Gaw-- I didn't even like them when I was a kid! As disappointing, disgusting candy, they are in the same league with those hideous orange peanut-shaped candies (which, incongruously, lack any peanut flavor). Or those orange- and black-wrapped Halloween candies--the ones cheap people give out.
My favorite Easter candies: Cadbury's mini-eggs! These are simply a nice, smooth chocolate egg (maybe an inch long) with a thin, hard shell--specked blue, pink, yellow, and white. They come in a purple bag. I also love Jelly Bellies (sans licorice!), but never much cared for "regular" tasteless, sweet jellybeans.

btw, what dumba** would ask this question at the Merc? Hey lets go to an overeaters group meeting and ask if they eat vegetables

Everywhere in the world a cup = 8 oz. Except when it comes to coffee makers. Fill it to the 10 cup mark, and you only get 4 cups of coffee.

I always buy a box but never even open them. They're up there with Circus Peanuts in my book (not a valid candy).
A friend of mine used to 'peep' her friends. Getting peeped was when you woke up and found all of your car windows completely covered with Easter Peeps. They stick to glass pretty well if you get them damp. Don't put them on the painted surfaces, though...probably not good for the paint.

Steve Ortiz is the Chairman of the Tribal Council of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. He has a job and is good at it. He is very well respected.

And to the dude who answered "Sweets are not good for you," I say, answer the question! It is a yes or no question, not looking for your opinion on sweets in general. geez
