The Sweet Stuff...

Today, I decided to crash for a bit on the couch, and decided to watch Food Network's "Food Wars". It was one of those lazy moments where I just did NOT feel like changing the channel, not because I was super interested in the show, but I didn't feel like challenging my hand to find the remote. We'll call it my "guy moment".

Tonight they showed the Food Wars between Ice Cream (Ben & Jerry's/Hagan Daz) and the Cola Wars (Coke v. Pepsi). I already have my favorites between the two. While my uncle prefers Pepsi and I drank Diet Pepsi growing up, I'm more of a Diet Coke gal. (Diet Coke with a bit of Captain Morgan is even better!). Ice Cream - I like both Ben & Jerry's & Hagan Daz. I'm not super picky - I have favorites in both brands and they offer the light/non-fat versions which makes me very happy.

Then they went onto candy companies and let me tell you - the nostalgia wave hit. They showed Dylan Lauren's "Dylan's Candy Bar" as well as brands such as Reeses/Hersey's, The Sky Bar and those daggone candy dots from Necco (Did you know they were made in Cambridge Massachusetts?). Now, I'm a sucker for Reese's Pieces/PB Cups, etc. but candy wise, I'm not super fan. I don't really find myself craving sweet stuff - more salty. Doritos Cool Ranch & I have been longtime friends, but now I have an insane curiosity to go to the Florida Mall tomorrow and actually check out Dylan's Candy Bar. I have never visited the store - just always saw it on my travels to 9West and M.A.C.

I guess it might be what Food Network said: "More people are becoming wistful for their childhood candies". What's your candy craving?
