		<description>brooke -- If you find any, let me know! It&#039;s my dream to eat candy vegetables that have no calories. Why, oh why, doesn&#039;t someone invent that?</description>

		<description>Natural -- You don&#039;t need references, but you&#039;d have to prove that you would be ruthless with my snacking. And you can&#039;t have any yourself. Cookies are out. I&#039;d kill to lose even 15lbs. Never-ending battle, I&#039;m afraid.

tfa -- &lt;i&gt;Lamb&lt;/i&gt; flavored crisps? What the? You&#039;re not allowed to send me links to your fun foods. You&#039;re allowed to ship me some, though. I think I&#039;d like those sunny side up egg candy thingies. What&#039;s in them? Marmite? You&#039;d have to pay me to eat that. I know it&#039;s an acquired taste. OK, so we agree you won&#039;t tempt me with any more sweets I can&#039;t have?

Forest Parks -- Thanks, but all my added fat is below my neck. You just can&#039;t see it in that picture. I&#039;ll check out your site. Good for you for being so careful with your eating and exercise. Wish I could say the same!</description>

		<description>Ha ha, you are hilarious. You don&#039;t strike me as an hugely overweight person from your pic.

I have a few extra pounds but eat pretty well and exercise a lot. I&#039;m more worried about keeping my heart i good shape and making sure I am not obese. Obviously if I lose a few pounds on the way that is a good thing.

I have also just started a new blog centered around health and nutrition. It is going to be aimed at making me some money but will have quality content so come on by and let me know what you think.

I wish I could come and take the job. Sounds fun.

		<description>though this seems a better site, as they have seemingly evening to give you the tradional gummy British smile

http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/index.php

the refresher bar is particularly good - it&#039;s fruit sherbet, that by it&#039;s chewiness was originally devloped to seal windows I belive. Also fruit salads are worth a go - though younhave to but them with Black Jacks for authenticity - though I doubt you can buy 8 for a penny as I used to as a kid - but then I doubt it is possible to by an 8p Mars bar now.

Oh and I see they sell Caramac - mmmmmmmmmm caramac.

I&#039;ll warn you though that the green one&#039;s in sports mix are disgusting since they changed the flavours - and despite the yellow pinapple ones being the finest sweet in the sweets in the world, I have stopped buying them because of this.

		<description>my teeth are pretty much British - but that is as much to down with breaking two on a walnut shell when eating coffeee and walnut cake.

Funnily enough after I wrote this, the missus truned up with a four pack of Picnics which was nice.

Oh and I just rememebered that the in additon the to chilli crisps, they also make lamb and mint flavour which are pretty spectacular as well.

		<description>This sounds like a job for me, I&#039;m putting in my resignation tomorrow. Do you need references?

&quot;Occasionally talk to you, but we don’t have to speak if you don’t want. You can bring reading material if you like, or I’ll give you a laptop and you can watch a movie or surf the web. Popcorn and candy obviously prohibited.&quot; 

What about cookies?  I&#039;ll make sure you don&#039;t get a crumb.  I&#039;ll even bring you 8 glasses of water. How much does it pay?  You have a cool job...imaging computers all day, is that the same thing as mirror.  Anywho, I have the same weight loss problem..I can&#039;t stay away from sweets.  I can&#039;t even lose 15lbs...been trying since February.  Just keep trying until you find something that works.

My office keeps sweets around several times a week. I say they are fattening us up for the slaughter.

		<description>robert bourne -- I have a weakness for most anything white cheddar-flavored. But Cheez-its are the best. I try not to buy them because I can eat a whole box myself.

tfa -- What are you trying to do to me?! I was better off not knowing about goodies I can&#039;t get my hands on! Of the sweets you described, the Lion bar sounds the best. I&#039;m partial to salt &amp; vinegar chips myself. Whoa! Thai Chili? Sounds like it&#039;ll burn your face right off or at least make your eyes water. So. The question is &quot;How bad are &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; teeth?&quot;

Carla -- That&#039;s funny. I was considering setting up a web cam for the plastic bag in the tree, but I don&#039;t have a secure location for the cam. A cam for me? Not unless I lose 50lbs first. Don&#039;t count on it!

Jaffer -- I would probably wind up turning all the pictures around. I&#039;m at a point where I need a real live person to stare at me. What are you doing next week, Jaffer?

Lori -- I &lt;i&gt;knew&lt;/i&gt; you&#039;d be an enabler!

darla -- Funny, I just had tortilla chips and salsa last weekend after a long streak of not buying them. I ate half the bag and realized I needed to throw it all out. I&#039;m a big food thrower-outer. It was great while it lasted!</description>

		<description>Oh Kathy, it wouldn&#039;t do you (or me, for that matter!)any good if I was your food gardian angel. Because I&#039;d have to bring snacks.... tostitos and picante sauce is my drug of choice, but I also love cheese! I always say, you can put cheese on dog poo and I&#039;d probably eat it! Yes, I&#039;m that bad... sad isn&#039;t it?

		<description>How about a web cam? You will need to turn it on though, and point it at yourself AND put it on your blog....all the time.
I&#039;m just sayin...

		<description>It&#039;s lucky you don&#039;t live in the UK - because the sweets here are much better than in the US.

Let&#039;s see, you could have, wine gums (Lion brand are the best), sports mix, chocolate limes, everton mints, humbugs, rhubarb and custards, cola cubes, bonbons (I like the lemon ones), the other bonbons with the jam in the middle, chocolate caramels (sadly they don&#039;t make Merry Maids anymore), liquorice toffee, American hard gums, to name but a few of the loose sweets.

I&#039;m not a great one for chocolate, but a Lion bar is lush - it&#039;s a wafer biscuit with toffee and nuts, covered in chocolate - though a good substitute is a Picnic, which basically the same but it also has raisins in it.

Also a Fry&#039;s chocolate creme hits the spot - peppermint fondant covered with dark chocolate - though they did used to make one with fruit flavoured fondants, that was like a box of chocolates in a single bar.

Is it any wonder the British are famed for their bad teeth.

Oh and the crisps are pretty good too (you&#039;d call them chips) - you have the standard flavours ready salted, salt and vinegar, cheese and onion, smoky bacon etc - but I am very partial to the Thai Chilli flavour.

As well as to a Wotsit sandwich - Wotsits being cheese puffs.

Oh and of course when in a pub buying a packet of crisps, you should never misss an opportunity to ask for a packet of helicopter crisps - when they say they don&#039;t sell helicopter crisps, you reply, I&#039;ll have plain then - plain being ready salted.

Just to point out, I have an American friend who came to stay. I had raved about wine gums to her for months, saying that they are the best sweets ever invented and that there is nothing in America to compare - of course she wouldn&#039;t believe me - well not until she trying some - now she begs me to send her packets of them, though I think see found a place on line that can satisfy her her craving now.
