How to Eat Red Vines

1. Take very small bites.
2. Savor them until they dissolve halfway.
3. Be immediately transported back in time to your earliest, dream-like memories of being in a movie theatre. Things you didn't know you knew seem so familiar. Yoda might have only been a vague green blob, but his voice rings true, and his swamp with dangerous bogs is immensely loud and creepy. A tingle runs up your spine as the gate to Jabba's palace crashes shut. Before you were de-sensitized to violence, before you were de-sensitized to movies. Everything is so loud and overwhelming and genuine that an electric charge is in the air at every tense situation. You're not sure if you can watch when Luke faces the Rancor. The music isn't just there, it's an integral part of the experience, notes attached to every event. You can almost smell the smoke from the battle, but probably it's just imagination or maybe even somebody smoking in the theatre.

It works every time. Thanks, Red Vines.

Also, please, please stop calling them Twizzlers. Twizzlers are flavorless plastic, and hence, are not capable of storing memories.
