My boyfriend brought me presents from his business trip.
Why are you all oranges and apples, Runts?!?! I buy you for bananas.
(Is this like Twitter? Is there a small, tiny, possible chance that the creators of this candy will actually see my complaint via the blogosphere or do I need to call them? I probably won’t call, though… I used to call customer comment lines often in high school, usually when I was bored in drama class. Sometimes I got free t-shirts. Anyway, this time, I just want banana Runts. And while I have your attention: Hey! Why can’t I buy Lik-a-Stix without the Fun Dip? Riddle me that, Internet.)
“What should I get her? Should I get her a doll? Is that what girls like?”
“I don’t know. Everyone likes different things. Give her something you like. If you like it, then she probably will too. Give her a gift from the heart.”
—from There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom by Louis Sacher
The most elusive (and personally sought-after) of all seasonal candies.
