What's your desert island food?

"Cereal and milk. It's been my comfort food since childhood—and today it remains my daily breakfast, an occasional dinner, and my go-to midnight snack. The exact kind I eat changes over time, but a desert island fantasy deserves an endless supply of sugary options like Smacks, Pops, Cocoa Krispies, Honeycomb, and Golden Grahams."

What's your favorite condiment?

"Sir Kensington Chipotle Mayo. Creamy, spicy, and perfect with just about anything."
