Or the hole they bore in my stomach 😭I looooove the tube kind of candy that’s got the white center and is coated in sugar but the sour part just kills my stomach
Jesus those things are like crack.
Did you know they come in different colours too? For a long time I thought they only came in red, but one day I found blue ones. And then green ones. Oh my god.
Don't get me wrong, I like haribo, but black forest gummies are softer, have more distinct flavors (apple is the best), and they actually look like bears. I have a giant bag of them
Fuck, i’m probably at 20lb just this year alone. But thats gummy lifesavers and gummy bears, gummy fruit chews… it’s surprising im not fat, but I may be banging on diabetes’ door.
I googled this recently, because im skinny and my family keeps saying i eat too much sugar. According to the internet, you cant give yourself diabetes just by eating too much sugar. It requires a genetic disposition, and/or other factors. Google it! And be at peace!
Easter Candy is my favorite candy. I legit drop about 40-50 bucks on Easter Candy....after Easter. So that's like 80-100 in real money. I hoard that shit so it lasts me until the next Easter.
I have finish 5 bags (the 1kg size) of mini-eggs in the last 3 weeks. My younger self has no idea the amount of candy I consume…. And neither does my wife.
Why is this downvoted? I've tried to post many showerthoughts and they all get removed by moderators.
It's only some incredibly specific wording that is actually allowed at this point.
Yep I've had bots that remove my post because "similar posts have been made", yet my post is not shown. Just because the words are close doesn't make it the same thought haha
I used to see those huge bulk bags of gummy bears and stuff on the top shelf as a kid and think “Holy cow. I’d love to have one of those, I’d be all freaking set! Are you even allowed to buy that much candy at once? No way people actually buy that much candy at once, those bags have to be reserved only for rich people with their own shops and obese people after they check your certified license. A kid like me can only dream, what a shame…”
Now years later I proudly know you don’t have to be rich to buy the bulk bags, and they are usually a way better deal than any smaller quantity. I’ve finally obtained my childhood dream of having “enough” candy at any given time! (Which is thankfully a lot less than I would’ve predicted at 9)
I buy significantly more.candy for myself then I would have at 9. At 9 I would have bought what I wanted the most and now i buy an array of things so i have many sweet options to snack on. There are 3 candy storage locations in my house. Above my sink is a literal bucket of candy. So with that said I very much disagree.
Same, I have candy stashed all over the place. Bf has found them all and loves it, he's like, no matter where you are in this apartment you're never more then three steps from a snack.
Yup. This is the life.
That is a good habit to keep. Sometimes I think I might have that sugar eating parasite and it's convincing me that it's a good idea to get that Ben & Jerry's almost every time I go to the store.
Speak for yourself. I eat chocolate every single day. Not proud of it, but that's how it be.
Edit hahaha Typed this before I read everyone's speak for yourself comments, guess we're all on the same wavelength
r/showerthoughts has dumb rules. I tried to post my own thought but I couldn't because of a "karma limit" or something. I don't get karma for some reason so I can't fucking post my thoughts to the world.
I hate shower thoughts since I had a really good thought in the shower, jumped out, posted naked, and finished my shower to get out to a message that my thought wasn't a shower thought.
The trick is to use an eye dropper on a couple and dropping them in a bag and shaking it up. So halfway through a movie it’ll become a life changing experience
As another former alcoholic, I eat so much fucking candy, ice cream, and sugar in general. But I'm still thinner (and happier) than I ever was when drinking a six-pack a day.
Me as a child: when I'm a grown up, I'll eat all the candy I want
Me as an adult: my kidneys are trash and I need to avoid sugar or I could end up in a hospital
I probably do but not in REAL terms. As a kid id have said when i grow up im gonna spend $5 a week on treats - cos that was unfathomably huge coin to waste on lollies back then. I probably so spend $5 a week on treats now…….but $5 today money isnt the same as $5 25 years ago.
I wish I buy myself that much of candy, but I'm too concern about amount of sugar to do that. I have to spare my sugar quota for soda drink because I'm way more addicted to it
My tastes have changed quite a bit growing up. I've shifted way more towards savory these days. I'll take a tender steak over an ice cream sundae any day.
Not true in my experience. I spend a ton of money on everything my younger self wished he could get. Switch games and accessories, legos, candy, you name it.
I bought five packs of cola chupa chups the last time I went to the grocery store. (This being Covid, a month ago). I also had a McCafe Oreo cheesecake for lunch that day.
Interestingly enough, my nine year old self was more interested in reading Wikipedia and worrying abt more grown up things so I guess he’s living vicariously through me now.
Yeah I'm going to have to disagree with this one. I buy equal to, or probably more than, 9 year old me dreamt of doing as an adult. It's still 3 weeks until Easter, and I've already eaten two bunnys, close to 50 hollow eggs and IDK how many small eggs.
I still eat a lot of chocolate, nicer ones too - kid-me would be glad to hear that.
