To Fourth Meal
Dear Fourth Meal,
I first learned about you from a recent Taco Bell commercial I saw while watching my favorite reality show, “Engaged and Under Age” on MTV. You instantly caught my attention. I realized that there was a real term for the drunken meal I usually ate around 2:30am on Friday and Saturday nights.
Bars near me usually close around 2:00am, so by the time we come out of the bar and are hit with a rush of cold air, my friends and I sober up just enough to realize that we are ravenous. At that hour, we don’t discriminate. In the past three months I think we have eaten at just about every local fast food joint and 24 hour coffee shop around.
I have to confess, that I love Taco Bell the most. I just can’t seem to fall asleep without a nice bean and cheese burrito. Sometimes, if I’ve had a particularly rough night, I’ll indulge in a RCB (rice, cheese, beans) burrito. My close friend prefers to go to the local 7-11 and get their nachos with jalapeƱos. I think this is disgusting. She insists on eating them in my car so that the next morning the interior of my car smells like vomit. Taco Bell fourth meal never does that.
So, fourth meal, I encourage you to gain more popularity. Even for those who go to bed early. They should set their alarms and get up just to eat you and then go back to bed. I also would not be opposed to a fifth meal, if given the opportunity.
