Comfort Food. [View all]

I don't know if you can call it comfort food because it's not something I generally reach for, but there are some days when I just feel physically sick and the strangest things snap me out of it. A coke and a candy bar, for instance. Maybe once every two months when it feels like I'm going to lose another productive day, the coke and candy bar fix helps to get my thoughts together. I've had the same luck with a root beer.

However, these fixes turn to poison if I do it two days in a row.

Anybody have the same experiences with vice foods or comfort foods?
