the sweet science

it's a wonder of modern confectionery. or chemistry. i'm talking about sour gummi worms, or "squirms" as they're called here. how can something that is almost wholly comprised of sugar still taste sour? it's a miracle. a suspension of the normal laws of nature. and is more amazing in its own way than the feeding of the 5,000.

i second that "mmm".

i think sours are the post-grad level of gummi consumption, after you've already qualified in regular worms, teeth, babies, snakes and whatnot.

I had some sour cola bottles last night and they were too sour for me....

I'd much rather sit in the hogsbreath sipping a caramel smoothie.

Huh. That sounds tasty. Sunshine AND excellent confectionary? Sounds like a case for emigration to me.

what? would you leave the land of illegal immigrants and negative equity for a handful of lollies?

also, we don't have toffee shops here. alas.
