too close…
the scent cloyingly sweet 'pon the air, God, how I want… :rolleyes:
Dare I?
Nononononononono… I can’t !
Someone come and remove it, I… can’t move. I can’t get closer to
the evil that is…
CANDY CORN! :eek:
OK, I bought a bag. There is was, down along the Halloween decorations and festive holiday yummies. I saw it…
and it saw me.
Now, normally my sweet tooth isn’t such a nuisance and it keeps pretty quiet during most candy-driven holidays. Most. I went into a Party City superstore for all your party needs to get my daughter’s medieval costume (we LOVE Halloween in my family, just adore it) and some various shiny stickers for her sticker book(she’s autistic and LOVES them) when I happened upon the bag…
I bought the damn thing! I was weak, I was oh… so… weak!Forgive me, please.
After a few of these lil’ bastards, I get to feeling ill. It’s that damn sickening sweetness but I can’t ever stop with just a few. I think (and you, the reader, may agree) that they have an addictive chemical within their lil’ candy corn shapes. I try to stop, I really do, and I just keep popping them into my mouth. Evil incarnate… I swear.
EVIL!
Milk is the only thing that can clear my palate after eating these monsters. :rolleyes:
This is truly bizarre, because I LOVE LOVE LOVE all things sugary … except candy corn*. I will actually walk right past a bowl of it and not take any, which is a very unusual dynamic for me and candy.
But don’t feel bad. I know more than a few people who cannot resist the stuff.
*And circus peanuts. Those are just gross, IIRC from my childhood.
I have the same problem! I don’t even LIKE them! But I have to eat them. I eat them color by color…Its terrible. I also have the same problem with gummi bears…They make me sick but…! I just can’t stop.
I’m here for you! We should start a support group.
I l-o-v-e candy corn. If there are nine bags in the room, I will eat nine bags.
I feel the same way about Smarties. One year I bought a five pound bag of them (along with numerous other treats) to place in trick or treat bags I was preparing for the neighborhood kids. I never put any smarties in any of the bags and ate the entire five pounds within a week.
SMARTASS! Thanks a lot! Smarties also contain an addictive ingredient within those oh, so wonderful rolls of pure evil!
I walk into a drug/grocery/convenience store and I start to hear the whispers. The evil is speaking to me, calling me forth down the aisle of sin. My body is not my own at this point and I walk step by guided step toward the roots of all wickedness (candy corn AND smarties).
They wait and they know when I am close…
Evil, thy name be smarties and candy corn. Get thee behind me, sugar spun yummies!
I’m in the same boat. The store is 4 blocks from here and I can hear the Little Evile Ones [sup]TM[/sup] calling my name from across the pond… must…close…windows…
Wha…? Wait a minute! They come in colours!!!??? Since when? Candy corn only comes in orange and white stripes up here. At least I’ve never seen them come in any other colour!
I used to really like them but I’ve noticed my sweet tooth has changed and find I don’t like them as much. Oh a few here and there are okay but I had a plastic bucket of them that lasted forever a couple of years ago. I think I ended up throwing out the last handful because they had gone so stale.
Here you can get them in orange, white and yellow or brown, orange and white (I think.)
True evil comes in the for of sugary-glittery forms of bunnies, chickies, Jack-o’-lanterns and snowmen. Yes, I’m talking about marshmallow Peeps. They lure you into eating their hypersugary goodness, only to disappoint you with a tummyache before your can finish the third one. That’s only half a box! A full box should be the minimum to get a tummy ache (and maybe a quick visit to the porcelain god.) Yet the Peeps call you and call you…
Well, I figured that “eating them in colors” meant nibbling each individual stripe off. When I break down and have candy corn (oh, and it’s so good and so terrible all at once. A vicious addiction fed only in the autumn), I must eat the white tip first, then the next color, then the next. Around here it has white, orange and yellow stripes.
I haven’t bought any yet this year, and hadn’t really thought about it. I’m hoping to stay away from the candy corn in 2003.
Candy corn is wonderful, of course, but the TRUE EVIL are those little pumpkins. They used to come in bags that were mixed with other things like candy leaves and such, but now there are entire BAGS just full of those wonderful pumpkins…and they don’t taste much different than the candy corn, but I would turn aside free candy corn to indulge myself naseous on candy pumpkins!
I can’t believe this stuff is out so early. Why are they feeding my addiction???
