Does Anyone Eat the Bananas?

Banana Runts

So, my coworker has a Sam's membership and, while typically I fully believe that Costco is the best warehouse store ever, Sam's is the one that can boasts of having 5lb bags of Runts candies for less than six dollars.

That's right. A Five Pound Bag of Runts. Five Pounds. Five. FIVE!

It's a big bag. Seriously. Full, it is bigger than about half of our cats. (Apparently the cats are denser because they still weight more).

My coworker, being cool like that, bought me a bag.

I've had so much sugar the past few days that my teeth ache.

But it does make me wonder: does anyone eat the banana Runts? I mean, they keep swapping out flavors (this bag has neither of the "new" flavors of blueberry or mango (and no cherry - what's up with that?! And now the strawberry is red instead of pink) and has added grape (awesome) and green apple (give me back my watermelon)) but they never seem to swap out the banana. Are they under the mistaken impression that there are is a large group of people out there that love the banana ones?

Because I'm thinking there isn't. I mean, Dan'll eat almost anything and even he won't eat the bananas.

My perfect bag of Runts would contain the following: red (cherry), pink (strawberry), orange (uhm, orange), green (watermelon), blue (raspberry), and purple (grape).

Though I could not eat that perfect bag currently because my teeth ache.

And I've barely made a dent in my five pounds.

Oh yeah.
