We're in a spending freeze.
And I've given up all forms of junk food.
But Yesterday, as a treat, we broke both these rules in spectacular fashion.
Buy buying an enormous, a ridiculously sized SNICKERS.
This is the "Slice and Share" snickers.
Intrigued by the novelty size and the joys inherent in the old adage about bigger being necessarily better, we went ahead and purchased the sucker.
We were in CVS buying necessities, which are allowed by the rules of the spending freeze after sufficient discussion and debate.
So, whilst scouring the store for enough maximum strength midol to hold the crippling menstrual aches at bay, is it really any wonder that I lost all willpower and nodded and enthusiastic and definite YES when presented with this monster of choclatey, nugaty, caramel-peanutty goodness?
And slicing a snickers, as though it were the holiday roast of a candy high holy day? Sublime.
And aaron pointed out that snickers is one of the few candybars that seems immune to the size/ratio problem that most candy treats suffer. Giant reece's pb cup? nasty because too much peanut butter, not enough chocolate. Big Kat? (I happen to love them) not even the same thing as a regular kit kat any more!
But snickers, in classic, king, funsize or now in "Slice & Share" size-- snickers is always reliably scrumptious in any size!
Today: back to spending freeze. Back to swearing off junk. But I'll always have the memory of consuming an enormous snickers with my husband-- MLK day 2012 ;)

| Little known fact: MLK dreamed about unnecessarily oversized snackfoods that could be sliced and shared among people of ALL races, nations, and creeds. |
