Question Is There a Word For It?
You know how it is...

You're eating a snack that's so good that you turn the bag up and let those tasty, little crumbs that are left in the corner tumble into your mouth.

So what's it called when the *snack dust* fills your nostrils and you almost asphyxiate - thereby taking all of the joy out of getting down to the very, last drop?

I believe it's called gluttony, but I could be wrong.

Two things bother me about this - first is that it would appear that you are unable to close your nostrils and second do you not have enough suction to, erm, well, suck it up?
