I like sour things, and they were basically Chewy Spree with a sour oomph, which is right down my alley. It was a nice surprise and treat at the movie theater.<\/p>\n<p>Then I made the first mistake of trying to figure out where I can find them. I couldn&#8217;t find anywhere selling them in Cape, but I did find places on my way to St. Louis that sold them. Of course, I wanted them, because they were good, and kind of a treat for when I did my commute. The problem is, I can&#8217;t buy them in Cape, so I always seem to end up buying two. That&#8217;s my second mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Shockers destroy my tongue. Everything is basically okay for one tube, but a few pieces into tube number 2? Your tongue just becomes useless for the rest of the day. It becomes hyper-sensitive, and it&#8217;s frustrating to eat anything after that point.<br \/>\nI always intend to have one now, and one later when I buy more than one. That&#8217;s always my intention. But I have been having fucking horrible cravings lately. It&#8217;s frustrating, but I haven&#8217;t really experienced it before. I am just overwhelmed with a need for something sweet every so often, and when my body finally gets some sweet, it wants all of it. So, of course, I bust open the second tube and then I am in agony for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be honest: this is about the stupidest problem a person could have. I really need to just quit buying Shockers, now that I know where to find them. But I keep doing it every time I go to St. Louis. Time flows like a river, and history repeats. No, wait, that&#8217;s the Mana Fortress. Well, something like that. I&#8217;m an idiot when it comes to buying candy. That&#8217;s all there is to it.<br \/>\nAnd now I imagined what a movie-theater box of Shockers would be like. Gods, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to eat for a week if I came into possession of something like that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me tell you about Shockers.
