sugar on a stick

...Yesterday, Rhett received some Fun Dip in his Valentine's sack. He tried some and instantly loved it. (Who wouldn't love a packetful of pure sugar?)

Of course, Noah wanted some too. Because I, too, just love the stuff that probably was the sole cause of my mouthful of cavities when I was younger (hey, I had to have something to do while watching my brother play Little League--this stuff lasted the whole game!) I told Noah that I would find him some the next day. This is Noah's expression after I said that:

So I did. I found some and since it was on sale, I bought a few packets. I am going to hide them so we (yes, I said we) can have a treat every once in awhile. I don't remember the original flavors but they have tried to jazz it up: RazzApple Magic Dip, Cherry-Yum Diddly Dip and Grape-Yumptious Dip. It makes me laugh because I really don't think it matters if it has a "cool" name. It is candy. Kids are gonna want it, right? Happy to report though, they didn't change the name or taste of the stick: Lik-A-Stix. Takes me back to those days sitting on the bleachers, hanging with my friends, scratching at mosquitos. Good times...

Mm, I love Fun Dip. Hey, at least it's low-fat!

My seven year old got some fun dip too, and dove into it as soon as she got home.

I give the girls a gift bag with treats every year. This year it included them each a Valentine's mug for hot chocolate, a litte figurine to add to their collections, and mini Toblerones. One of my friends got me to try those over the summer informing me I was missing out. Well I'm now hooked on them as well as my oldest daughter. When she discovered them in her bag she went estactic. My two litte drama queens! :)

Our manager gave us all Fun Dip for Valentine's too. And I felt no shame licking my Lik a Stix at my desk while reviewing medical claims. :)
Mine was the RazzApple Magic, and although quite yummy, I forgot how it can tear up the roof of your mouth. Maybe as an adult we lose the ability to eat candy with abandon- my teeth are sensitive and my I was put off by the blue tongue later.
Oh well. Enjoy yours!
