As a kid, my brother and I loved cookies. We’d head over to dad’s for the weekend, and down a bunch of Chips Ahoy with a big glass of milk. Not healthy, but delicious. After a few years, we started to notice that the cookies themselves were shrinking. The package would say “More chips!” but it [...] Packing means we have to go through everything we own.
