The biggest tease

I love how debate camp involves being in classrooms all day listening to lectures and researching. Anticipating this lack of excitement, I decided to stock up on different types of gum and candy to keep me busy during labs.

I got a flavor of orbitz that I hadn't had before called "cool mint." Which, I guess was pretty cool.

I packed some tictacs because I need a hard candy interlude sometimes.

I packed the usual, which is the orange orbitz gum.

And, then on a $0.92 spending spree, I decided to purchase some skittles gum. Skittles are one of my favorite candies, so I thought the gum would be exciting and new. It was both of those things. They are a little bigger than skittles and when you pop a few in your mouth, it definetely tastes EXACTLY like a skittle. But then your brain tries to do its natural reflex of swallowing.

Gasp. Cough. Eck. Forgot and choked down set #1 of the skittles gum. Two hours later, I am now consciously aware not to swallow the gum and I begin to chew again. I tell you, the urge to swallow them is crazy. But I work through it and keep chewing the hard candy shell away. That goes away and you are left with just the xanthum and red dye #1. Yick. I guess I'll just stick with the skittles next time.
