    Me too. Quick story time. It was the day before COVID lockdown. My now wife and I had just moved in together the day before and were at IKEA buying furniture for our new apartment. Being at IKEA, knowing the new fridge and freezer at home were empty, and having poor impulse control, I threw three bags of frozen meetballs with sauce and fixings into the cart near checkout.

    The following day lockdown was announced with all restaurants to be closed, and stores to enforce limited occupancy with lines down the block waiting to get in. We feasted the first two weeks.

      It was all I could do not to buy a couple bags of the meatballs and gravy at the checkout. Something about the flavor, don’t know what it is but I was stuffed after 16 meatballs and STILL wanted to eat more.
