On the topic of things that I enjoy to eat, I'd like to say that I really like chocolate-covered gummi bears. I was wondering why this was the case, and I finally realized one of the important reasons the other day. I think people have different cravings for different types of foods. For myself, when I want to eat sweets (most notably candy), I have one of two types of cravings. Either I want to eat something "fruity" or I want to eat something "creamy" (for lack of a better word). "Fruity" basically means what it means (e.g. Starburst and Skittles are fruity). When I say "creamy," I mean to say something that has a milk base like chocolate, caramel, or vanilla. Usually, I have a hard time deciding whether to go with fruity or creamy candy. What chocolate-covered gummi bears do is reconcile two opposite cravings for the purpose of satisfying my sweet tooth. And that is why I love chocolate-covered gummi bears.
