(9,268 posts)30. A sad story about Milk Duds
Another one of my favorites.
Couple days after Halloween I'm watching my grandkids and eyeballing the contents of their overflowing goodie bags. The 2-year-old must have had at least TEN of those little boxes of Milk Duds...he's not going to miss them, right? A delightful snack while watching the election results in a few days! So I stuffed them in my purse. Tuesday night started bad and of course kept getting worse. Forgot all about my snack.
Couple days later, done crying, found the Milk Duds in my purse. A reminder of how quickly things change. Ate them anyway.

Atomic Fireballs. Also, those fudge-striped shortbread cookies from the Dollar Tree.

Real black licorice. It is hard to find in the US. My daughter in law always brings me a stash
