I have a serious addiction

I'm getting sick from Halloween Candy. I've had enough for awhile. My stomach will thank me.

Love the pb cups too but now I have a bag of Brach's candy corn. I allow myself one bag a year and that is now. Has to be Brachs. The Walmart brand is awful!!

Today, candy corn comes in white, yellow and orange. But when I was a kid, there was a 4th color- brown, and were they ever good! Nobody seems to make those 4 color ones anymore. I know I've searched.
 
My trouble is with boxes of *good* chocolate (Godiva, Ghirardelli). Someone always sends one every Christmas and it's like a cocaine buffet to an addict.

OK, I'm going to have just one each day. BUT, two isn't really worse than one, is it? Well, if I'm going to eat two, I might as well eat three and get it over with....right?

Next thing you know, I'm sitting in a dark kitchen, surrounded by little paper candy cups, with chocolate on my face.

I've told everyone this year that if anyone sends me a box of chocolates, they're going to get it stuffed up their..... I haven't worked this hard to lose 50 pounds and have it undone by a pretty box with a nice bow on it.

Yes, I'm a chocolate addict and I'll admit it.
 
I had a bag of Reese's shaped like bats for Halloween. Almost as good and much cheaper is a box of 18 Great Value chocolate with peanut butter in the cookie isle at Walmart.

They gotta be fresh, though. Nothing more disgusting than buying a Reese's in a convenience store and have the peanut butter in the cup be as dry as the Saharan sand.

They're so loved, I'm lucky when my convenience store doesn't have an empty box on the shelf. (and it's not just me...I don't think)

Great Value sometimes gets it right. Often, actually. I bet they buy surplus or whatever from original producers.

I've compared Walmart's Equate OTC meds to name brands and there's no difference whatsoever. Same with most Dollar Tree OTC meds, though, and they're even cheaper.
 
OK, I am drooling and seriously inspecting an individually wrapped piece of peppermint bark. Is there a flaw in the wrapper which could cause harm to men and mice and immediate consumption of it would leave a legacy and safe the world? Apparently not. Working on a new approach.

While me and my kids lived in Las Vegas, I worked at the Ethel M Chocolate Factory owned by Forest Mars. His mom or gramma created the Mars bar. Pretty sure it was his mom because he was like 100yrs-old. The factory made gift box candies, all chocolate-covered. Some were liquor-filled and they used very fine liquors. yummmm!

Forest was a bent up, crusty old fart. He lived in a massive apartment above the factory and when we worked round the clock during Valentines Day and Mother's Day and other candy-loving holidays, he'd come into the factory and whack people with his cane and tell 'em they "ain't worth a buck-fifty an hour!"

He actually paid everyone well over min wage and had our lunches catered every day.

All you gotta do is announce it on Tik-Tok and you will be believed.

Yes, they are good. Hey..I know someone who smokes those Seneca cigarettes too

The owner of the smoke shop where I get them gives me an excellent deal when I buy a month's supply. I'm pretty sure I'm paying only a few bucks more per carton than him.

I used to smoke American Spirit cigs. They were more expensive than others, but they advertise Absolutely No Additives, and I believe the chemicals in cigs cause damage on top of the damage tars cause. But Spirits are ridiculously expensive now.

I don't remember a 4th color. I wonder if that's an east coast-west coast thing.

For years, every Halloween I used to look for them. I've never been able to find the 4 color ones. My brother is ten years younger than me. I'd have to take him trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Not the most fun thing to do when your 17. He let me have the candy corn. Could be a Massachusetts thing?

Wonder if it's available from their website...if they have one.
 
I was hesitant to write about a recent addiction of mine bc it's so unserious, compared to most addictions...but then saw all the sugar or candy addictions and decided to post this. After many years of never eating red meat, about a month ago I had the strongest urge for a hamburger--so I bought organic meat, buns, potato chips, and pickles and had such an extraordinary dinner I decided to repeat it. I've been eating this meal once a week since, and all week it's what I think of night and day, so I'm starting to wonder: can red meat be an addiction?

My opinion; we get cravings for what our body is deficient of. For example, craving red meat could mean you're iron-deficient or your red blood cell count is a bit low....something along those lines.
