I don’t know what it is that you coat your Sesame Snack Sticks with, but do you sell it by the bottle? In prescription form? Perhaps even a patch for my shoulder? I’m not sure how much longer I can go on eating an entire 7 oz box of these things before it truly becomes an unhealthy, but oh so obscenely tasty addiction. HELP ME BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
