The sour candy that gave me cat tongue disease
Yesterday at work, I pulled a bag of
Jolly Rancher Chewy Screaming Sour Candy from the bottom drawer of my desk. I just needed a little burst of flavor to make the day go by faster. Once I started eating them, I couldn’t stop, I was addicted. I have two weaknesses: chocolate and sour candy. Work is always better with either a chocolate or sour candy fix. After I had eaten a big handful of those sour candies I wrote about my strange sour addiction to a friend.
“I’m eating these chewy sour Jolly Rancher candies that are all stuck together and pulling them out of the bag makes me feel like the girl on the school bus at the end of
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, who pulls gummy bears out of her pocket and they have lint on them.”
“Ewwwww…” He wrote back.
“They’re so sour they’re making my forehead hot!” I explained further.
“You’re weird.” He responded.
“No I’m not!” I argued popping another screaming sour candy into my mouth.
I ate half a bag of those sour candies while working on an annual performance review I was writing for one of my employees. I just couldn’t help myself.
“I think I’ve destroyed my taste buds on my tongue with this sour candy.” I later wrote to my friend.
“Oh my God! You’re still eating the sour candy?” He wrote back shocked.
I didn’t tell him today that I ate more handfuls of those screaming sour candies. He would have really thought I was nuts!
My tongue feels very strange… I think I have cat tongue disease! You know what a cat tongue feels like… its dry, there’s no saliva, it’s very bumpy and gritty. Oh God! I hope that having a cat tongue doesn’t mean that I’m turning into one of my neighbor’s
annoying cats!
I hope my cat tongue can last the rest of the week or at least until the Jolly Rancher Chewy Screaming Sour Candy is all gone.