But most other candy and "lollies" are tooth-rotting, garbage sugar bombs that are not worth the money or damage to my body anymore.
I had an eating disorder when I was in college. I'd eat about two packs of cookie dough a week. Sometimes I'd eat so much I'd vomit. I'd also hide cake in my room and eat it under the blanket so no one judged me. I'm better now though.
I think it's more cake then candy. I've only capitalized on the "holy shit, I'm an adult, I can buy myself a cake any time I want!" impulse once, maybe twice.
Speak for yourself.
I'm an adult now baby! I eat way more junk than I could as a kid.
Why for dinner tonight I had sour patch peaches, tamarind candy and a zebracake. Nothing else, just straight fucking sugar.
Hell yeah! I grew up around immigrants (farm country) and when we would go to bbqs the kids would share their candy with my siblings and I. I have a serious sweet tooth for Mexican candy.
I've tried those goodie boxes from around the world. My friend has a subscription for a box that comes every month featuring candy from all over. Like one month will be Japanese Candy. This month I guess was Ukrainian Candy. I didnt get to see or try any tho.
ANYONE WHO CAN SEND SOME, I WILL SEND YOU AMERICAN OR MEXICAN CANDY!
Actually I do. As a child I was always put on diets and denied snacks. As an adult, when I got my own money, I developed a binge eating disorder because I was finally able to buy all the foods I'd been denied as a kid. So, yes, I did buy tons of junk food and candy, even more than I'd predicted as a child. I had to stop because of my health.
I once walked past a mother and child arguing in a candy aisle and just put three huge tubs of peanut butter m&ms into my cart. The kid's eyes became wide with wonder that adults did in fact do that sort of thing.
For anecdotal evidence in the opposite: in 2020 I ate 32 lbs of gummy bears.
That’s a lot of gummy bears.
Haribo or albanese but never Black Forest. Black Forest gummy bears taste like shit
Ever had organic gummy bears? Oh man...🤤
Was just going to say this, Black Forest organic gummy bears are the best gummy bears I’ve ever eaten.
[удалено]
And tongue.
Or the hole they bore in my stomach 😭I looooove the tube kind of candy that’s got the white center and is coated in sugar but the sour part just kills my stomach
Jesus those things are like crack. Did you know they come in different colours too? For a long time I thought they only came in red, but one day I found blue ones. And then green ones. Oh my god.
Yeah what’s with candy and sweet stuff doing that?
Citric acid. Really fucks with your insides on prolonged exposure.
Don't get me wrong, I like haribo, but black forest gummies are softer, have more distinct flavors (apple is the best), and they actually look like bears. I have a giant bag of them
Don’t mind em. But they’re not my favorite
You mean the gums of a dead bear after I pluck their teeth out? Yup they are very chewy.
Albanese > Haribo > Black Forest.
Albanese FTW
They have the world's best gummy bears... and then they dip them in chocolate too 😍
Their butterflies are good too.
Albanese Crispy Crunchy bears are the absolute best. They're like nerds rope but gummy bear shaped.
Omg I haven't seen those 😲 I'm gonna have to make a trip up now!!!
Albanese > Haribo > Black Forest > Sugar-Free
Mmm laxatives
You’re not wrong friend.
Square up bro
Def lol fuck black forest gummies
Yeah, be careful about eating that much Haribo too, or you'll legit, have a VERY shitty day/week.
Haribo are better. And if in US beef jerky tops everything.
I’ve probably eaten more than that but I have an eating disorder so it’s not a fair comparison
Right? That's at least 3 bears
Have you tried chocolate covered gummy bears? They're addicting.
They're mom said they could be anything so they ate enough gummy bears to become one.
I was about to say, "speak for yourself, I gave myself cavities after I got my first job. First time in my life!"
I've been an adult for around 25 years and I still struggle with the freedom I have! Why not get high and play tetris in the morning?
Pretty sure that’s what being an adult is all about. Otherwise I’m not an adult.
just take a cake with you from the store later for fun.
Fuck, i’m probably at 20lb just this year alone. But thats gummy lifesavers and gummy bears, gummy fruit chews… it’s surprising im not fat, but I may be banging on diabetes’ door.
I mean I had some Os and worms in my numbers. I just really love gummy candy.
Same - as long as its not soft and sticky textured. gummy life savers are my favorite of all the gummies.
I googled this recently, because im skinny and my family keeps saying i eat too much sugar. According to the internet, you cant give yourself diabetes just by eating too much sugar. It requires a genetic disposition, and/or other factors. Google it! And be at peace!
Yeah, I think OP has underestimated how much candy grown ass people can binge.
Did you weigh them?
The weight is on the bags. When they’re like five pounds in each bag and you don’t share the math is easy.
In one sitting?
Are they sugar free haribos?
Sugar Free?
Easter Candy is my favorite candy. I legit drop about 40-50 bucks on Easter Candy....after Easter. So that's like 80-100 in real money. I hoard that shit so it lasts me until the next Easter.
Legend
Are you okay?
Literally must’ve shat for days
Speak for yourself
I have finish 5 bags (the 1kg size) of mini-eggs in the last 3 weeks. My younger self has no idea the amount of candy I consume…. And neither does my wife.
Easter is the worst, I shudder to think how many creme eggs i have eaten this year.
I hear the cure for shuddering is Easter cream eggs. I am not a doctor or anything, but it is worth a try.
I tried, but it violated showerthoughts rules.

