I'm getting on a flight and I was thinking I would grab some twizzlers or something. Everything is gonzo size now, I just want 100 calories and I don't want to save any for later. I can't even get my kids a treat because everything is king size. I think Hershey bars are still the same size but anything even fruit snacks are like 1000 calorie sacks. At least it helps keep my sweet tooth at bay.

when my great grandmother was on her deathbed all she wanted to talk to me about was penny candies, how great they were in such varieties, and all for just a penny. it was so sad, so sad indeed that i had never seen such a thing. then she began to pontificate on the virtues of her favorite penny candy, the most racist candy i’ve ever heard of to this day. she shooed me away and that was that

You're in the Duty Free shop and you see the giant Toblerone and realize the price per volume is quite cheap - you can't pass this bargain up!

I have always dreamed of starting a small portion restaurant that only serves like 600 calories for lunch and like 700 for dinner but charges the same. I figure now with all the ozempic going around it might be a good time. Or an ice cream parlor that only gives like 1.5 oz servings.

I've always wondered who these people are eating king sized snickers bars. They're absolutely huge and dense, just two bites is enough of a snickers bar for me, even then it feels like a lot of caramel, and those king sizes are massive. Just holding that thing and knocking it back is wild.

Kids, probably? I know when I was eight I didn't really have a concept of "too much candy".

Was it chocolate creme drops?


They actually came up in conversation yesterday. We were heading home from a birthday party, and old people not letting go of bad terms came up. My roommate, originally from California, did not know about this candy, and the slur name it had.


They also go by witch tits, which is a way better name than either the slur name or the official name.

I would like a small affordable robot with a camera that could stay docked that I could sent around if I was concerned about something in the house
I was at Walgreens the other day and right by the register they had a couple of giant Toblerone bars.

In my head some landscaper in one of those ugly green shirts bought one after getting paid on Friday and ate entire thing in his Nissan Altima that is rusting and missing a fender with the air conditioning turned off to save gas and felt like a loving king.

The cups and candies are so much smaller now, plus the big bars are broken into 2 smaller "shareable" pieces. They give you more candy in the "share bag" to cover the insane cost increases. Look at the size of a "fun sized" Snickers these days for crying out loud.

Who wants to eat less candy? My body is 40% palm oil. Chocolate is people! Holy God of poo poo I've stepped into a crazy thread for crazy people! :rant: gently caress chocolate slave plantations tho

One style of the shaq gummies is good, the other is bad and I don't remember which bag is which. They are loaded with mineral oil which will make you poo poo your brains out though? At least that's what happened to me ... a value too good to be true

There are also some Shaq gummies shaped like saguaros that are actually pretty good. Not sure what makes them Shaq themed, though. I don't remember them making me poo poo my brains out.

But even at the supermarket. All that poo poo is vast. You have to spend like six bucks and either dump two thirds in the trash or continue America's war on the pancreas.

Titanohyrax is an extinct genus of large to very large hyrax from the Eocene and Oligocene. Some species are estimated to have been as large as the modern rhinoceros. Estimates of body mass range from 600 kg (1,300 lb) to 1,300 kg (2,900 lb).

Sounds pretty cool.

On the other hand, I kind of appreciate the huge portions that restaurants give you, because most of the time the portion is exactly the right size for me to get two meals out of it. Sometimes I even get three servings if it's a big enough portion.
