For those of you who think I mean the boiled sweets, no, no I do not, I mean these:
A kilogram of these costs me £7 (which is pretty good value, typical well priced pick'n'mix is 79p/100g, and this works out at 70p/100g *thumbs up* ) and as you can see they come in a variety of colours. By variety I mean three. Green, Yellow and Pink. There is actually no difference in taste between the variants, just for aesthetic appeal. Funnily, much like skittles, or starburst, you always (or I always) seem to get a far greater quantity of one colour than the other.
The last two time I had a very prominent pink deficiency , but this time I am swamped in them. And this disheartens me. I'm not asking for a perfectly balanced bunch of sweets, 1/3 being pink, of which 1/2 have yellow inners, and the other 1/2 have green inners, but for some reason I have come into playing an eating game with these sweets.
Whenever I grab a handful (or two, or three) I often place them on the cleanest surface available (a rare commodity in the workplace - Oil Rig) then eat one. I note its inner colour, and then I must eat one with an outer colour the last one's inner colour was. And then I find myself planning a path through my sweets just so I can fulfil this inane obsession. And here is where an extreme lack or bountiful quantity of one (outer) colour makes this hard. Why I try to do this, I'm not sure. Often I fail, and eat the rest of the pile in a shovel full, rather than savouring them, almost like a punishment. How sad.
Anyway, I just finished my bag on this trip after a week, which is normal, and equates to about 140g a day, totally healthy....
Anyway, while writing this I played this RC game, and lost. How sad, so sad.
"totally healthy" - seems legit!
