I decided to give up sugar for the rest of the month and in walks my sister with a box of Sno Balls. OK, after I have about 5 or 6 of these then I'll give up sugar.

(4,243 posts)I've already had 2 of them. I don't think 2 more before I go to bed will hurt.

(4,243 posts)I assume that's where she got them. I'll ask the next time I see her.

(21,020 posts)had one of those in years, but yeah...they were great.
I had a method for eating them, too.
First, peel off the marshmallow/coconut skin and eat slowly, savoring each bite.
Then attack the chocolate part...eat around the outside of the cake, leaving the cream for last.
Pop the whole thing into the mouth and taste the creamy goodness.
Then...last crucial part...
a glass of ice cold milk.
OMG. It's almost a sexual experience...

There are products that are gone forever, such as:
Laura Scudder Potato Chips
Peter & Paul Almond Cluster
Granny Goose Potato Chips (I like chips, as you can see)
Hershey's Gold (not sure of its name, but it was a big chocolate bar with lots of almonds)
Lots more.

(5,637 posts)I searched high and low for them a year or so ago.

(4,243 posts)When she walked through the door and handed them to me I didn't argue.

(12,132 posts)In my experience sugar is about a million times harder to kick than tobacco was.
LeftofObama
(4,243 posts)I'll just run a couple of extra miles tomorrow to make up for it. I go through spurts in giving up sugar. About every 6 months or so I'll give it up completely for a couple of weeks.

(6,154 posts)Twinkies, Sno Balls, Chocolate puffed cakes of various types. I can't remember the names of most of them but this is a whole category of "food", I use the term food lightly here as I'm not sure if something that never expires is strictly speaking food I'm lucky I never got into these.
