Sugar Fix!!!

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite candy?

Now we have drifted into dangerous territory here, because I do enjoy me some junk food. Or pogie bait, as we called it in the service. πŸ˜„

My favorite candy is usually “Yes”, but for the sake of this post, I will narrow it down to two, and one honorable mention.

I tend to flip between Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and M&Ms.

Peanut Butter Cups: In my opinion, the regular ones are chintzy these days. Gotta have the Big Cup, the eggs, pumpkins or trees. At least there’s some peanut butter in them! The regular ones have barely anything in them anymore.

M&M’s: I lean toward Peanut, but what I really like to do is get a bag of those, a bag of Plain, and mix them both together. Takes the deciding out of the equation that way. cut to the chase, you know?

Honorable mention: Coca-Cola. Some people call it liquid candy, so why not, eh? It is a vice, but for me, nothing washes candy or a slice of pizza down better. I know a lot of people would say beer with the pizza, but I can’t drink beer when I eat. Never could. My gut just plain don’t like it. More power to those that it doesn’t bother.

Thankfully, this prompt doesn’t ask about doughnuts, cakes or ice cream. That’s a whole other tale. πŸ˜„

    1. Ah, sorry to hear, That really sucks. I hope it it’s fairly easily controlled for you. It was one of the things that led to my wife’s demise. It’s definitely no joke.

      2. Perhaps I will. The specter of this treatise has haunted me, haunted, I say, for many a moon. Aye, the sleepless nights I have endured searching the depths of my very soul for the words to properly pay tribute to the humble doughnut.

        What ya think? Too much?

      6. Nay, young lass. There is nothing left to say for now. Your petulance is duly noted.
        While I am dining on gourmet doughnuts at Bukhara, you can wait in line at Super Donuts for your pedestrian doughnut that was NOT made by an artisanal chef with love and passion.
        Perhaps then you will remember when the time you laughed at the crazy man with a doughnut manifesto.

  5. Ah yes, I love Reese’s! However, I prefer the white chocolate ones 🫒
    β€œLuckily” it is very difficult to find them here where I live, or else I’d be buying them every day.
    When I visited Canada, I was really fond of the β€œoh Henry” bars. I assume it is also available in the US?

    1. The white chocolate ones aren’t too bad either.

      I don’t think they sell the O Henry bars here anymore, no. I can’t recall seeing one in ages.

  6. M&Ms are delicious. Peanut butter cups were my absolute favorite for years. But I ate so much peanut butter, I became allergic to it as an adult. Thanks for the fun post!

    1. Really? That downright sucks. Do you have to watch out for all peanut based stuff now?

      Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! 😊

      1. Really. Caveat emptor: it can happen to anyone. Too much of a good thing and all that. I do watch out for peanut based stuff. I will eat stuff that’s made in the same factory as peanuts, but I don’t want to tempt to fate by just on eating peanuts. But I do miss Reese’s peanut butter cups SO MUCH. do you know what the thing is? The smell of peanut butter is disgusting after you haven’t eaten it. Lol

      2. Some time away from it turned you off to the scent, eh?
        I don’t go as batshit crazy with junkfood as I say I do really.
        At the old job, they swore that was all I ate, but it wasn’t really. Towards the end, yes, but I was a basket case by then, so…🀣

      3. Junk food becomes comfort food. Facts. So that’s understandable. 😊
        Yes, it does smell horrendous after not smelling it or eating it for a while. It’s like when you go off of sugar or salt and then you try to eat it again and it’s just too much.

    I’m a Reese’s boy. Growing up I loved Butterfinger and have recently rediscovered my love for it. When I quit drinking, I compensated by decimating midwestern candy stocks but I’ve settled down in recent years.
