Try to guess. I’ll give you a minute. Tick tock Tick tock Tick tock, No. She’s not going to South America. She has virtually no athletic ability. Surgery for a broken hip last year, gotten from dancing a minor step in a routine. Her passport is missing at the moment. But … She’s vacationing in the bathroom at the moment. Why? Are you asking why? She ate half a package of Andes mint candies. That’s about 12, I estimated. Yep. Andes revenge. I told her there’s a reason they only put one on a hotel room pillow. They don’t wanna bring you extra TP in the middle of the night. Poor girl. ---

My grandson can’t resist eating a whole bag of sugar-free butterscotch candies, even though he knows it will force him to the bathroom in the wee hours. ---

We think it’s the chocolate and mint together that irritated her tummy region. ---

She has heard all the candy that would’ve been worse. $100,000 dollar bar, 3 Musketeers, Baby Ruth(that was mine) The granddaughter said “Butterfinger” that got a huge laugh. ---

I thought this was going to be about a sugar-free version, like [the notorious Haribo gummy bears](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/01/whats-in-those-haribo-gummy-bears/283162/) that have generated [many a comic review](https://es.redskins.com/topic/376457-stop-what-youre-doing-and-read-the-review-of-hairbo-sugarless-gummy-bears-on-amazon/). ---

> [@needscoffee](#): > > Colors Added (Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 1 Lake) Don’t know about Lil’wrecker, but this would send me to the bathroom in a hurry. I don’t even eat one Andes mint anymore, because I don’t like the taste, but 12 of them? 😲 Soy Lecithin can also cause issues for some people with IBS. ---

She’s back to her _regular_ self today. She says she felt like she had a colon cleanse. She’s gonna tout her new method🤔. I replied “No, don’t”
