I'm doomed.

1. Robin's eggs

24. I think it's the candy shell...
I always pick 'em out of the kids' baskets. And buy extra when I'm shopping for basket-stuff.

7. Why are the Reese's Eggs even better than
the cups? I mean...they're the same thing, just shaped differently. And more expensive (a LOT more expensive)...but somehow they're better.

I love 'em.

25. I think there is more of the peanut butter part
I only allow myself one or two every year. It's tough, but I have to. :)

4. Hershey's Candy Coated Chocolate Eggs
So good. So hard to eat just one or two. Half the bag sounds much more satisfying. I think I'm also doomed.

10. Microwave 'em?
That's one I've never heard of. I always put 'em in the kids' baskets, but no one ever eats 'em.

20. You're sicker than I am, dude.
Never thought of nuking them. Love those little bastids. I get all warm inside when I see them lined up on the shelves at The Family Dollar Store.

18. You should try one.
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 09:36 AM by Bassic
But buy the ones that come in packs of 3. The indidual ones have a tendency to crack and dry out.


Edit: at least you should try one if you like to endulge in insane quantities of sugar once in a while. If you don't, I doubt you'll like them.

13. Any simple, good quality chocolate egg.
Caramel in the middle is a bonus.

15. The original Cadbury Cream Eggs!
Edited on Thu Mar-22-07 09:34 AM by danagsk8
As opposed to the ones filled with caramel, peanut butter, etc. I have no objection to the latter, of course, but Cadbury's yolk-and-white comes around in only one form once a year!:



(Kinda hard to see the yellow yolk in this picture....)

19. Looks good...
messy, but good. I wonder why I've never tried 'em? They're the kind of thing that I usually love...

30. There are some of them that I like...
I just can't warm up to some of the flavors, though.

But I LOOOOOOVE their licorice jelly beans.

32. I hate that buttered popcorn one.
Sometimes you pop one, thinking it's a nice fruity flavor, and then it's like ... "mold" or "peat moss" or something. x(

33. The only ones I really despise
are the mango (tastes like cat pee smells, if that can be imagined), the wild berry (tastes like perfume smells), red apple, and margarita (tastes like cheap tequila).

The best are strawberry jam, strawberry cheesecake, caramel corn, cappuccino, and kiwi. The SO and I fight over the kiwis. :)

34. Creme eggs, but I only like the filling- not the chocolate.
I'm weird like that.
:P
