Post a useless fact

[Callaway]

Funny you mention candy. I had a bite today of modern candycrap - first time in many years I have tried candy, other than chocolate or something I made, myself.

I was going to post in the bitch thread about trying a "Laffy Taffy."   It was banana flavored, supposedly.  I can remember having "Kits" when I was a kid and they were taffy-like, artificially flavored, sugar-rich, bullshit candy. I was expecting to be over wrought with flavors which I could smell, but hardly taste.

I had one in my mouth for about thirty seconds. It flipped me, the FUCK, out!! I immediately began to hiccup. I spat it out on the third hiccup. About one minute later, I began to sweat profusely, managed to control the hiccups, but my nose also began to run like I had a cold or like something was attacking an allergy.
I actually spat it about forty feet and was within a couple of inches of the trash compactor door.

Now, my mouth, three hours later mind you, is still numb. I can only feel my tongue if I bite down into it. my palate has no tactile sensation at all. I even drug my fingernail across my palate a few times to make sure of this. My mouth is completely numb from a Laffy Taffy, banana flavored candy.

It was entirely too strong for me.

 

You must be allergic to one of the ingredients, I think.  I wonder if it is the artificial banana flavoring.

It must be something alongg those lines.

It felt like poison.

I may be a little hyper, but I'll be damned before I allow any of that kind of crap across my kids. They seem to each have much the same reactions to things as myself.

I let them keep their Halloween  "Malted Milk Balls,"  "Tootsie Rolls,"  "Hershey's" and "Mars"  products, but all the rest have one or two ingredients which we have been advised to avoid.

I did let them eat the "Gummy"  tongues and eyeballs they got this year, though.

 :lol:

How the hell can you tell a kid they can't eat a gummy eyeball?







(I made it - and I didn't even look, until now. I made it!)

I used to eat loads of sweets as a kid; my favourites were the various gummy ones.

My father was left-handed, but was forced to use his right hand for writing in school. Left-handedness was too freaky back then.

My mother and father knew people like that my older sister was of the generation that they just stopped doing that too on a regular basis

It was commonplace back then. No wonder some people wrote like MDs.
