That's right, those paper tubes of colored sugar you probably haven't had since junior high. They are in the giant bowl of yet uneaten Halloween candy.
Commercial break on TBL. I get up to throw away Pixy wrappers. There are five. Somehow in less than 30 minutes, unbeknownst to my own consciousness--even while watching a show about people losing weight-- I consumed like 70,000 calories in dyed sugar. This rivals the time I picked out all the cookie dough from a pint of cookie dough ice cream while also watching an episode of TBL.
Something about this show puts me in an eating trance, apparently. I think it's a conspiracy. I think the show is sending out subliminal "eat junk food" messages so that the viewing public will gain weight; ergo, they'll need to go on the show themselves, or buy all the gear and work out videos from the TBL franchise at the very least. I'm on to you, TBL. I intend to write a strongly worded letter or something. After I finish this mini Snickers.
PS- Did you ever notice orange pixy stix taste just like Tang? I think it might actually be the same stuff. No wonder astronauts bounce off the walls.
PPS- Can we talk about the fact that you can buy this T-shirt online?
I heart that they spelled out heart instead of using an actual heart.There are a few color choices; this one is called, seriously, "Celestial White."
I heart that, too.

I heart Pixy Stix! I put that as one of the juevenile candy's I still often enjoy on one of your "Five" installments a while back. Pixy Stix and Fun Dips are where it's at.
where do you get that shirt online? too funny. but not as funny as you.
Laurel - Please don't think I'm crazy, but I don't know how else to contact you...and I wanted you to know that I know you're out there now...and I LOVE IT. I found you through Katie's blog.
Um, in case you need a reminder, I will give this clue: Glenhood.
So fun to read your blog from time to time! If you haven't already, you can check mine out through Katie's. Yknow..if you believe in blogger-stalking. Which I totally do. In case that wasn't already apparent.
That shirt is too funny. And yes, I always thought Tang tasted just like the orange pixy stix--I tried it (Tang) for the first time at a friend's house as a teen and it brought back sweet childhood memories of my favorite treat from our neighborhood ice cream man.
pleasepleaseplease tell me you now own that shirt.
too funny....don't worry that I just finished a bag of mini snickers that are constantly in my fridge.
You still have Halloween candy?! I plowed through ours long ago...
The shirt is great, who comes up with these things?
TBL also gives me crazy food cravings. I think it is because I feel particularly smug watching people 100 pounds heavier than me struggle with food. Usually, I am up against the anorexic crowd in NYC which leaves me paniced that string cheese is too fattening.
