[QUOTE=jopperm2]My mom used to work for hostess and she would do the same thing with those little fruit pies. I lived on those in high school. I ate one every day on the way there. :p

Brownies eh? Make sure not to get any seeds in them. ;)

I love dark chocolate and you can only get decent stuff in a afew places and you reallyu pay for it.

I'll send a care package of American food odditees to any european that is willing to send me a little decent chocolate.[/QUOTE]

Ha, never ever trying those kinds of brownies again. Pot does weird things to me. :eek:

I lived on those pies through school too. Coke and a pie, every day. Horrible for you too, but then again I walked to and from school too. Or those little chocolate donuts. If those lunch workers could actually cook, or let me back there I would have had decent food to eat. :(

I did the pie and a pepsi(my mom likes pepsi, so that's what we had) on my walk too. Then I'd eat school breakfast. We had a private company do the cooking so it was way better than USDA stuff. Then I got in the habit of just eating a superbun(it's like a honey bun, but not as bad for you and fortified with vitamins) and 2 chocolate milks every day.

I'm willing to take anything that is >70% Cocoa, (or something interesting) I'm just tired of the light brown "milk" chocolate that they have here that wouldn't even be considered chocolate in some countries.

You do realize that you're discussing something that probably has a shelf life longer than most forms of carbon?

Which explains my Twinkie song of course! :D

Yeah, of course fable. I'm sure Magrus probably still has the rest of the twinkies from the box he got the only one he ever ate from. :D

The experarition date on them is probably given in MMDDYYYYY format, and that's just a suggested sell by date. ;)

Twinkies are alright, but peeps are the best. :D If I get a hold of peeps, they don't last long. :rolleyes: :o

I'll eat almost anything that has chocolate in it, but if it has to much chocolate, it gets kinda gross and disgusting.

Uh... the sight of those twinkies make me sick...
I remember once an American friend of mine gave me some kind of sweets - strips of sg like gummy, but it was much harder to chew than gummy bears. It was sooooo tasteless that I didn't understand why they call it "food", really, it felt like chewing a plastic bag. One bit was quite enough to make me never touch American sweets anymore.

However, when I was in Switzerland... :cool: :D

OMG the swiss chocolate is the treat of the gods-that-don't-eat-tandoori :p

chocolate is unbelievable stuff. some say it's a sex-replacement, but it's more like an afrodisiac than a suppressor.. :D :D

what's in the peeps??
