Have you ever wondered how “they” determine the serving size numbers hidden on the back of your favorite snacks?

“They” are the government, and “they” have a deeply hidden, extremely remote government facility which serves and unites this supreme, ultimate focus.

Within this facility, within this lab is a man who goes by the name of Jimmy Boden. Jimmy’s life is centered around his service, your service, a service to both our country and our stomach, our diet and our intake.

See, strapped down and shaved of all hair, Jimmy is wheeled day in and day out into a sterile testing room where he is brought snack after snack which you relentlessly enjoy. Jimmy eats his desired amount, a desired amount which by the grace of god, by the powers that be, by the ebbs and flows of our eternal earth, a desired amount which is the exact average which any human form should intake. This intake is recorded by scientists and carried through the great conveyor belt of consumerism to your door, to your home, to your belly and bottom. Thus, Jimmy is, by all accounts, the origin of the serving size.

Yet, the days are long and the nights are cold for Jimmy. He lacks stimulation. He lacks independence. He lacks company. Though he may serve the size of every human snack across the open plains, high mountains, and blue oceans of this country, his human needs are never satisfied. Snacks are not enough. Jimmy has decided to serve himself for once. He has decided that he wants out.
