Very, very, very important question

    Let's call a spade a spade: men and women are bogged down by a lot of very tough questions in life. Does size matter? Am I too fat? Am I too thin? Will I ever meet the man of my dreams? Will I ever meet the woman of my dreams? Does God exist? These are important, yet uncomfortable questions to ponder, but put them on the back burner for a second and answer another very important and far more comfortable question.

    If you had to - and I mean absolutely had to - reach your daily caloric intake by eating just one sweet from a bag of Haribo starmix, which one would it be? Me? I love the eggs. I'm not crazy about real eggs, but those ones are great. Sometimes I eat around the white and just enjoy the yolk on its own last. It's fantastic.

    I actually do the same with the love hearts - nibble away at the white first. Cola bottles? Not crazy about them at all to be honest. They're a bit overrated. I mean, they're nice and all but do they deserve their own bag? It's like giving Roy Cropper a spin-off show. It's just a sense, 'What the f*ck is this like?'. Gummy bears have their own bag as well for some reason, but the eggs are mugged off. Hmm, weird.

    Happy Christmas.

    Racist.

    Maybe the dark colouring is why I don't like cola bottles :(

    If there are any stars in Starmix I would choose thus.

    I would imagine it as a real hydrogen ball and me as God eating it.

    Do you work for Haribo?

    I mean, they're not great like. You can't bayt an iced caramel.

    Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

    Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

    When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:

    M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc. Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A.

    along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

    This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

    I'd have whipped those dickheads into shape. Imagine giving cola bottles and gummy bears - ****ing gummy bears - their own pack and not the eggs :mad:

    Secret grá for the foam strawberries. Preferably by the handful. Was eyeing them up through the window of Fealz as I went to the pub last night - huge urge to rush in & indulge.

    Oh the rings with the handle in Tangfastics. The sharks are also pretty good. I give my wife the cola bottles, as you note they are a write off. We split the cherries, I can take or leave them, I'll take them if I haven't hit my sugar quota after the rings and sharks are gone.

    Sometimes she'll sneak a ring or shark when reaching for her allotted cola bottles, this will always provoke a sharp look or comment from me, she's a wonderful wife and mother but that's taking liberties...

    Those eggs are the best sweet around. Would swap a kilo of Quality street for a small bag of those eggs.

    I love the rings and cola bottles. The eggs and hearts are horrible...all squidgy and bland.
    They can fk right off.

    We could cut a deal. I have your eggs and hearts and you have my rings and cola bottles.
