Sweet Tooth ......

Artist:
Following the spate of random thoughts running round here on MOG I thought I would offer this as a tidbit into the life of Chris Heilman aka I am.
I like candy. Mostly fruit and sour if I can get it. Spree is a perennial fave but I got to say Jolly Ranchers Wild Strawberry is something I will never get tired of. Seriously, they disappear when I'm around. Sweet Tarts firgetaboutit. Nerds, I eat em up.
How about you? What's your sugar fix?
Dig the sound whilst you contemplate.
Layo and Bushwacka! up front and MC Chris to follow.

Licorice! Lots and lots of Licorice! Not red though. Whoever invented red licorice must have been stoned at the time. Black licorice washed down with Pepsi (NOT Coke) is the bestest.
And Kit Kat bars. Not the wimpy old ones with the "fingers of chocolate," but the chunky ones. Not only do they taste better, but they go down in a satisfying lump, especially the end pieces that are covered in chocolate on three sides.
Gotta go!!
dark chocolate and lots of it........oh yeah, and spree can pretty much get me in a candy rage as well
I love spicy cinnamon things like Hot Tamales. I also have a love affair with chocolate. I prefer that of the extremely dark variety, but give me a bag of milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and watch it vanish before your very eyes!
I'm half Icelandic so I can say for a fact that Icelanders really love their candy, and they make some strange but delicious treats that I've never seen anywhere else. Salted hard licorice, and ribbons of black licorice wrapped in chocolate are probably my favorites (I think you'd like Iceland, Cap'n).
Sweet post dude!
sweetarts? I can eat em 'till my mouth goes numb...love the ones that are a bit more chalky and dissolve a little quicker (picky, eh?)
the wife got me on Mentos (but not the fuity ones)
mounds or almond joy have been a fave since adolescent paper route days
Krackle, mmm
Raisinettes, too
I think I'll skip breakfast and head right to UDF...
There can only be one.
CHOCOLATE.
I've got a bag of sanded lemon drops and Atomic Fire Ball candies calling out to me right now. Chocolate tends to disappear around here pretty fast as well.
The darker the chocolate...the better. Same with beer...gimme a stout (or several) anyday.
And caramel....how can the mixture of melted butter and sugar be wrong? It can't.
But sometimes a girl just needs a peanut butter cup....go figure.
nothing beats chocolate (except choc. with peanut butter ;)) but swedish fish are a close second or third!
What a bunch of chocolate freaks.
Here's is a side note that I think I had mentioned before but will repeat myself in the interest of full disclosure.
When I was in 8th grade I went to the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, PA. I was there until 11th grade. This is no lie, there would be days in the summer where the very air you breathed had a discernible taste of chocolate because of the factory which was less than a mile away. It was wonderful and I wish I could go back to that time in my life. MMMMM chocolate ..... (drool)
Mmmmm, chocolate air. Delicious and fat-free. :)
I wonder if it still smells like maple syrup in Brooklyn?
Believe it or not, but there was a Hershey plant here in CA...Oakdale to be exact...I think it just shut down in 2008.
When we were kids we would tour that facility...and the free chocolate bar you would get at the end of the tour was sweeter then any bar you could buy in the store. I wonder why?
OH....FYI, The Jelly Belly factory is about an hour from here...and they give excellent tours too.
Mike & Ike's
More of an ice cream guy, meself. Probably comes from growing up in the shadow of the Penn State Creamery, which makes what is indisputably the world's greatest ice cream. (Ben and Jerry took its correspondence course, and Bill Clinton once kep a helicopter waiting during a campaign stop so he could grab a cone on his way out of town.)
On my fifth-grade field trip, we toured the Hershey factory, and the stink of chocolate was so intense it was a year or so before I could eat a Kiss again. (Chris, I'm sure you know about Wilbur Buds, too - they're alleged to be the candy that Hershey ripped off to make Kisses.) What I'm saying here is that some pleasures are better enjoyed from afar....
I am on board with the chocolate lovers, white chocolate being my favorite. I also love holiday candy, so currently I am munching on a big bag of conversation hearts. I like most every candy because, when it comes right down to it, I love sugar. I'm not big on sour stuff though and nothing with nuts.
On another note...my friend Wendy is married to a Penn guy...and his mom sends him Mallo Cups...
Those are pretty good too.
Oh, indeed, the Boyer's Mallo-cup. They also had something called a Smoothie - not the healthy snack you might expect, but essentially their peanut butter cup knockoff, but different, and arguably better....
I will consume several bags of gummie savers in a sitting. Its an awful sight.
Did you guys know I live in the same town that Just Born calls home. Peeps are an institution around here. I can't stand them though.
Greg did you ever have the Alex's Lemonade Stand Mike and Ike's? I can rip through boxes of them in a sitting as well. Like Galen says, it's not a pretty sight.
I worked at a candy store for all of 4 months (I couldn't stand it any longer and I quit voluntarily). They had almost every kind of candy you can imagine and they dipped loads of things in chocolate - including potato chips and bacon. The bacon freaked me out but I couldn't keep my paws off the chocolate dipped gummy bears... I am drooling just thinking about them
M-m-m-mentos. Sorry, I stutter. Seriously, my sweet tooth has long decayed. I'm into really good chocolate, ie. belgian/swiss otherwise I can't be bothered. As for ear candy, I'm all over the map...
Chocoholic here! Preferably dark, but any kind will do!
