Ghetto Carrots

Vivid orange (hex #FF5F1F ) off brand cheese puffs, consisting of mostly air, approximately 1 - 2” in length and weighing about 0.5 - 1g per piece. They are sold primarily at discount grocery or dollar stores, in lower socioeconomic neighborhoods or artist communities, and only available in giant family sized share bags.

Josh and Hannah were struggling artists saving every penny to run away together. On Fridays, after hunting for bargains at the discount grocery store, they would settle around a canvas with some heavy bodied acrylic paint and a bag of ghetto carrots.
