So today I received a bag of Fruit Bursts with only the Banana's left. The reason for this is last week whilst playing Star wars monopoly I was offered Fruit Bursts, and asked what my favourite flavour was. I told the person offering me the Fruit Burst that I didn't have a favourite and I just took whatever one my hand rested upon.
 |
| "You what?" |
The offerer of the candy could not believe that I had no preference. Over the course of the evening as everyone scoured the bag for their favourite flavours, and leaving behind the dregs, I was getting more and more Banana flavoured candies. This lead to believe Banana was my favourite flavour, I tried to explain this was due to Banana being others least favourite flavour, and there being more in the bag, but she was not buying.
 |
| "...so because less people like Banana, there are more left....." |
So I have been labelled a Banana lover, and I don't think I am going to be able to shake the title. But I am no more a Banana lover, than a mint lolly out of the part mix lover, or a white/black jelly bean lover. I just happen to eat all those candies because I don't mind them, and I am not a lollist, I treat them all equally.
 |
| The original Klu Klux Klan members just didn't like Black Jellybeans, somewhere along the line the message got distorted. |
But this event got me thinking about the other Candy related stories I have been thinking about.
Hard Lollies vs Soft lollies
The other day at a staff morning tea I noticed that they had replaced the standard bowl of soft candies with Hard candies. I wondered if this had something to do with the candy budget getting out of hand.
 |
| "How are they spending so much on Candy?" |
You see the problem with soft candies is you can literally just sit there grazing on the candy, the average time for morning tea ~30 minutes, average amount of soft candies I could conceivably eat in that time is about a million.
 |
| One candy at a time is for wimps |
But since they moved to the hard candies, my and probably the rest of the staffs candy consumption has fallen dramatically. The average time to eat their new hard candies ~ 2 hours.
 |
| I am pretty sure the Department consulted with this man to curb my candy consumption. |
I pop the first candy in my mouth when I arrive and then I can do nothing else, the rest of the candies are safe.
