I ventured out to the grocery store tonight in search of a single bag of Sour Patch Kids to pair with a couple of videos. Twenty minutes later, I found myself questioning my maturity level as I used the self-check-out to purchase eight bags of Sour Patch Kids, two bags of Sweedish Fish, three boxes of Zours, two boxes of Mike and Ike's, a case of Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, a bag of Spicy Nacho Doritos, a magnum bottle of Cabarnet and a six-pack of IPA.

Hey, what can I say? I'm a sucker for a sale...especially a sale on candy.
I threw my haul into two plastic bags and was heading out to my car, contemplating my middle-school diet, when I was stopped by two college girls conducting a survey for a market research course. As I answered their questions about my age, (lack of) occupation and grocery preferences, it occurred to me that the bags I was holding, containing my mountain of sour candy and junk food, were see through and not exactly befitting the diet of a 30-year old.
I told them to keep warm and walked to my car, feeling about 10% embarrassed. Thankfully, the 90% of me that was drooling over my purchases beat the sh*t out of the embarrassed 10% in a sugar-induced frenzy.
