Strange food

I made a now rare stop at Mechanicville Price Chopper. Saw a bag of CLEMENTE ORIGINAL SUGAR TARALLI. Never heard of it before but it seemed lowcal enough to keep my weight from burgeoning even further, so I bought it. My guess would be that it's compressed sawdust sprinkled with a little powdered sugar; taken with water, it kind of expands in your stomach and it evidently seeks to regain its former shape as a piece of lumber. I'm sure the feeling will pass.
