Putting away childish things

I think I really am getting old after all. During my childhood, my favorite types of candy were definitely the fruity, super-sucrosy candies. Skittles, Starbursts, the sugarier, the better. Chocolate? Too heavy, too many additives. Bring on the artificial fruit flavors, please. Lately, I've been laying off them, but mostly because of the caloric cost. Today I threw good behavior to the wind so I could try the new smoothie-flavored Skittles. Ten years ago, probably would have loved them. Today? Bleccch. It's been an hour now and I still feel icky. So this'll probably be the end of that relationship. From now on, berries and other fruits that satisfy my sweet without putting me in insulin overload.
