If I were to compose a dissertation today (and I am considering it) it would be entitled “Chips in Crisis: The Cognitive Therapeutical Effect.”
This would be a study as to the subconscious desire to consume increasing amounts of potato chips while quarantined during the COVID-19 crisis. My home would serve as the test lab, and my family would serve as lab monkeys. I would volunteer to consume copious amounts of chips, while my son would be given only Oreos to compare the effects, and my wife would be given veggie straws as a placebo.
My keyboard became increasingly greasy while typing this.
