But youd have a smile on your face! I like milk duds and the sour candy straws. Milk duds can last awhile. Whatever you do, do not bite, they will lock your jaw shut. Stay away from my storck reisen! Twix, milky ways, caramello, damn now I want candy

I'm terrible with names of foods, I can't remember what my wife makes.. I really enjoy simple no bake cookies though. I'll have to try some stuff this season. Those Lindor bonbon/truffle things Willie shows above are extremely good. I had a few at my Class reunion a couple of years back and they literally melt in your mouth.
I feel diabetic already, better go lift some weights and get my jog in before work!

That's silly, you can also drink 'too much water' and throw off your electrolytes and have much the same issues.
Gluttony has taken over, people need to settle down and eat within reason. I was downing 10+ cups of coffee by 2pm myself for quite a while, not good... we are creatures of addictions and habits I guess. RIP to that man, not a fun way to go.

Oh, now you've got me feeling guilty.... 
OK, if you're gonna do that "exercise thing" would you mind jogging an extra lap for two for me. I could use it. 
No weights though, not sure my back is up for that.

I long ago (even before moving out to a rural location) quit buying black licorice halloween candies to give out or even to eat myself.
Contains a substance that depletes magnesium from human and animals and low Mg can cause heart problems and death.

Black licorice is one of a few candies/snacks that I have never liked. There could be a truck load sitting in front of me and it would be safe.

Too Much Candy: Man Dies From Eating Bags of Black Licorice
| quote |
A Massachusetts construction worker’s love of black licorice wound up costing him his life. Eating a bag and a half every day for a few weeks threw his nutrients out of whack and caused the 54-year-old man’s heart to stop, doctors reported Wednesday.

Irish court rules Subway can't call its bread bread due to high sugar content
Subway's "bread" has 5x too much sugar in it. 
| quote |
Ireland's Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by the fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread.
The ruling came in a tax dispute brought by Bookfinders Ltd., an Irish Subway franchisee, which argued that some of its takeaway products — including teas, coffees and heated sandwiches — were not liable for value-added tax.
A panel of judges rejected the appeal Tuesday, ruling that the bread sold by Subway contains too much sugar to be categorized as a "staple food," which is not taxed.
"There is no dispute that the bread supplied by Subway in its heated sandwiches has a sugar content of 10 per cent of the weight of the flour included in the dough, and thus exceeds the 2 per cent specified," the judgment read.
The law makes a distinction between "bread as a staple food" and other baked goods "which are, or approach, confectionery or fancy baked goods," the judgment said.
Subway disagreed with the characterization in a statement.
"Subway's bread is, of course, bread," the company said in an email. "We have been baking fresh bread in our restaurants for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes."
Bookfinders was appealing a 2006 decision by authorities who refused to refund value-added tax payments. Lower courts had dismissed the case before it reached the Supreme Court.
Subway said it was reviewing the latest tax ruling. It added that the decision was based on an outdated bread exemption set by the Irish government that was updated in 2012.
