What was the weirdest job and what did you learn from it?.

After I got my first car, the first thing I did—after buying a tank of gas—was buy a few packs of Nabs and a couple of water bottles to keep in my glove compartment to ensure I was equipped to stave off hunger during times of uncertainty.I offered passengers my tokens of goodwill, not unlike the beverage service offered on domestic flights from the airport..

If you aren't from the Tar Heel State you have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'll tell you what a Nab is and what it isn't..Moment Editorial / Getty Images.A Nab is a sandwich cracker that is packaged by a commercial company.

It's not a peanut butter cracker made at home, and I know some people call the cheese-filled ones "Nabs" in the same way they call every soft drink a "Coke," but not in my house.In 1924, Nabisco introduced a five-cent "peanut sandwich packet," called it a Nab (short for Nabisco) and updated the name to NAB in 1928.

What most people call Nabs today are often ToastChee, the signature offering of Charlotte-based Lance Inc. ToastChee made its debut in 1938 and as it caught on—especially with soldiers who trained at Camp Greene—Nabisco opened a bakery right there in Charlotte to meet the demand.

Since the two were so similar, fans just called them both Nabs.. Nabisco stopped selling these packets sometime in the late '70s or early '80s, and Lance became the dominant brand, but the name stuck around like peanut butter on your palate.Sadly, I must admit I like both.".

"Tastes like Combos!Blast from the past.".

"Very strong oregano flavor but better than standard Pizza Goldfish.They should call this flavor 'Oregano.'".
