Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders — or, as some prefer to call him, Bernie Sandwich — has earned himself a reputation for being rather shouty. See, ol' Bern is awfully passionate about issues like free college tuition, universal healthcare, and climate change, and sometimes that means he's got to yell about it.

What does Bernie eat to refuel after campaign rallies and debates?

This admittedly would be more entertaining than another Democratic debate:

Hold on, somebody check Bernie's voting records on this.

Existential thoughts on candy bars:

Greek yogurt is probably stressed due to the uneven wealth distribution in this country.

How many cups of coffee had fake Bernie consumed when he came up with this one?

Okay fake Bernie, time to step away from the keyboard.

Bernie on the culinary phenomenon that is broth:

A brief window into what the Bernman does in his spare time:

Now this is a government regulation we can get behind:

Maybe one of Bernie's acts as president can be to send Sun Chips into space to meet their maker.

Don't we all.

Under Sanders's regime, Bobby Flay will be forced to answer for his sins:

And condiment treachery will be a thing of the past:
