I had a longer post planned, but I’ve got quite a headache, so I think I’ll be brief instead. I don’t allow myself many treats these days, what with the trying to lose weight and the keeping control of the blood sugar (apparently my headache is forcing me to use some sort of pseudo-German syntax, as I originally typed that sentence “…and the keeping of the blood sugar under control”) but lately I’ve been craving sweets. Well, actually sweets and French fries, so if you know of any stores that sell fries and chocolate fudge, please hook me up.
Anyway, there’s a vending machine at work with the usual assortment of chips, cookies, Ho Hos and so on, and I’ve been curiously eyeing this new candy they put in there called Hershey’s Kissables. They are little tiny Hershey’s kisses in a hard candy shell. And today, my curiosity and my craving combined to convince me that I had to buy them. I thought they’d be like M & M’s, but sadly, I was wrong. They are terrible. The coating tastes yucky and it ruined the chocolate. I ate two of them, made a face and put the bag away (put the bag away because throwing out candy, even crappy candy is surely some sort of sin. I’m sure I can find someone who wants to eat them). It was such a letdown that I actually sat at my desk and pouted for a little while. My highly anticipated and rare snack treat turning out to be lame. How could the good folks at Hershey’s disappoint me like this?
Do not worry though – I picked up a chocolate chip cookie in the bakery at Whole Foods tonight to fulfill my craving and console myself over the Great Kissables Fiasco of '06.
I hit the vending machine here the other day and it was really unsatisfying. I dont think I'll try it again. And I'm the guy who used to live off vending machines!
i haven't tried the Kissables yet, but thanks for the heads up! perhaps i won't waste my money on them after all. :)
I had those once and hated them. My kids wouldn't even eat them. Hope your headache goes away soon!
I like hearing opinions on new food items!
Anyway, one things that really disappointed me are those little mini m&ms. I remember buying a little bottle of them (yes, they came in bottles) at the checkout line when they first came out. I hated them! They tasted bitter, like baking chips.
