the ubiquity of twang
Oct. 9th, 2003 01:30 pmTwang. For those of you not residing in the great state of Texas, Twang is a specific brand of flavored salt, most frequently seen in little display boxes next to the gas station cash register. It's packaged in endearing two inch envelopes, like the moist towelettes you get at the crab shack, and comes in three flavors - Lime, Jalapeno, and (rarest of the rare) Pickle. Months and months ago, I had a desperate dorkily-LARP-ish need for Pickle Twang. Nowhere. Nada.
But now it's EVERYwhere. Three different locations, in quick succession. One guy offered me a special on the whole box - they had ordered Lime, but the supplier sent the wrong kind.
I feel stalked, but in the nicest of ways. Mmmm. Twang.
ETA: I'm demonstrating my faulty Twang knowledge, just to give you pretty pictures. I hope you're all happy. Twang REALLY comes in Lemon-Lime, Chili, and Pickle, and this, I believe, is where I first read about it online, and knew that I was not alone in my Twangish appreciation.
