Honestly, I hate having greasy hands, and using greasy hands to handle something is even worse. I can't really understand people that would eat and type and spread all that crap all over their keyboard. Also, trying to use WASD when the keys are greasy is not exactly enhancing to one's dexterity in a game. I usually keep a bottle of alcohol near my desk so I can degrease keys, mice, my hands, whatever.
The worst part about it is I came over to show him something and I started typing on his keyboard. Then, I felt my fingers sinking in this pie-like crust of built-up Cheeto cheese. I don't think this guy cleaned his keyboard often. I mean every key was gross. It was a layer and I could tell it wasn't all fresh. If I'm eating Cheetos, then I'm not typing without cleaning my fingers off. Screw that.
I do admit to sometimes buying a family size bag of Skittles on multiple grocery shopping trip occasions and going to town on those little bad boys. They are lucky if they last four days. You can't have just one and you can't stop at just five. I tried the sour ones on one occasion and those seemed to be even worse for you than the regular ones because they had a coating of that sour-sugar mixture. My mouth is watering even now. Skittles bad! I think we all have an occasional sweet tooth that we must satisfy. But, soda is not the way. Cutting out any type of candy or ice cream is harder. Moderation is key. When I'm weight lifting and running, I do tend to eat more candy than normal because it's also fuel and I'm more hungry.
Back in Scouts, the trading post at summer camp sold Warheads, so we'd always get them and then try to see how many we could eat without wincing. It gets harder as they literally start to eat a hole in your tongue after a while. Sour Skittles do the same thing, except it's just around the whole mouth. And you get the jagged sugar crystals eroding your mouth while the citric acid corrodes it. But damn, they're good. I love sour things. They do have a clear stopping point, though. In general, I'm a person that likes Skittles, Now-and-Laters, Starburst, Sour Patch Kids, etc. as opposed to chocolate candy, and I feel like I'm in the minority on this. I don't eat much candy at all, though, anymore. Growing up grew my wisdom about such things while also killing my sweet tooth. I do get cravings at times, though. Oh, another one I almost forgot: Tootsie Rolls. I can just pound Tootsie Rolls down like nobody's business. I think I was the rare kid that liked getting them in his Halloween candy.
You’re an inspiration. I’m a Diet Coke addict. I don’t even know why. I’m not overweight. Not even close. I’ve gone up and down about 3 pounds for the last thirty years. Drives my friends crazy who are constantly trying to lose weight. So why on earth do I drink Diet Coke? Beats me. Thank god for recycling, because over the last ten years I could have created my own hill in a landfill. I used to drink those 6 ounce Cokes in the glass bottles that came in a wooden case. They’d hold 24 bottles. You could buy one out of a Coke machine, which were everywhere, for a nickel. You gave whoever was running the place that had the machine 2 cents for the bottle, at least if they were around. I still remember when the price went up to 6 cents sometime during the ‘50’s. I’d always have some pennies in my pocket. That’s back when nickels and pennies were worth something. Now I have jars of them. The whole Coke thing is Dad’s fault. My late father went through at least a 6 pack a day. First thing Dad had in the morning was a 6 ounce Coke in a glass bottle. He hated coffee. Something about drinking ungodly amounts of coffee while in the Navy during World War Two made the thought of it turn his stomach. So he had a Coke. He also hated fish because of the War, but that’s another story. Anyway, you’re an inspiration, @Surfguy. Maybe I’ll think about quitting the damn things. Thanks.
