the lemon treat paradox

I'm sitting here at work taking my first bite of my third 'Lemon Treat' of the day, sipping a big mug of tea, and writing a post for my blog. Productivity is my middle name.

Why are Griffin’s Lemon Treats so delicious? The ingredients are all wrong, and yet somehow, they add up to a gloriously enjoyable eating experience. Maybe the wrongness is part of the attraction.
Take two salty, flaky pastry-type crackers (the type you would normally eat with cheese or paté), add a sweet cream filling, but not any old cream filling, oh no, a lemon cream filling, and there you have it. Salty, sweet, creamy, and acidic/citrus all at the same time. Weird; and yummy.
