Munch the sugar crunch

Muesli Munch: Fig and Pecan Cookie

My morning snack aboard the plane.

My philosophy is "Rather be full and happy, than hungry and cranky" which is the reason why I ate the snack even though I'm not hungry.

This philosophy is especially true when you're not sure when the next meal will be.

To sum up the snack's description, it is VERY sweet. Although it's "reduced fat", it is definitely not reduced sugar.

Diabetes-alert: Do eat this if you wish to die even earlier.

A 2 inch wide, ½ inch thick murder device. And silent too. Satisfaction guaranteed.

The description on the wrapping read "Crammed with figs and pecans and delicately flavored with orange oil."

Ok... very delicate indeed.

Didn't really notice any orangey aroma except for the sugary taste.

It had a nice texture though. Very muesli but I don't really appreciate muesli much since my last episode in Japan where I had to survive on this snack (food ration courtesy of my eldest sis) for nearly 2 weeks. Dreadful memory.

I gave up 2/3 of the way and jumped to the apple.

Again, VERY sweet and crunchy.

But I'll rather keep my digestive system fully functional during the trip, so I resolutely crunched on.

Probably will be on a sugar high after this... sigh...
