If you've read this far, we like all of the M&M colors and prefer sparkling water over still. Light snacks are appreciated. Chips, salsa, and cheese are always welcome. We're not even remotely scared of hot food although we respect the ghost pepper and carolina reaper. They should be kept it their rightful place. Whoever invented bubble gum vodka should be fired from research and development, that is a truly horrific idea. And most important: Please ALWAYS leave the mayonnaise on the side; that stuff is gross.
