    That ALT/77 one is pretty good. As a child of the 70s, it does seem to ring true. (All that woodgrain!)

    Also, on the dessert one: I always felt that there was something of a lie about the old Weight Watchers slogan about “Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.” (Actually, the other day, I figured it out: if you’re starving to death or are malnourished to the point your teeth are falling out, thin isn’t going to feel all that good)
