Gingersnaps
You’re in some scene − under an awning outside a café for a friend while it’s raining, say; or perhaps you’re sitting at the kitchen table after dinner, reading on your laptop; then again, maybe you’re standing at the train station one evening, awaiting the arrival of the 8:07 − and it’s a fair situation, comfortable enough, nothing special. Then imagine the same scene, except someone gave you a gingersnap. Boom − everything is better, everything is sharper and more poignant. That’s what gingersnaps add. We recommend them. McSweeney’s
