Obviously some people do because they seem to be popular. I dont' care for
them much myself. What I found odd today was buying Gold Medal Flour which I
don't usually have on hand but will need for holiday baking, when I opened
it to transfer to a container, it said on the top of the bag to resist
eating it until it's cooked, duh, does anyone really need that instruction?
Is anyone hitting a bag of flour with a big spoon to eat mouthfuls of it?
