Hi. I'm Maddie Inglish, and I'm actually addicted to Goldfish crackers.

Fortunately, I'm fairly certain I'm not alone in this. Who doesn't love those salty, fish-shaped, cheese crackers? They're cheap. They taste delish. And I can count on more than one hand the number of times they've actually saved my life.

I am not exaggerating, people. Seriously. Think. Who was there for you the last time your stomach was growling and you checked in the pantry for a snack? I can pretty much guarantee you it wasn't that apple or the celery sticks that satisfied your hunger, but instead it was that box of Goldfish that totally came in clutch.

So, here's to you, Pepperidge Farms. Thank you for creating the most satisfying snack I could ever put in my mouth.

In honor of this totally golden snack, here is a list to remind you of the ways that Goldfish crackers have totally saved your life:

1. When you were stuck in the car with your family on a seven-hour road trip, the Goldfish in your cup holder kept you sane.
2. The time your stomach was growling in the middle of class.
3. Or the time when you were on the fifth floor of the library and you found an unopened bag in the bottom of your backpack.
4. Sometimes it’s the most nutritious food that you have in your pantry.
5. When the kids you're babysitting seriously won’t be quiet, give them Goldfish and their silence will practically be a gift from God.
6. On test day when you forgot to eat but you found a few leftover crumbs in a baggy in your backpack.
7. When you were binge watching "Grey’s Anatomy" and you realized you accidentally just ate the whole package but you didn't regret it one bit.
8. Or that time when your mom forced you to eat tomato soup but she let you have goldfish on the side. #worthit
9. When your roommates wouldn't let you have a real pet so you decided to stick some Goldfish crackers in a bowl and name them, in order to alleviate some of the pain.
10. That time you were stuck at your little brother’s high school graduation and you found some leftover fishies in your mom’s purse.
11. Or when you were at your own graduation and found some in your pocket...
12. When you realized Finn, Gilbert, Brooke and Xtreme are actually some of the best friends you could wish for.
13. When the team mom brings the 10-count snack-pack box for you and your teammates after a race. It's devoured in about .6 seconds.
14. Or when you’re actually starving and sheer desperation makes you bring the giant box of crackers with you on the AggieSpirit Bus to your meeting.
15. When someone asks you what your favorite snack is and you just roll your eyes back at them because they think there could actually be another “favorite snack.”
16. That time someone asked you if you had ever tried “The Whales.” Um, HELLO. Are you even human? Don’t shame the name of Goldfish with that petty generic brand.
17. You’ve tried literally every single flavor ever produced and you can't choose just one. But luckily they're cheap enough so you just buy them all.
18. When you wake up in the morning in a pile of crumbs and remember how eating Goldfish in bed the night before was a way better decision than going out.
19. The fact that you always have a snack to offer your friends that come over because the last time you went to Costco you bought Goldfish in bulk.
20. Even though people look at you like a child when you eat them, it's totally and completely worth the stares.

Nothing else in the world could possibly bring you as much joy as those delicious, little orange fish.
