Hi, I just started reading Zoey is Too Drunk for This Dystopia and so far I'm loving it, I just have to ask: At the very beginning, Zoey is eating Doritos from a heated bag. Is this based on real technology? How can I eat heated Doritos? If I put Doritos in the oven would they "taste like they'd been pulled fresh from a deep fryer"?
Jason Pargin
I'm not aware of such a technology, though usually when I say that it turns out it's something they actually have in Japan. It just feels like the next frontier in junk food is controlling the temperature, chocolate chip cookies that can warm themselves right before eating...

Where you "the funny kid" back in school? I feel like your personality I see expressed in your writer would say "YES!" but maybe its all just learned humor or trauma, and what was your favorite style of writing growing up? I feel like the bridge of horror - comedy is so contrasting yet SO ingenious when placed together
