Why I Probably Won’t Fit Into My Swimsuit This Summer
Okay, first of all who can walk by these things and NOT buy them? I mean, they’re called WHIPPETS. It means that they’re just A) begging to be bought and B) begging to be mocked. I did both. They are like little puffs of Heaven. Covered in chocolate. I think I need another box.
Snickerdoodles! Sweet! I can never make these right. The first time I tried I had no idea what cream of tartar was. The first thing that popped into mind was tartar sauce and I was all, “Ew, they want me to put that in COOKIES?” Then I realized what they meant. But the cookies still came out funny. I tried again and this time the cookies tasted like a brick with cinnamon sugar on top. So now I just buy the Snickerdoodle cookies. Trust me, it’s just easier that way.
Peeps are a given. For some reason the yellow Peeps always taste the best. And they also taste the best during Easter. Sure I’ll buy them for Halloween and Christmas but they really aren’t the same. And as for that chicken thing? Dude, it poops gum in the shape of an egg. Who could turn that down? I claimed it was for Tommy but I might have to swipe it for my entertainment. Hi, I’m Amber and I’m 28. Potty humor still makes me laugh.
Cadbury Crème Eggs. The bane of my existence. I cannot stay away from these things. I won’t even admit how many boxes I’ve gone through. And as for the Fun Dip? I bought them to try and ward off my sweet tooth. They are only 50 calories a bag. It probably looks funny to see a grown adult dipping a sugar stick in colored sugar that turns her tongue red.
Can I be the first to say that PEEPS POPCORN ROCKS! Seriously, it is so good. I need to buy another bag. The Dove chocolates are a given and that butter cream egg? Delicious!
So yes. I may not look the best in my swimsuit this year.
But it’s not my fault! Companies need to stop producing such delicious foods.
So there.

Ohhh I'll be right there with ya girl. I cannot go to CVS without buying Peeps!! They are addicting & you can't just eat one.
ReplyDeleteI've always heard of Snickerdoodles, but for some reason they are just not around where I live. I'll have to go on a hunt for them!! hehe.
Where in the world do you find those Whippets things?
ReplyDeletemmmmmmm- cadbury carmel eggs!!!! It's not that time of year again is it? The time when I gain 10 lbs from those things. Crap.
ReplyDeleteThe snickerdoodles look so good! I didn't know they made those!
Swinging in from SITS!
All my favorites that I can't buy here thanks for rubbing it in!! For some reason I think you will look great in a swimsuit you are tiny! Now pass me a cookie will ya!
ReplyDeletePeeps makes marshmallow popcorn?! I've never heard of that before. Neat! :)
ReplyDeleteWere these purchased all in the same shopping trip? :D
ReplyDeleteDove gets me in trouble. I could eat a whole bag in a day. In fact, I made it one of my resolutions to not eat so much Dove while at work. The only problem with that is that now I eat too many Hershey's Kisses and Reese Cups.
ReplyDeleteok did you see the new chocolate covered peeps?!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/
i'm sooo in trouble!
Yeah, blame on the companies, sista!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on everything but the Peeps. Never got into those...I think I'm the only one on the planet. I've never tried those cookies, but since they make me want to sing, I love them too! Whip it, whip it good!
ReplyDeleteto funny I am convinced Cadbury eggs were made by the devil hehe
ReplyDeleteOMG...Dove Chocolates, Cadbury Creme Eggs and those other Cadbury Chocolate Eggs with the crispy sugar shell.
ReplyDeleteCrap, I won't be able to go in any stores til after Easter!
Agreed. It's the fault of these big name companies that produce such sweet, delicious confections that are too irrisistable to pass up. That's why my waist line doesn't look the way it used to. Thanks for the info! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE creme eggs Yum, the best part of easter :)
ReplyDeleteI am such a fan of fun dip. I still buy it from time to time!
ReplyDeleteApparently I need to broaden my food horizons. Weren't you the one to introduce that flat meat thing? Now this. I've only tasted the peeps and fun-dip and that was many many years ago. I'm Sara and I'm 31 and never eaten a whippet, snickerdoodle, cadbury egg, dove chocolate, or eaten gum pooped by a chicken. :D
ReplyDeleteOh MAN! Now I am absolutley DYING for a Cadbury cream egg. *drools*
ReplyDeleteI won't fit into my bathing suit this year, either. . .but I think I'll still be able to blame it on the pregnancy - even though I'm due in April!
I have a solution. Eat all that stuff in one sitting.
ReplyDeleteGuaranteed you'll never touch it again.
Not that I would know...
holy crow you have a SWEET TOOTH! I am in sugar shock just looking at all of that.
ReplyDeleteYou are killing me here. I'm not eating any of the yummy goodies on the shelves right now, waiting until Easter (Lent now). And yellow peeps are my favorite.
ReplyDeletefor me, it's Mary Sue Easter Eggs. Specifically Vanilla Butter Cream. I 'stock up for the year' when they come out, but that crap's gone loooong before the end of May.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS and OMG!!!! Peeps popcorn? How did I not know about this before. Must. Go. Candy. Shopping....
ReplyDeleteMarshmallow flavored... popcorn?! Interesting. Anything covered in chocolate is guaranteed to be DELICIOUS, though.
ReplyDeleteEaster candy is my weakness! I have to try the peeps popcorn!
ReplyDeleteMmm snickerdoodles. I cheat when I bake them- I use the refrigerated sugar cookie dough and then make cinnamon sugar like for toast and roll balls of the dough around in that... I think they come out pretty good that way :)
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be the yellow chicks or I won't waste the calories!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you trying to torture me with all this deliciousness?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI love Easter Candy! Cadbury Eggs are my Fav!!
ReplyDeleteI am a chocoholic and I need help. I LOVE Easter, Halloween and any other holiday where they produce WONDERFUL, HEAVENLY chocolate.................
ReplyDeleteI made snickerdoodles a couple of weeks ago. I put in 1 cup of water instead of 1 teaspoon. (in denial about needing glasses) Still baked them. My hubby called them glutton-doodles. I am going to eat a Cadbury Egg in honor of you and your swimsuit. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Thanks for stopping by and commentin on my blog!!
ReplyDeleteThose fun dip sticks taste like crap. I used to throw them away and just pour the sugar in my mouth. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am guessing you have PMS...or maybe making my Easter basket...hmmmmmmm???
ReplyDeleteI hate Peeps. I am not a huge fan of marshmellow anything....but I love anything chocolate.
Peeps popcorn? Who would have thought. I would never buy something like that, but since you have said it is yummy I will now have to!
ReplyDeleteYeah I totally think Easter's a conspiracy with all the good junk food! I love your blog, so glad I found it, you make me laugh so much!
ReplyDeletePS I gave you an award on my blog!
I have a friend who microwaves her Peeps for just a few seconds and then she makes M.O. sounds while she eats them!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness I have a few cravings going on!! That was not helpful for my weightloss!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, it's the stupid Candy companies that always ruin my swim suit season too!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to wear sweatpants when I go swimming this summer...
ReplyDeleteI am so glad my children are grown and I no longer buy Easter candy, because it is truly the bane of my existence. And those Whippets? New on the market? Hmmm may have to get one bag for my grandson...
ReplyDeleteI agree. I can't resist delicious food.
ReplyDeleteEaster candy is WAY more deadly than Christmas candy.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen a cadbury egg yet and now the crazy pregnant lady must go to the store and raid the Easter aisle. If I can't fit in my swimsuit this year, I'm blaming you! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh fine, I'm knocking myself out to stick to this stupid diet and I come to you for solace, comfort and a warm snuggy-hug, and I'm faced with CANDY! HELP! I probably gained three pounds just reading this! AAAAACK!
ReplyDeleteOkay. I'm over it. Sorry I lost it there... deep cleansing breath, and ahhhhhhhhh.... Better.
HOOOLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAA! just kidding. but no seriously. they were having buy one get one free for the cadbury eggs, and i thought, i'll eat one and eat the other one another day. NO. i ate one in the car, and then ate the other one still while in the car. i suck. I swear i'm going to start working out soon.
ReplyDeleteSnicker Eggs, my Easter weakness. It's the best caramel to chocolate ratio.
ReplyDeleteSo yummy~
I love the cadbury little crunchy eggs...they are my absolute favorite! You are just like a little kid in a candy store. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are wicked showing me this. But I must confess that today at Walmart I bought Snickerdoodles and dark chocolate Reeses Cups. And Peeps are an absolute weakness of mine.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my post last week about English toffee:

