My day is ruined

ilikebirds by ilikebirds · Jun 14, 2002 · 217 views · Journal

So all this fruit snack talk got me excited. And realized i'm OUT. OH NO. So i took a break from work and thought to myself the trustworth SHOPRITE or CVS (Chris Vermil Stores)

Anyway I decided CVS, it was closer and I like the red sign. SO i go in ...and to my dismay.. NO FRUIT SNACKS. argh. So I kicked the little horse thing by the Aisle...and decided to cute my losses and buy a pack of HI-C GUMMY FRUITS. Not a true fruit snack but High in vitamin C , gummy, and when you shine light on them they look like a little gem.

Anyhow I get into the car and on my way back to work... I starting chomping on them. And i took the orange slice one and placed it on my toungue trying to roll it down.. but I hit bump and It fell out of my mouth into the seat and behind me. How upseting. Now i'm back at work. With half the bag gone. And a whole document to write.

None of those fruit snacks are TRUE "fruit snacks" but are great. I try to stay away from the Farleys brand and stick with Betty Crocker snacks. I ultimatly prefer Fruit Roll Ups, but the fruit snacks are great also. Do they still make Gushers?

ilikebirds #1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

fruit roll ups are good.. but when i'm looking to bit into gooeyness it's just not the right feeling.

what about Twizzlers?? I mean, they are not fruit snacks at all.. but they make your mouth happy, and you can get them usually in vending machines.... don't you have those at your place of slavery? I mean work?

ilikebirds #2.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea but i have twizzlers everyday.. and i love them.. but i wanted to spice up my mouth once in awhile. sometimes it want's to be hot not happy.

delliott101 #2.2 delliott101OG 2002

Twizzlers are awesome when I want a red licorice fix quickly.... sometimes I don't ever break them into the individual twists... I eat 'em like a bar. The ultimate, though, next to red laces are Delfa Rolls!

highschool #2.2.1 highschoolOG 2002

whoah!! I NEVER thought of that!! and i just ate a packet ... separating them.. oh man.. next time - i'm eatin em like a bar

delliott101 #2.2.1.1 delliott101OG 2002

It's quite an experience since you get all that mouth watering Twizzler action on a big concentration... makes your mouth ecstatic!

highschool highschoolOG 2002

AAHHH now i'm going CRAZZZZY cos i missed out!! oh man.... should i buy more??? ehhh that might be too much twizzin in one day

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Actually, I find I have to be in the right mood for that method of Twizzler chewin'.. but Delfa Rolls I am always in the mood for, problem is I can hardly ever find them...

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

The best is getting strawberry vodka and using that twizzler as a straw.. and then hold the liqour in there and freeze it a little bit...not to much.. and munch away. oh umm

i've umm never tried it so i wouldn't know if it's good.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

I thought you weren't legal yet... hmmm? Besides, I don't care much for flavored vodka.. I like my good old Stolichniya... think I'll make a martini tonight... shaken, not stirred...

iwz iwz

drinking milk through a twizzler is just as good, and much more legal for a under-ager

highschool highschoolOG 2002

yeah what are they. is that something that only 36 year olds know about? §

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea never heard of them. i'd never try it though.. sounds too much like ELF ROLLS.. and i dont knwo about you .. but elves are a little too happy for my taste

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Actually elven folk are merry but they have a deep sadness to their eyes.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK!!! Yesh! Delfa Rolls are like these 1/2 inch wide red licorice ribbons. They are somewhat stiff, but flexible, like a dull vinyl belt. They aren't as sweet as Twizzlers, and taste more strawberry. They come 5 rolls to a pack. I usually unroll them to their one foot lenghth and chew on them, or if I need that extra boost, pop an rolled up roll in my mouth and let it melt... I gotta find me some!!!

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

hmmm... non twizzler.. but like twizzler like stuff is not trustable by me. I only eat the twizzler . however the NIBLETS.. those i've been known to dabble with.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ilikebirds

Trust me, I'm a black and red licorice fanatic... Twizzlers are like McDonalds... Delfa Rolls (which are imported) are like Tavern on the Green..

BUT.. the ultimate candy that we don't have here are jelly babies! I love 'em!

Dave has been known to carry licorice in his car...lol

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 legs

My point has been proven... thanks Mandy!!!!

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 legs

is that to trick for all the little people to hop in his car... You evil man.

Never take candy from strangers is what you should be promoting.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 ilikebirds

I may be strange, but not a stranger... bribery is the only way I can make friends...

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

maybe its something that 25 yr olds DONT know about...haha

iwz iwz

i must be too american or something, cause delfa rolls taste like that crap cheap licorice you buy that looks so good buy tastes like plastic. twizzlers kick delfa roll's butt. sorry, dave

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

i dont really care for twizzlers all that much. they taste like plastic

iwz #2.2.2 iwz

i do that too man! gotta love eating twizzlers like that

malibu #3 malibuOG 2001

i love gushers! i remember when i was little and i always thought when i ate one my head would turn to that fruit shape so i would never eat them when i was in a bad mood because the kids smiles were so huge but i would always eat the strawberry ones

ilikebirds #3.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

gushers are good. especially after they came out with the wild flavors. soo good

delliott101 #3.2 delliott101OG 2002

Oh yeah... now I remember.. they DO still make them...

Twizzlers are one of the all-time best snacks ever! so are gushers!! so good...

I get the twizzlers at work all the time, but sometimes when you buy them they are too soft so you have to leave them out, so they start hardening before their good...

I just wasted 10 minutes reading all this nonsense on fruit snacks i figured I better comment

delliott101 #5 delliott101OG 2002

Thanks to Ty and this journal, I had to buy 2 boxes of Fruit Roll Ups and 2 boxes of Gushers at the store today... ooooh so good!

ilikebirds #5.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

OH NICE, i'm making the world a better place...

delliott101 #5.1.1 delliott101OG 2002

ilikebirds #5.1.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

highschool highschoolOG 2002

LOL.................................(had to make it 15 characters)

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

the fact that the grasshopper dies every year due to his lazyness is not cause for laughter. you should be ashamed of yourself.

iwz #5.2 iwz

nice! right now I have a box of Hawaiian Punch Gushers, and mikayla loves fruit roll-ups, so we bought a BIG box of them at Sam's Club. Like 50 in the box or something crazy.

thefunkyfresh #5.2.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

THATS INSANE!!!!!!

rocksupastar #5.2.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

no, YOU'RE insane!

ilikebirds #5.2.2 ilikebirdsOG 2002

man... i'm totally making the world a better place... fruit snack companies need to hire me so that i can promote for them. geez.

iwz #5.2.2.1 iwz

fyi, you in no way influenced the purchase of said "fruit snacks"

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002

Yea i did dont lie. anyway i hate you all. because after my meeting last night i stopped at the local walgreens and bought some gushers.. a box of 6 for 2.97. Not the great deal you all got. I got ripped of. i have to report to the UFSF
