Eating much candy

Mercury · 11-08-2009, 01:36 PM

It's now over a week since halloween and I have pretty much depleted all of the candy that I had left over. I was eating about 8-10 fun sized candy bars per day which to me is a sugar overload. I hardly ever buy candy at the store except for the occasional box of assorted chocolates. My thing, though, is that I'm kind of a tight wad and i see candy as a frivilous and ultimately unhealthy expense.

My grandpa is a straight up sugar addict. He nibbles on candy day in and day out and and it's that cheap dollar store candy too. I don't know how he doesn't get sick off it. then he chases it down with soda pop, ice cream and cookies. He has a true blue sweet tooth. And my little brother - to make him happy - I take him to the Candy Tyme store so he can pick out all that special sorts they have. He prefers the gummy bear type stuff, coated in sugar. Buy it by the pound, lol. Kids.

I know everybody eats it from time to time but to some people it's like crack.

what was the thought process behind the jelly beans? did you buy them preemptively, cause you knew you may want some but not sure when? or did you buy them spontaneously?

I was reading last night how around age 8 is when you are able to distiguish the difference between your thoughts and reality. I guess you're actually tripping on small amount of DMT in your brain under age 8. That's why I'm always just really smiley and happy with kids, I will say stupid shit and just smile and they think you're a clown.

No offense to GPops McMercury, but it's people like this that piss me off. If I eat a piece of candy a week, that's a lot for me(except for this time of year because it's fucking everywhere, but even then I don't eat much). I've never had a sweet tooth, even as a kid, and I gotta be fat and these people are 9 times out of 10, rocking the size 32 waist.

she is also positive that when she gets older, she will grow magic powers.

Condition her by making her watch heroes all the time...She will gain powers...

My gpops lost most of his teeth to the stuff, so he doesn't live without consequence. It amazes me that he doesn't ever not feel like eating candy. He has a very childish personlity too which is what intrigues me. Kids love candy and adults who love candy seem to be very childlike. It's cute in a way but also kind of gross.

BTW I am reminded of my childhood in the 90's. OMG the candy we ate in the 90's. My favorite were the ring pops. Like dimaond ring shaped suckers. But there were pop rocks and nerds and pixie sticks and things that made your tongue turn colors. I'm pretty sure half of that stuff has been outlawed.

All of that candy you mentioned is still on the market..

I know, those were just off the top. Ring pops though? I'd love to have a ring pop.

This guy has all the candy I meant to say. I actually remember most of this stuff and I'm sure a lot of it isn't made anymore.
