I’m talking about Good Old Raisins & Peanuts
I want to hear your fondest memory of cramming a handful of this in your face

it was my second year treeplanting. the friends who'd invited me along the first time had bailed, feeling that the payday (up to .14 cents a tree!) didn't justify the pain. i loved living in the forest and singing aloud my love of the woods, so i conned another friend into coming with me.
the days blended into one another as i threw myself into labour, and one shining day our cooks assembled gorp. we went for breakfast and discovered a huge bin of it, pre mixed. i filled a bag and went on my way.
it was cold in the mornings, so you'd work hard to get warm, and i didn't break till lunch. i'd only had a piece of toast and tea for breakfast, as my stomach is perpetually unwell.
the sun was high in the sky as i sat down at the cache, a few crewmates and friends breaking at the same time.
i reached into the bag i'd half forgotten, and took a handful of gorp and incorporated it into myself. instantly my body responded - i was hungry, my body ached for nutrients, and this handful of nuts, seeds, granola, raisins and other dried fruit was in that moment, utterly perfect. i felt tears fall down my face, an uncontrollable torrent of joy at being alive, at feeling the sun on my skin and a mixture of sustenance pour down my throat.
the wind was gentle and i wiped the tears away before i had to explain them, despite feeling that if asked, i could just say "gorp" and all would understand.
beautiful. needs to be a digital loom tapestry given to youngsters with their first gallon ziplock bag of gorp.
when you turn a person upside down after they’ve eaten gorp, it sounds like a rainstick.
