concentration

well, to begin with, today was st. nick's day. if you are unfamiliar with that german tradition, i'll fill you in. see apparently on the night of december 5th, st. nick comes to visit the little children (of german descent, of course), the children leave out a shoe or a sock, and st. nick fills it with candy or perhaps a small gift. i dunno, it's something my family has done ever since i was a kid. i'd assume (since my mom's side is pretty german) that it started a long time ago with my family. so, i got a package in the mail today from st. nick because i don't live at home anymore. i would put a picture of what i got up here, but my camera battery charger is MIA and the battery is dying. so i'll just tell you what i got. i got chocolate chip cookies, holiday m & m's, twizzler bites (which will be discussed later in this blog), and the book through painted deserts by donald miller.


so twizzler bites are probably one of the most amazing candies ever. i was having a discussion back around halloween with hopping about twizzlers because he had bought the small ones to give out to kids. we were trying to decide why the smaller ones seemed to taste better than what we remembered the big ones tasted like. here's what we decided. we feel that the twizzler coorporation must use the same amount of flavoring on all it's candies, thus making the smaller ones more concentrated with flavor, and in turn tasting better. therefore the bites must be the best tasting twizzlers on the market (which i had already decided anyways, but now i have a theory as to why).