I am terrible when it comes to sweets. Woe is me. Whippets indeed.

So what exactly DOES cream of tartar do? I never figured that one out, I just always avoided the recipes that asked for it as an ingredient.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by today.
Shelly at Tropical Mum
You should hang out with me. I can make amazing snickerdoodles. However, I would probably still your whippets. Those look amazingly yummy!.
ReplyDeleteBathing suit, schmathing suit! Who cares?
♥Spot
I love creme eggs, I get them sent over all the time. I don't care if I can't get into my bathing suit ever again, I cannot give them up. Actually, I can always get into the bathing suit, it just doesn't always look that good. Ah, who cares, I don't need to be in Sports Illustrated!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what snickerdoodles are, but the name is amazing.
I've never heard of Whippets...but I'm sure I'd love them. It ahs lots of sugar, right? What's not to love?!
ReplyDeleteCadbury eggs need to not be filled with creamy goodness and Easter magic.
ReplyDeleteThey are my Spring downfall.
Peeps popcorn! Are you kidding me?! I must have some!
ReplyDeleteDamn it! I think I just gained 10 pounds reading this post! Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Im craving Peeps. Mmmmm....
Never heard of whippets, but now I'm on the hunt.
ReplyDeleteBut first - Shamrock shakes at McDonald's. Ever have 'em? Delish!
So I spotted something we have too! Dove eggs! Oh and those Pure Chocolate Whippets? They are really called Chocolate Royales.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves those Cadbury Crème Eggs. I will have to get some for him!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Whippets in any of the stores here. And that's a good thing because I'd probably eat so many that my butt would start to look like one giant whippet.
ReplyDeletePeeps...love them!!
How is it possible that Robin's Eggs are not represented here? Best Easter candy EVER!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on make it on the top 100 bloggers of 1999 List!
ReplyDeleteHow could you forget the peanut butter eggs?! OMGosh I could eat those all day and still want more.
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment, but I don't have time if I want to get to the store before it closes now that my sweet tooth is hollering at me!
