a thousand words

saltwater taffy is i guess made from salt water and a whole bunch of sugar, spun or woven or beaten into a substance they sell down by the boardwalk. this is love, saltwater taffy. pretty much everybody has had some. somebody offers it on a day when you have nothing to do and most likely you’ll take it and put it in your mouth. it unites us, saltwater taffy, but whose favourite is it? who likes it best? just about nobody. so why do we eat it?
