• Do You Extend Ex-Tendencies?

  By Miss Double Shot
  
  Ex-BF and I had it down to a science: at 6:50 p.m., I'd walk to his dorm with a can of Pringles. He'd let me in at 6:54 (always held the door open for me, good boy) and we'd run upstairs and sit on his futon, eating chips in a can and waiting for Jeopardy! to start. He was the designated scorekeeper, and after each episode, the winner was added to an even bigger scorecard. The loser bought more Pringles.
  
  Then we broke up.
  
  For weeks, I winced at Johnny Gilbert's "This...is.....Jeeeeeeeopaaaaaardyyy!" and couldn't look at a can of Pringles without feeling upset (and slightly richer - I lost about half the games we played and bought more chips than I'd care to admit).
  
  I can watch Jeopardy! and eat Pringles on a regular basis without a problem now, but for a while, I wondered if I'd ever look at Alex Trebek the same way again.
  
  Are there foods or TV shows that remind you of your ex?  How do you deal with them?
