Writing Prompts: Snack Food

There are two ways you can use this writing prompt. One, actually do some writing, and two, head straight for the fridge and procrastinate.  Your choice.

Fiction: your character has a sudden need for a snack. Take this as far as it will go. If in nature, small rodents are acceptable. If in the city, larger rodents may be more commonly available. Or choose your own snack.

Nonfiction: If looking for a topic, find a snack food in the supermarket, and research its history. If possible, connect this snack food to your own life. Then eat several portions of the snack food and see if anything comes to you. If nothing does, go to the gym and work out until the snack food is no longer attached to your hips.

Below: giraffe snacking at the Minnesota Zoo in 2009. Giraffe in question was brought here via specialized Giraffe Truck, which apparently is an actual thing. Giraffe enjoys eating giraffe biscuits fed to him by tourists for $2.50 each. Giraffe goes back to warmer climes during the winter due to Minnesota’s general incompatibility with Giraffes.
