Make that Cinnamon BEARS, but it did remind me of another favorite. A microbrew raspberry beer from Squatters. * * * \>^,^\< KITTEN Coarse and violent nudity. Occasional language. ---

rjk: Yep. Silver and gold wrappings. Those are the ones. As for the sesame things, I think I remember them as being called Sesame Snaps or Sesame Snacks (at least where I come from). And marshmallow bananas: classics. Diane: Your cinnamon bears, are they the gummy/chewy type? And micro-brewed raspberry beer… even though I hate the stuff (my apologies to Beeruser), the combination somewhat sounds appealing. As for Chewy Runts, I have no idea whatsoever. ---

As > for Chewy Runts, I have no idea whatsoever Definitely chewy, so chewy they stick in your teeth. Also extra hot. Mmmmmmm The raspberry beer is GOOOOOOOOOOOOO-OOD! It is a light beer with just a tiny bit of raspberry flavor - not too much - just mostly a nice aftertaste. Perfect for backyard BBQs, ice cold with salad and steak. ## The Chewy Runts are the Chewy version of Willy-Wonka’s Runts. Fruit flavored candy shaped like . . . . well. . . fruit and really good. Strawberry is the best. \>^,^\< KITTEN Coarse and violent nudity. Occasional language. ---

Godiva makes an awesome chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream. It’s kinda pricey, but worth it. ---

Shirley: Lindt dark chocolate and Cadbury’s (the epitome of sweet - notice I didn’t say _sweets_) in the same list: how could you?? Although, you did redeem yourself somewhat by including Gummies on your list 😃 Drain: Godiva, kind of pricey? I’m positively shocked! Probably doesn’t taste half bad, though 🙂 ---

A chili dog, onion rings and a Frosted Orange from the Varsity (for the unwashed, it’s the worlds biggest drive in, located in Atlanta, GA, right beside Ga. Tech. [www.thevarsity.com](http://www.thevarsity.com) ). Hot glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts. My grandmother’s biscuits and home made jelly. Peanut butter pie. * * * The overwhelming majority of people have more than the average (mean) number of legs. – E.
