Ah, the beginning of the affair. Orlando's a forward little chap, isn't he.

Oh, one comment - we do have M&M's here in the UK, chocolate and peanut, but not the other more interesting ones that I've heard exist in the States, like almond or peanut butter.

I've been using the blonde in the sweet factory joke on blonde friends for years, so Orli asking about the 'W's made me giggle.

Orlando knows what he wants. :) The question is just whether he'll get it.

D'oh! My sister was in England this past summer and was telling me that English Smarties were just like our M&Ms...which somehow led me to the conclusion that M&Ms were not common in England. Mea culpa. :) Personally, I like the crispy ones, or the mint ones they only put out around Christmas.

I had a math teacher put them out at a study session and tell us they were "sum" symbols. I *think* he was kidding. :)

Thanks for the comments!

Ooh, mint M&Ms - we don't get those. But yes, Smarties are pretty much the same as chocolate M&Ms, but come in tubes rather than bags and don't have any writing on them.

I demand the next bar story!

[k_leale]

LOL! Ok. :) Let me think of another crazy bar thing I can trick Orlando into doing....

[k_leale]

Thank you! I will friend you back. :)

Ooh, the prequel! :D

Loved it, as usual!

[k_leale]

Thanks!

Do you know how much I love your writing?! I love how you can write something so simple as a conversation on candy, and make it funny and sweet and interesing and just lovely. I love your description of Orlando's smile :o)

You make me want candy *l* M&Ms are nicer than Smarties by far. Elijah is right, Smarties are just compressed sugar. But they do have the whole range of the alphabet on them, which is nice because then you can spell out little messages ;o)

And, I forgot to tell you, but, inspired by your fic, I spent an afternoon recently trying to tie a cherry stem into a knot *l* It didn't happen. I've done it with snakes (you know, the candy that's like jelly-babies but in snake-shape), but cherry stems are too twiggy! Orlando must have one talented tongue!

[k_leale]

*blush* Thank you! Dialogue is my favorite part of writing and sometimes the best conversations are the ones that just aren't important.

Your smarties have the alphabet on them! I'm jealous. :) Ours don't--they come in little rolls and are smooth. My mom used to pack them in my dance bag for recitals.

LOL! You tried to knot a cherry stem! I'm so proud! I've seen people do it, but I just absolutely can't. I'm sure there's a trick to it, and it's probably in one of those "Worst Scenario" handbooks, but I have yet to figure out what it is.

Thanks!

*makes note to have a party, ASAP*

[trin_chardin]

Aw! Sweet! ...Pun very much intended. ~.^

*melts in a puddle*

[k_leale]

*grin* Thank you! I expected puns--it's just not a candy fic without them. :) Glad you liked it!
