It is a sort of mildly post-apocalyptic future. (In that everyone is behaving post-apocalypticishly, but nobody is really dying or anything like that). It is sort of like Fahrenheit 451, except instead of memorizing a book, everyone is required to memorize a food item. So say one guy is "chocolate cupcake guy" and he has to wander the Earth remembering chocolate cupcakes, and talking about chocolate cupcakes. You also have to make a bunch of the thing that you are required to memorize and give it out to people. So when the woman who is memorizing tuna melt sandwiches is walking down the street, she has to have a big bag of tuna melts to hand out to anyone who wants them.
The food that I was required to memorize was "Cherry Cheese Pistachio Yogurt Drink."
I would wander the Earth having conversations that went like this:
Stranger: Hello there! I'm the one who has memorized Spanish Omelets. Would you like one?I also spent a lot of time vacuuming up sawdust.
Me: Why yes! That would be wonderful. Thank you.
Stranger: Here you go. And you are?
Me: I am "Cherry Cheese Pistachio Yogurt Drink!"
Stranger: Ah.
Me: Would you like one?
Stranger: I think I'll take a pass on that.
