While getting gas this morning I was inspired to eat the very same breakfast that I commonly ate eleven years ago: 32 oz of Lemon Lime Gatorade and one Mars bar. (I was 20 and regularly woke up late to ride Metro. My stop let me off in front of the 45th Street Texaco Food Mart. Later on I wised up and walked to Marketime before work.)
So, I had to substitute the Mars bar with a Snickers. That's okay. But then it turned out that they didn't have any Lemon Lime Gatorade and I kinda think any other kind of Gatorade is sick-making, but I decided upon Fierce Grape (because of the word "fierce").
It was a satisfying meal, if only nostalgically. I feel pretty comfortable with it as my first meal of the day when I compare it to the Worst First Ever. I was not the consumer of the WFE: the consumer was a Metro rider at 7:43am; I was witness to the act. The meal? Dr. Pepper and Funyuns.
