Candy

As I received my package in the mail I was watching TV where I saw a commercial for sourpatch kids. I immediately knew that was what I wanted to buy. As I was driving to the store my mouth started to water just thinking about the sour taste of the candy I had pre-selected in my mind. Once I arrived at the store I became conflicted because I saw two other types of candy that I happen to love as well, Nerds and Gopstoppers. My pre-decision was now changing. I was thinking about the sugary crystals of the nerds melting on my tongue and the color and flavor changing spheres of sweetness with the gobstoppers. Despite my conflicting decision, I decided to go with the sour but then sweet deliciousness of the sourpatch kids. Even though I wanted to eat them all on my way home I decided to wait until I was done driving to eat them at my house. Before I could even eat my first one, my mouth started to water. As I opened the candy I separated them by their colors: orange, yellow, green and red. I ate the sourpatch in the order of my least favorite color to my favorite color, orange then green then yellow then red. I always eat any of my food like this because I like to save the best for last. When I was eating my candy I shared a couple with my sister but that was it. The candy was sour when I first put them in my mouth but after around thirty seconds my saliva made the sugary crystals melt and made them have a sweet taste to them. This was a perfect combination for me and I was not able to save any to eat for the next day. I was a little upset when I got to the end of eating all my candy because I still wanted more. Despite my wanting more, the sour taste of the candy had left my taste buds raw but still wanting more.

  1. Great, vivid descriptions! Tell me about what it takes to catch your eye at the candy shelf. How did Nerds and Gopstoppers do it?

    Also, please blog a little about yourself so I can get to know you a little better. Thanks!
