HARIBO GUMMY BEARS ARE MY FAVE!
And nobody understands that they ARE different than regular random gummy bears!
Yay DCPD!
Great list...Way to get folks off the Hater-Tots :)
Hustleman - After reading your HighLARIOUS blog, I forgot to add chicken fingers to this list. I probably included to much food on here anyway, but you could sit me in the nastiest, stank Mom and Pop diner on the outskirts of Kentwood, LA and I would still be excited if chicken fingers were on the menu.
I have a list like this in my profile that gets cut off because I made it too long. There are just so many amazing things we take for granted.
As for Thursday: e-mail me. dccookie@gmail.com
I am a sugar candy freak -- jelly beans, Mike & Ike's of all flavors, Swedish fish, Good & Plenty, etc. You name a chewy candy and, chances are, I love it. Except the Gummy Bear. I just don't get it! They are so unsatisfying to me. I can eat a huge bowl of them and still want something more flavorful. I will, however, give them another chance (the Haribo kind for sure)
Speaking of whole bowl of 'em, this awesome restaurant in San Fran puts a huge bowl of Gummy Bears on the table after your meal.
P.S. What's going on Thursday?
yes what IS happening on Thursday?
MPL - what restaurant has the bowl of gummy bears???
