Clean-up on Aisle Five

Barnes writes about dreams and processed foods, and I am here for it. Barnes intertwines reviews of junk food and storytelling to create something unique: a journey through corn syrup and memory, through the self and snacks. Barnes isn't eating simply because she's hungry. She wants to know more. These essays are aware that we're constantly in conversation with advertising, desire, and our past. After you read this collection, you're going to feel inspired to try that new weird potato chip flavor and listen to the stories it tells you.
