Dear Mr. Candy Man

Well... today was full of homework homework homework so I had no deep thoughts  whatsoever aside from  I can't wait until finals are done!  So,   I decided to lighten the air at the end of my night I'm going to see a movie, but, before I do I'm going to leave you with a repost of a funny I wrote based off a real life traumatic experience I had just before thanksgiving.  :) I hope you enjoy it.

Dear Mr. Candy man,

Please do not create such an atrocity every again! 

Today, I went into an office at school I saw what looked like seemingly average peppermints with their red and white swirls sitting in a basket, staring back at me, and calling my name.  Me and my addiction to all things refreshingly mint decided to snag a few.  Upon getting back to my vehicle and opening one I found the flavor a bit odd and confusing. I was left distraught, but it was too late! This was no mint!  This was a fruit  candy cleverly disguised as  a breath mint! WHY GOD WHY!  Now I am stuck with fruity goodness where I once craved minty freshness. 

 

When something is as  visually known  as the classic peppermint swirl candy one should never create a product that looks EXACTLY THE SAME... I have attached a photo of the remaining heathens in my hand to prove my case.  It should be viewed as grievously as identity theft is.  Essentially that is what these little candies  have done, they have taken the well known identity  of a breath mint(externally) but  will never give those  who seek them, unwittingly,  that which they desire.  

This is now on my list of things that should never be or have been. Second only David bowie in spandex on Labyrinth(which happens to be one of my favorite movies).

Sincerely, 

Your candy critic
