Women and men are like candies

Women and men are like candies….they’re all bad for your teeth, but you just can’t help yourself. The trick is finding a candy that fits you best. For me, most people fall into a couple bucket categories – the same way I have my preferences about candy, I do about people.

A note of caution: Be wary of pretty wrappers. More often than you think, what’s inside the wrappers doesn’t taste good.

Taffy
Yes, it tastes good, but these candies get stuck in your teeth. They are sticky and clingy and once bitten into, it’s difficult to get them out of your teeth (that happens to be one of my pet peeves).
But there may be an art to taffy consumption – lots of my friends claim they can eat taffy without getting in stuck in their teeth. Maybe they were born with taffy-repellant on their teeth enamel?

Coffee Candy
These candies give you an immediate buzz, but soon after, you’ll just crash and feel worse than before you started.

JawBreakers
They’re called that for a reason. It takes you forever to get through that shell, and the inside may not be worth it. Too much work for nothing, and worse, you might even hurt yourself in the process.

Ferrero Rocher
These candies are pricier, but the expensive ingredients pay off because it’s just so ridiculously good. The quality is unrivaled so lots of people strive for this type, but either can’t afford or won’t risk trying to be with them in fear that they’ll lose them. There are lots of imitations of these out there, but of course, they're just not as good as the original.

Peeps
Peeps all pretty much look the same. They’re artificially created (all sugar), and once you have a tiny nibble, it’s already too much.

Kit Kats
= Crunchy, layered goodness. This is probably my favorite. And the closest to the only thing I could think of that I really like and seek out: Yogurt with Fruit and Granola. Yes, I know it’s not candy – but it’s what I try to stick to, to be healthy. :)
Sure, it’s not as glamorous as Belgian chocolate or any other junk food, but it has the best taste. It's real, fresh, and good for you. In my opinion, with fruit, the sweet pieces always make up for those sour grapes.

In an ideal world, we could make our other halves like we do at ColdStone. But since they are candies, we just have to make do with what’s out there.
