What. Is. It.

It's a snack, of course. The answer to all of life's questions, the key to happiness, the reason for our existence.

A delicate balance of flavors, a harmony of textures, a symphony of... wait, no, it's just a block of fried pork fat served on a bed of rice.

Some say it's the perfect snack for the modern age: it's portable, it's affordable, it's a gateway to a world of flavors and experiences.

Others claim it's a gateway to a world of regret, of stomachaches, of wondering why you just ate the whole thing in one sitting.

So, what is it, really?

It is just a snack.

It is a philosophical approach to life.

It is a sociological study of our snacking habits.
