Candy everybody wants
I'm partial to hard candy...which isn't to say that I don't prefer chocolate or cookies, but when it comes to empty calories, I'm plenty happy with hard candy. Specifically, I'm very fond of Spree, and have been since junior high. My high-school friends will remember that I bought them in the cafeteria regularly, and I was very good at concealing them during Mr. McCabe's English class.
Spree have become much harder to get in recent years, and none of the local WaWas seemed to have them. They had the chewy variety sometimes, but who wants chewy hard candy? It defeats the purpose. Following the premise that you can get absolutely anything you want on the Internet, if you look hard enough, I found that Amazon sells them, and now, I have this:
Yes, I bought a case of Spree. A case that I'm evidently not allowed to open; I guess I'll just look at them. It's like the fulfillment of a childhood dream -- being able to buy as much candy as the stores have. My wife says I'm only allowed to buy one case per year, which is probably for the best.
