How big was the bag? Watching people eating addictive snacks slowly is like watching a monk meditate.
I remember seeing a tall and wide woman on the subway once. She was sitting on the 2 person seat and took all of it up. She was eating a long sandwich, and I watched her chewing it with her mouth open. She got crumbs all over her rumpled dress and she smacked her lips but oddly it didn’t make a sound. I was disgusted, so I did not look away. When she was finished she took out another sandwich of equal size. I didn’t stay to watch her finish, I had to get off at the next stop.
