Drifted across my mind.

...This completely fictional quote, presented and concieved without context. I sort of hope I can slide this into the novel. (Work on that resumes shortly.)

"What are you eating?"
"It's called 'Don't Eat That!'. It panders to my urge to disobey."
"Uh. What's in it?"
"I don't know. All the ingredients are printed with the longest chemical names possible to make them sound scarier. Some are in German."

Hope you'll forgive the song lyrics. :)
