Boy, they are making the bite-sized candy bars smaller and smaller every so often. I hate to show my age but the "miniatures" that were available when I was a kid in the 70's were about as big as some of the regular bars of today. Sad. I would like to have some of those but I had gastric bypass surgery to lose weight (almost 200 pounds thus far lost) two years ago and I've avoided sugars since then with very few exceptions. If I consume too much sugar, I will get a case of "dumping syndrome" which suffice to say is quite unpleasant. This is something all gastric bypass patients will get from time to time from eating too much, eating too fast, consuming too much sugars or carbs, and sometimes from foods that just don't sit well. It's not life threatening and usually lasts only about 20 minutes, but it's no fun.
BTW, there is a store here in Tallahassee that stocks some hard-to-find imported candy mostly from Great Britain, Belgium and Japan and another little store just up the road in Havana, Florida (an antique shop mecca if you’re ever in the area) that sells British foods including plenty of candy. And there are several Oriental markets in the area with plenty of Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese candies.
I've got my PhotoHunt entry up at http://www.anniemayhem.com/cgi-bin/wordpress/ in case you're interested. If you do visit, please leave a comment and feel free to explore the rest of my little blog.
YUMMY!
great catch for today's theme, mine's up too hope you can drop by...
I'll take the chocolate...preferably the Baby Ruths! :)
love skittles, those look like mini chocolate bars at the bottom, the smaller sizes are less tempting but somehow always makes you eat more
thanks for the visit.
Yes, those chocolates are bite-size versions.
The Skittles are "Fun Size" bags as well ... but I've always wondered what was so "fun" about tiny bags with not enough candy!
Bag it up, who cares about a box. I'll take mine to go. You can see my Canadian candy offering by clicking here. – Margy

The candies look so tempting. I love Butterfingers as I love to chew the nutty flavor.
Thanks for visiting mine.
Shoes? Maybe I need to start participating.
