Candy Makes You Dandy


I don't think I've written about this before, but I am, at least for the past few months, a candyholic. I don't know when it started and I think it started with Gobstoppers, but whatever, what I'm saying is I eat a ton of candy. I eat so much candy that this year when I was asking my friends what to bring to their Christmas party they were like "Dude, of course you're bringing the candy!" So I did. I spent like $30 on Starbursts, Chocolate Riesen, Gobstoppers and I forget what else. Everybody ate it and everybody had a good time.


Lately, it's been Skittles original, and usually, if I'm headed over to the basement I'll bring some candy along. Ryan, who once told me he didn't like candy, is usually the first to start asking for some. Gobstoppers are a favorite in the basement, although I haven't gotten those in a while. Now And Laters straight up suck though. Don't waste your money, they're not how you rememebr them. But the reason that I'm writing this is to talk about Jolly Ranchers Fruit Chews! They are soooo good. I'm eating them right now and they rock. It's all the flavor of a Jolly Rancher but in the form of something that's somewhere between a Tootsie Roll and a piece of gum. They're kind of like Airheads. These are probably the first thing I've ever liked from the Chew category. Skittles could be Chews but they're really just little candies. Damn, I guess now I should update my Myspace to reflect my new found love of the Chew. Skittles are just dope though, whichever category they're in. Now And Laters are Chews but as I mentioned Now And Laters suck now.

I can't wait to go to the basement tomorrow and be like "Dudes, check this, you thought you knew how Jolly Ranchers rolled?" Dudes'll be like "Yup." I'll be like check out these Chews, bros. Jolly Ranchers, which started as a small company in Golden, Colorado in 1949 and used to make ice cream and chocolate, hath changed the game.
