Question for those 30 and over - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 10-21-2006, 08:13 PM

Is it hard for you to enjoy candy like you did when you were a teenager? I have now come to the conclusion that I can no longer eat candy and only snacks with salt. I tried eating Twizzler Bits tonight and they taste like Twizzler SH*TS-LOL Anyway, anyone else 30 and over have trouble enjoying Candy?

Yea I rarely eat just plain candy anymore. I don't even remember the last time I had bubble gum.

I still like the little Debbie cakes and the hostess pies but just plain candy I rarely eat anymore.

That's what I thought, but I see I was wrong tonight-lol

I had a Hershey bar earlier today, because chocolate contains important antioxidents that help the body.

Adults can justify thier candy consumption.

I'm in the same boat myself. Even as a kid, I didn't eat that much candy... not to my knowledge, anyway. I ate candy more often, but hardly ever these days.

I'll buy the occasional bag of milk chocolate OR dark chocolate M&M's, plain Hersheys, or a Twix bar, and that's about it, as far as my candy consumption goes. I never was much for candy, although I ate them more often as a kid.

Now, potato chips, on the other hand...

I agree Solomon, I'll have candy just every so often. Just don't have the taste for it that I did several years ago. I don't really have a taste for salty snacks anymore either.

I don't have much of an appetite for it anymore. Maybe once in awhile, i'll get a small bag of candy, like Rolos or Riesen, but that's about it. Lately, I prefer fruit or cheese and crackers.

I still like candy, too--just not maybe crave it on a daily basis as I did when I was about 11. Every now and and then I enjoy a Kit Kat, Snickers, Milky Way, Three Muskateers, Butterfinger or Reese's.

I guess since I'm allergic to chocolate I don't crave it as much.

I would say I enjoy candy almost as much as when I was a teenager. Not quite as much but almost.

dawsongirl · 10-22-2006, 03:19 AM

Nah, I like chips or something better. I don't really crave candy bars anymore. I used to love Skittles and now they sound like crap. Sugar in a sugar shell. Yuck.

Plus now I feel guilty for eating that junk.

GCW · 10-22-2006, 04:26 PM

The only candy I crave now is chocolate candy like Twix, M'Ms or snickers. But I do not crave the others like skittles and starburst like I did when I was a teenager. Now I much rather eat and crave chips, cheez doodles and doritos.
