The story · 1984

The story of Nacho Neutrons

The bag starred Professor Puffwell, a cheese puff in a lab coat and safety goggles whose orbit rings spun around his head. Every Neutron had three crunchy rings around a puffy center, and kids snapped off the rings one by one before eating the nucleus. Science teachers hated how often the bag got quoted on quizzes.

Fun fact

Finding a Neutron with four rings instead of three was considered a major scientific breakthrough at recess.
