Cheezits seem to be the snack food of choice lately, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all eating out of this one box from our nifty food cupboard.  However, I know I am the last one to have any, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m thinking to myself as I bite down, <i> darn these things are soggy<\/i>, which makes no sense given how quickly they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re consumed.  <\/p>\n<p>Two days after my last Cheezit, Diane pulls the box out of the cupboard, and then the  wax paper-like bag out of the box, and plops it on the counter.
