You know how every once in a while, out of nowhere, you’ll catch a strange scent in the air, or get a weird taste in your mouth, and it’s accompanied by an urgent, suddenly all-consuming thought like, “If I were to eat a spoonful of ranch dressing right now, it would give me super powers.” The only possible explanation for this is that’s it’s absolutely the truth. At that moment, while you believed it, ranch dressing would have given you the the superstrength and the ability to fly. And you blew it. Like usual.
