Hard candy - RANT

[PVnRT]

I was sitting here in my office this morning, not smoking, when a thought occured to me that it would be nice to have some Sweet Tarts to suck on rather than carinogen.

So, also wanting to use the buy one get one free pepsi cap that I had, I walk over to bookstore. No hard candy at all, let alone Sweet Tarts.

So, then I walk to the gas station on the highway at the exit of campus (it's a small campus) - once again, no Sweet Tarts, the only hard candy being a bag of tropical fruit Jolly Ranchers.

Jesus Christ, what the hell is going on here? Are Americans really so fucking lazy and into instant gratification that nobody can sell anything that can't be wolfed down in thirty (30) seconds? I never realized that it was work to roll that sour little disk in your mouth for a while before annihilating it...God damn those things are better than sex...

Not to mention the fact that for us diabetics, it's kind of nice to have something that you can eat a bit at a time that won't blast your sugar to the point where your blood starts tasting like fucking Kool-Aid.

So now I'm fiending for Sweet Tarts and nicotine...and have neither...fuck...
