These:
The BLASTED part is in reference to what it will do to your tongue if you eat more than one of them. Maybe if you eat only one of them. I was checking email this morning and wondering why my tongue felt weird, and then I remembered having a few of these last night–last night–and the damage lingers on the next day, the top of my tongue does indeed feel BLASTED.
Recommended, maybe as a science experiment, but not as food.
I mean, really now.1Also, don’t judge me for the mess of cables in view. I swear I’ll go wireless one day.
I view the Cadbury creme egg as a decadent indulgence that is now forbidden, because each one would require two full 10K circuits around Burnaby Lake to burn off the calories they contain.
However, I spied a 3-pack in the store post-Easter at a discounted price I could not resist.
I had one.
It was…OK! Not particularly decadent. The surprising part is the calories per egg is only 150. I think this comes down mainly to the eggs being smaller than in days of yore. They are 40 grams each today. A cursory search of the internet suggests they may have shrunk by 7-11% in recent years. Part of it may also be that *I* was smaller when I used to eat these semi-regularly, so the eggs may have seemed bigger back then in comparison.
In any case, I’m sated now and still losing weight. Win-win!
I tried to eat some French fries fancy-style, with a fork. I won’t get greasy fingers, I thought. I’ll be civilized.
It lasted for two fries. Then I began pawing them into my mouth like a caveman.
They were good.
