The Latest Brainchild Of The Candy Industry

Post by tex »

This country is really going to the dogs. Apparently the food industry thinks that all foods should be all things to all people. One of the hottest trends now, is to add caffeine and/or vitamins to candy. Yep, if your doctor tells you to quit drinking coffee, no sweat, just grab a Snickers bar and get your caffeine fix anyway. Want to boost your vitamin B intake? Once again, all you need is that Snickers bar. Need some electrolytes? Forget the Gatorade, or Pedialyte - just grab some Extreme Sport Beans, instead.

Who needs coffee, vitamins, and sports drinks, when you can be eating candy, instead? Heck, if they would just print the morning news on those Snickers bars, you wouldn't even need the morning paper. LOL.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

Well, it's not really the original Snickers bars that I'm criticizing, it's the "genetically modified" ones. LOL. Snickers used to be my favorite candy bar, before I gave 'em up, due to the casein.

So how did they cure your MC? Should we start recommending them as an alternate treatment?

Well, duh, it contains chocolate and well all know that chocolate almost cures everything. Just add some bacon and I'm sure it'll cure cancer as well. ;D
