Oh man, that Swedish Fish picture (the candy, not the can) is killing me!
I often take a book to bed at night along with a glass of white wine and a dozen or so pieces of fruity candy (Dots, Jujubees, Jelly Bellies, Mike & Ike's, Skittles, Starburst -- Hot Tamales thrown in there just to mix it up). I would love to have some Swedish Fish tonight.
Has to be fruity candy with white wine; chocolate only goes with red. I can't be the only person who thinks that.

Dots. Red Hot Dollars. Gummy bears. Jujubes. Starburst. Licorice, red and black. Nougat. Oh my.
My mouth is all bridges, crowns and implants at this point.

I identify with this. I feel so guilty but even my foodie daughter who travels the world seeking out 3* Michelin restaurants gobbles them down, and we fight over the crispy edges that you have to scrape off the baking dish.
I made what the NYTimes called the worlds best brownies today. A fortune in chocolate and involving making fresh caramel. Then there's the sea salt flakes on top. I keep sneaking back to the pan for another little bite.
I have literally become sick in real Chex mix. Not the new recipe and certainly not the bagged junk, the original recipe with more butter, salt and other bad stuff. I've eaten until I barfed.

No bridges but all crowns and implants. Multiple 1000's of dollars of dental work and as much as I love licorice or caramels or twizzlers or starburst or skittles....I love my money more. I once tasted ONE jelly belly at whole foods (sample on display) and a crown came off. Then of course there wasn't enough under it to fit a new crown so the tooth had to be pulled, implant etc. My $5000 free jelly belly.

I'm on second generation crowns in a couple instances. Some of my originals may be over 35 years old.
I do admit I feel a little aggravation over supporting my dentist's hobbies so extravagantly. I'd like a punch card where every 5th crown is free.
