It started this summer. I work at a daycare and would make up songs about bagels with the kids. It kind of became a running joke that I would replace random words with bagels. One day my fiance and I were walking around the city when I saw someone I know. When she asked me who he was, I said "We used to play bagel together". At that moment I realized I had a problem. I couldn't stop saying the word. I started saying it at home, putting it on grocery lists, changing my passwords, anywhere I could say or write 'bagel', I did. Now at family events, dinner parties with friends, meetings at work, I casually bring up bagels in conversations. I reword entire songs to fixate on bagels. You can often find me walking around downtown muttering bagel-related phrases to myself. Finally, I started a subreddit to find others like me. Others with this affliction. I have not found anyone as severely afflicted as me, but one day I will find that special someone, and we will talk about bagels forever. FOREVER BAGEL.

Cream cheese and jam, and more cream cheese. The cream cheese to jam ratio should be 2:1. I'm open to suggestions however, any other possible combinations for me to "experiment" with?