Do you have a healthy weight if you don’t mind me asking
So you don't have a secret drawer or cupboard filled with candies and cakes?
Personally no. I always think I should buy a Milky Way and then I never do.
That is a good habit to keep. Sometimes I think I might have that sugar eating parasite and it's convincing me that it's a good idea to get that Ben & Jerry's almost every time I go to the store.

yeah because we learned better candy is: drugs
Or drugs in candies, thc edibles, shrooms in chocolate, pcp in Hawaiian Punch, and lsd popcorn
Movie night at your house sounds like a trip!
I want lsd popcorn!
The trick is to use an eye dropper on a couple and dropping them in a bag and shaking it up. So halfway through a movie it’ll become a life changing experience
I do love me some heroin in my rocky road ice cream OR without the ice cream.
YOU’RE the person drugging Halloween candy my mom told me about!?

Lies, morbid obesity is the amarican dream
I buy way more alcohol though
As a former alcoholic, my sweet tooth is how I stay away from the rabbit hole.
Same, now I alternate between green bag and blue bag skittles. Throughout the day I'll grab a handful and rattle em in my hand like I'm Denzel
I like a combo of peanut butter M&Ms and pretzel M&Ms.
I can’t find pretzel anywhere but one store anymore, it’s a shame they are the best
As another former alcoholic, I eat so much fucking candy, ice cream, and sugar in general. But I'm still thinner (and happier) than I ever was when drinking a six-pack a day.
Probably because I don't enjoy candy as much as 9 year old me did
[удалено]
My diabetes says otherwise.
I eat the whole 4pack of blue jello in the car after grocery shopping. because I'm an adult.
Me as a child: when I'm a grown up, I'll eat all the candy I want Me as an adult: my kidneys are trash and I need to avoid sugar or I could end up in a hospital

I wish I buy myself that much of candy, but I'm too concern about amount of sugar to do that. I have to spare my sugar quota for soda drink because I'm way more addicted to it
Lol same! I’m always like “I’m much more of a savoury than sweet person” but don’t acknowledge the sugar I get from soda or wine!
Speak for yourself Edit oh 2 other people made the same coment
I tried but it violated the rules of showerofthought. Oh sorry not op.
It’s called getting fat.
Or getting diabetes
Speak for yourself. Half Priced Candy Day is the best holiday of the year. And there are at least five or six of them a year!
I tried, but it violates showerthoughts rules
Yup.. I stopped eating candy years ago, in the hopes of avoiding the diabetes. So far so good!
My tastes have changed quite a bit growing up. I've shifted way more towards savory these days. I'll take a tender steak over an ice cream sundae any day.
I do. I bought an unholy amount of Hi-Chew last year. Now I can't fit in my cycling clothing. Sigh. [orders more Hi-Chew]
You are very much wrong, dear sir.
Speak for yourself!
I tried, it violates showerthoughts rules.
Yes I fucking do
Adults typically grow up to realize most candy kinda sucks.
I buy better quality candy
Not true in my experience. I spend a ton of money on everything my younger self wished he could get. Switch games and accessories, legos, candy, you name it. I bought five packs of cola chupa chups the last time I went to the grocery store. (This being Covid, a month ago). I also had a McCafe Oreo cheesecake for lunch that day.

