Actually thanks for sharing

We grew up very similarly, my mother, as bad a cook as she was, she really had some good ideas and she tried

We were each allowed one 2L of soda each 2 weeks (payday for Dad). Oh and one 200g thing of chips.

Eat it all in one sitting like my brother would do and then have a giant burp. Or meter them out for 2 weeks.

I thought it was good of her to let us have a little bit of crap, but also understand how to manage the crap intake.
