16oz Reeses Santa Claus

You have a look at this full pound of Reeses goodness and think ‘that is going to hurt me so good’. It won’t, it will hurt, but not so good. In truth the peanut butter is dry and the whole thing is something like fifteen servings of a hundred and fifty calories each. It looks even bigger with the box being made of mostly air and the candy being smaller when you have it out and in the open.

I have a slice or two of this with coffee every night before I get out to work and never do I say ‘well, I’d like another of those’. This is a lot of candy that isn’t all that great and would make a child very sick if you gave it to them as a gift. 

It's big, it's okay, it's not worth buying. 

 

Coca Cola (American)

It’s said that before Coca Cola Santa Claus was a gaunt and brooding figure. Then Coke came along, and he turned into a jolly fat man.

Given how Coke made me into a fat man I think it’s safe to say this is a reasonable representation of the product.  Further, American Coke is harder on your liver because of the use of high fructose corn syrup.

This addictive death juice will never tell your body that you’re done, because fructose almost never comes about in nature without sucrose. We humans have evolved to key off sucrose to tell us to stop eating.

I’d say ‘drink water’ but then drinking water is often dangerous. Drink clean water whenever you can, and stay clear of Coke and other soft drinks most of the time.

Coke is the standard for which all soda pop can be judged, and my judgment is to enjoy in moderation else you look like me. I, by the way, look like Santa.

Now, I need to get me some Ho, ho, ho’s.
