Candy Bars Everywhere
By
Reno Litterio |
After all these years,
without a reasonable doubt, I definitely and unequivocally
possess a very active sweet tooth. This sweet tooth craving
is exacerbated whenever passing an open display of candy
bars and other delectable sweets.
Usually I don’t give in to the momentary impulse; my mind
set shifts to the word “discipline,” which I call on
frequently through the course of my active day schedule. You
should try that also.
There is one place, which I frequent almost daily, that
displays, at least six or seven shelves high and about ten
feet long, all kinds of candy bars, health bars, and other
sweets. The display hits you right in the face as you enter.
What amazes me are some of the names given to new bars and
the more familiar ones. Can you imagine sinking your sweet
tooth into one of these candy bars? I’m sure you have a
favorite.
