Candy Fanatic

Is candy food? It is a question that so many people ask. I mean, we put it in our mouth, chew it, taste it, swallow it and digest it so I would say it is a food. Others contradict this saying it isn’t a good source of energy or protein or you couldn’t live off candy but really, there isn’t just one kind of food you can live with forever either. So I believe that candy is a food, not a substantial food, but it is still food. And it’s good food too! The vast numbers of different flavors and shapes and colors of candy’s out there is incredible. Every flavor you could ever think of is out there, whether it’s a fruity taste like watermelon or a drinking taste like root beer, there’s always a candy that can perfectly fit your mood or desire.

Candy is a universal food, everyone knows what it is, and everyone has it. Even my essay writing teacher passes out some variety of candy from time to time. Also, there are many different categories of candy such as lollipops, jellybeans, chocolate bars, gummies, hard candy and so much more. The reason candy is such a fantastic food is, it fills you up if you’re on the run and if you’re absolutely bored on an airplane or in a long car ride, candy can fill the boredom. First of all, you’re chewing something yummy and delicious which is always a plus and candy makes you think about things you never would’ve thought about before. For example, when I chew something like skittles, all I think about is how chewy the next skittle is going to be and I try to picture the rainbow and have some funny thing like everything I touch turns into skittles (since that is how they advertise skittles in commercials). It is quite entertaining. Lastly, the best reason is that you can keep eating candy for as long as you feel like it since (it depends on what candy you choose) candy barely has any calories in it so you don’t have to worry if the calorie amount affects your diet. There really aren’t many negatives I can find about candy except that it might rot your teeth, but you can always just brush your teeth.

The best holidays for candy are definitely Halloween and Easter. For Halloween, you can get boatloads of candy by just putting a simple costume on and going door to door asking for candy. It is so simple and so worth the candy. Also, Easter always had the eggs filled with candy that you have to go out and search for, which is a little like Halloween where you have to go on a hunt like you have to go door to door. However, at times like Halloween or Easter, you can’t choose candy’s that you like and I usually get like mini snickers or milky way during Halloween. I hate the fake chocolaty taste of those candies which is why I tend to go more for the fruity candies like sour patch watermelon but my two absolute favorite of all time candies are Mike & Ikes and starburst jellybeans. The fruitiness of each kind is so different yet so delectable at the same time and the small shapes are easy to chew and fun to chew! The starburst jellybeans are more tangy with a slight more sourness to them while the Mike & Ikes have a very non-sour all fruit taste. There are so many more out there I like so there is definitely a candy out there for you!
