Top 3 reasons why everyone should listen to Songza

(Specifically, the "Your Own 80's Training Montage" station on Songza.)

  2. When you sit down to eat that spectacular meal, Axel F will then come on, and your entire family will spontaneously start eating like robots.
  3. You will be able to face any challenge in life, overcome any obstacle, and triumph over adversity, when this song comes on. (Especially if Billy Zabka and his band of karate bullies are chasing you, and you're dressed as a shower for Halloween.)

I guessed peanut butter. DH guessed caramel.

Answer: cookie dough - undoubtedly from when I was feverishly licking the beater before any children could come up and ask to do the same.

Which ultimately made me think to myself:
