> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ringo \* > **[Past choices in Texas](http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm).** Why on earth would someone choose DIET coke for their last meal?? I really don’t think I would be counting calories at a time like that!! Mine? 3 pounds of fried shrimp, the BIG ones. Ribs from [the original Dreamland](http://www.dreamlandbbq.com/tuscaloosa/) (Only side it comes with is white bread.) Lemon Icebox Pie with fresh blackberries on the side Hot Tea - Earl Grey and Dove chocolate to eat on the way to the needle, so I can die happy. 😉 ---
