10. Velveeta
Sam watched his brother watch a a bowl of processed food microwave at the gas station.
It was the usual fare. A bag of chips here, a pre-cooked sandwich there. Sometimes diner food was on level with the amenities of the local Marathon station.
The microwave DINGED! And Dean carefully removed the hot bowl of steaming chemically-treated cheese constitute and bleached macaroni.
"Really, Dean? Velveeta Shells and Cheese?"
Dean looked mock-hurt. "It's shells and cheese, Sam! The most comforting food there is known to mankind." He then began swirling the macaroni and cheese mixture in the little bowl and started eating. Sam continued to stare at him.
"What? Go grab your SoyJoy bar and Arizona Green Tea and leave me to my Velveeta heaven."
"Why, of all food, would you pick that to be your last dinner before we fight Lilith?"
Dean ate a mouthful of the gooey mess, then pulled the spoon from his mouth. "Because, it's a comfort food and if I have to fight a whore from Hell, I'm going to do it with Velveeta macaroni and cheese in my stomach."
Sam surmised that was Dean's "so there" comeback, and left it that. He had only so many days left with his brother anyway. No use in fighting the last few times they had together.
