When it comes to monsters there is only one one-eyed flying purple people eater, who we all totally love and adore despite his people eating tendencies.

However, what keeps fueling my need for puppy chow is all the new flavors of candy melts "aka chocolate wafers". It use to be they just came in colors but now they have flavors as well!
