It’s pretty much like staring at a large rack of candy, lots of pretty colors and labels that make you hungry but unsure what you’re in the mood for. With so many choices as a consumer, it can take you much longer to pick what will satisfy your craving. Even picking an old favorite can pale in comparison when imagining how good the others you haven’t tried yet might be.
You have the bright colored bulk fruit flavored that come in packs. I never really liked these kinds; usually I single out a favorite amongst them and never really care for the others after. Plus, if you continue to get these just to have that single flavor you’re going to get bored of the taste eventually. It can become very wasteful, time and money wise, to keep buying these just to enjoy a few.
In the same vein are the treats that are too sugary. They are great for all of about three seconds when they first hit your tongue, and then you don’t want to have them for another month. If you struggle through and keep eating these you’ll eventually feel a bit sick, especially if you eat them in excess. One who constantly ingests these types is often jittery, constantly crashing from the sugar rush.
Then there are the sweet and salty chocolate candies. They bring the best of both worlds to you, making it very easy to get addicted to them. Often packaged singularly, they also provide just enough to satiate your craving. The only problem with this candy is because they’re so good and get bought so much that people put weird shit in them. You have something good and then they’ll start putting almonds or pretzels in them, completely throwing off the balance it once had.
Some people would just turn away from the rack at this point and get a soda or something. They realize they’re wasting time trying to find something that will never really satisfy their hunger completely. It’s just fattening processed sugar most of the time anyway, very little nutritional value to them. The joy is sucked out of them before they have even tried a piece.
Personally, I think candy should be eaten sparingly or it just loses the magic of itself. Picking a piece is half the fun since you have no idea what it’s really going to be like. You can laugh with your friends about how crappy it tastes or insist they try your new sugar coated god. The whole point of it is to make your life a little bit sweeter anyway, as long as you keep that mentality you can’t really go wrong with whatever you pick.
