your Day Around Snack Time
Morning chai with Natible Rusk, in-meeting mid-munching on Mini Cookies, late-night Noodles as bedtime snack, your life is all about snacks. You can predict when you'll feel hungry, and you have the ideal snack to grab for it.
5. Your Bag is Essentially a Mini Snack Bar
Keys? Check. Phone? Check. Wallet? Check. Three different varieties of Natible snacks? You bet. You're always ready for surprise hunger attacks, whether you're on the way to work, at work, or just plain bored and need a crunch.
6. You Have Mood Swings Depending on Snack Supply
Your disposition is entirely dependent on whether or not your go-to snacks are within arm's reach. If you do, all is right with the world. If you don't, everything is suddenly frustrating, and the world is a heartless place.
7. You Secretly Judge Other People's Snack Choices
You don't intend to be judgy, but if someone grabs for a boring, tasteless snack over your sweet Natible Puffs, you can't help but wonder if they're crazy. Are they okay? Do they have a clue what they're missing?
8. You Can Pair Snacks Like a Sommelier Pairs Wine
Chai and Rusk? Classic. Cookies with coffee? A must. Noodles with Netflix? The only way to watch a show. You’ve perfected the art of snack pairing, and no one does it better.
9. You’re Overprotective of Your Snacks
Nothing stings worse than pulling open your snack drawer to discover that someone (most likely a friend, sibling, or snoop co-worker) has finished the last bite. You've even resorted to marking your snack containers or stashing them in spots nobody will look (such as in a box of cereal).
10. You Have a Favorite Snack Spot
It's not about what you're eating; it's about the moment. You've got your snack area where you can really relish each mouthful, your couch, your workspace, possibly even a favored corner in the kitchen. Snacks are sweeter when devoured in your comfort zone.
11. You've Had Late-Night Conversations About Snacks
At some point, you and your other snack-addled friends have had deep, profound discussions about questions such as, "If you could only eat one snack for the rest of your life, what would it be?" Or, "Is there a proper way to eat a cookie?" You don't take these discussions lightly.
12. You've Had Dreams About Snacks
Yes, it has occurred. You've fantasized about a universe where snacks are endless, where Natible Puffs never disappear, and where late-night cravings are always fulfilled.
13. You Always Have Room for 'Just One More'
You're full from supper, but when someone gives you a Natible Mini Cookie, you have room for it. Because snacks don't count, right?
14. You Feel Personally Victimized When a Snack is Discontinued
There is nothing worse than discovering your beloved snack food has disappeared. You move through the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining (perhaps they'll reinstate it?), depression, and then eventual reluctant acceptance.
15. Your Dream Date? A Picnic with Snacks
Forget fine dining, your concept of a ideal date is where you and your beau munch along on Natible snacks under the stars. When they bring in your favorite munchie, that's essentially proposing marriage.
If you identified with more than five of these, congratulations, you're in a committed, long-term relationship with snacks. And trust us, it's the most rewarding relationship you'll ever have. So go for it, treat yourself to a little more bite. Your snacks love you as much as you love them!
