This happens to me with old Cadbury Eggs. The fresh ones (how messed up is this thought, btw?) are gooier and almost liquid. As they age the center kind of crystalizes and gets way less tastey.

I'm actually thinking of fresh Cadbury eggs here. That's the effect they have on me and I am not certain of how they manage to be more sugary than colored sugar. My assumption is that it's just because they're thicker and thus the flavor doesn't get quickly washed away or diluted by saliva.

[Choop]

Sugar is like cocaine, man. It goes faster than Jeff Gordon in Raleigh... or something like that. Now, when it's slowed in its going process, as if magically suspended in a slow-flow mixture such as Cadbury filling, it's more intense than Jeff Goldblum on a mixture of heroin, pot, GHB, ecstasy, crystal meth, and Shakespeare.


Not that I celebrate(d) Easter* but tomorrow's a buddy's birthday, and mrs_choop made a sweet potato cake. It was delicioussss. I'll post the recipe as soon as I receive permission from the magazine it was in - the recipe ain't on the website. Anyway, it was dayum good.

* round these parts we calls it "ether"

[V-Adore]

Mmmmmm, ether. It makes every Easter better.

(I spent half the day wandering around an anime convention, which is fundamentally the same neurochemical phenomenon.)

[Choop]

V, you're still my internet crush. If only it were legal! And not so immoral!

[V-Adore]

Come now, Choop, surely it would be legal and sort-of-moral to long after me from afar! As long as you don't, like, marry my mother to become my guardian and then kidnap me after she dies accidentally, taking me on a cross-country road trip to oblivion and both of our certain dissolution in a mire of uncertainty and duality. I think my dad would be sort of mad about that.

[Choop]

As would my wife, V.

As would my wife.



*edit* As also would Alicia Silverstone/Kirsten Dunst/Mandy Moore/Kim Catrall and her screenwriter with whom she's remaking the same goddamned movie again and again and again ...erm? Wake up, Hollywood.

I inherited my favorite peep mutilation technique from my grandmother. Buy peeps for cheap after Easter, poke holes in the celophane, and put into cupboard, preferably until next year. Once stale, peeps turn into marshmellowy goodness.

Me, I like Nabokov AND nasty-tasting marshmallow-thingys.

Instead of traditional Easter candy, I received Swedish giraffe.

While I'm sure one could read a significance into that, I think it's just because my girlfriend knows that I like Swedish giraffe.

I have yet to actually eat any though, so no sugar OD for me.

Hey baby, how you doin'?

[V-Adore]

Opened up the bag of caramel creams today. These may be humanity's most perfect every-season candy and are only prevented from being the finest ever by the existence of Cadbury Mini Eggs.

[Nabubrush]

The sweetie convinced me to go out and buy huge quantites of Cadbury eggs at like 9:00 last night - so we have some 15 boxes of them in our refrigerator. Once we got them all home she looked in there, at them, and turned to me and said "I'm not eating any of those - I'm too fat". I'd get all bent out of shape about her not actually being fat, and it being a waste of money to go buy them and everything, but I get to eat 'em so the hell with it.

I always get red Swedish giraffe as presents. Easter, Christmas, Steak & A Blowjob Day, birthdays. Because they are just that good.

Unlike mini Cadbury Eggs. I don't get these. They totally throw off the tastey center:shell ratio. That's why I don't like mini M&Ms and am wary of the new giant Reese Cups.

When I say "Mini Eggs" re: Cadbury, I actually mean those little candy-coated chocolate thingers in the purple packages. They are love. The ones that are just miniature versions of the Creme Eggs are also tasty, but they're not all that good compared with their siblings.

[Ben-San]

That's why I don't like mini M&Ms and am wary of the new giant Reese Cups.

The giant Reese's Cups have their own problems. They retain the same proportions (internal and external) as a regular Reese's Cup only increased to huge size. The result is that the volume of peanut butter near the middle and chocolate near the edges increase much more than the other element, and vice versa, which not only makes them taste funny but also makes them structurally unsound such that the middle sags out. It's a living, sugary embodiment of a mathematical principle I had previously only had reason to apply to bad science-fiction movies.