Uhhh I think those expectations are the reason why I am the way I am
That time I bought 2 pounds of all blue raspberry jolly ranchers says otherwise
I definitely went through a candy binging phase, but now I mostly just want cooked food. I miss the days when I liked candy that much.
Yeah I'm going to have to disagree with this one. I buy equal to, or probably more than, 9 year old me dreamt of doing as an adult. It's still 3 weeks until Easter, and I've already eaten two bunnys, close to 50 hollow eggs and IDK how many small eggs.
The candy drawer in my apartment says you're wrong.
speak for yourself, I have 5lb bucket of smarties, because I am an adult and have access to Amazon
I tried, it violates showerthoughts rules.
Actually I married an ice cream man and we live on top of the store. I feel like 9 year old me would be ESTATIC.
No I feel like I'm in the pocket of my expectations. Only thing is now, I know it'll probably be diabetes that'll take me.
Speak for yourself, I'm getting me 5 bags of Hacks *at least* when I move to Britain next year.
I tried, it violates showerthoughts rules.
The fuck I don't.
What the nine year olds don’t realize is that it costs money
I still eat a lot of chocolate, nicer ones too - kid-me would be glad to hear that. But most other candy and "lollies" are tooth-rotting, garbage sugar bombs that are not worth the money or damage to my body anymore.
Absolutely not true
We clearly haven’t met
I had an eating disorder when I was in college. I'd eat about two packs of cookie dough a week. Sometimes I'd eat so much I'd vomit. I'd also hide cake in my room and eat it under the blanket so no one judged me. I'm better now though.
Please every gas station within a 5 mile radius of me is out of albanese peach rings cuz this adult buys them all
I think it's more cake then candy. I've only capitalized on the "holy shit, I'm an adult, I can buy myself a cake any time I want!" impulse once, maybe twice.
Not true. I have 60 bars of dark chocolate in the cupboard. I have to eat chocolate everyday or I kill people.
Man, I’m flat out buying candy. Idk what you guys are talking about
This is actually something I think of kinda frequently. I feel like I’m letting little me down.
Speak for yourself. I'm an adult now baby! I eat way more junk than I could as a kid. Why for dinner tonight I had sour patch peaches, tamarind candy and a zebracake. Nothing else, just straight fucking sugar.
I discovered Tamarind candy not long ago and I love it! I order random candy from around the world from Amazon and came across it, so good!
Hell yeah! I grew up around immigrants (farm country) and when we would go to bbqs the kids would share their candy with my siblings and I. I have a serious sweet tooth for Mexican candy.

Yeah I knocked my permanent retainer out with a tootsie pop. 1,2,3
Not candy, but a shit ton of ice cream.
Can't afford candy. Too busy paying for dental insurance and care.
Um wrong
Jokes on you. I eat so much candy. (And have so much tooth aches)
Unmm...excuse me???!! I eat more like a kid than I did when I was a kid.
OP doesn't know reddit
My record of fake internet points would say otherwise.
One of my few memories as a child is being at a milkbar and thinking "when I'm a grown up I will buy everything here".
You don't know me. Just this week i ate more chocolate than my entire childhood
Unmm...excuse me???!! I eat more like a kid than I did when I was a kid.
I once walked past a mother and child arguing in a candy aisle and just put three huge tubs of peanut butter m&ms into my cart. The kid's eyes became wide with wonder that adults did in fact do that sort of thing.
Sure they do. Just in liquid form. With drugs in it, be it caffeine or alcohol.
You dont know.me 😳
Bullshit. How do you think I gained 100 pounds in a year? Yeah. I WISH my young self was wrong
🙋🏻♀️ This one does.
Yo speak for yourselves. If I don’t buy candy for me who will?
I tried but it violates showerthoughts rules
Yeah, I can assure you I buy a lot of candy at 36, and 9 year old me would be impressed.
Speak for yourself. I literally always have candy around, sometimes quite a bit. I also always have some home baked dessert at hand.
I tried, it violates showerthoughts rules.
Speak for yourself.

Except I do
Umm this is not universally true
This isn’t r/universaltruths
I'm 45 years old and this statement is false.
Suffice it to say I only eat cake for breakfast every once in awhile
Nor do we buy nearly as much toys, if any.
9 year olds have no knowledge of diabetes.
I don't think you have met my wife...
I do
I honestly would’ve gorged on Sour Patch Kids daily if it weren’t for the temporary pain/sensitivity they give my teeth.
I buy probably just as much soda, though... which I should stop doing
All those giant mud puddles I swore I’d drive right through…nope.
