Ritter

It's the end of semester, so I don't have time to write much of a blog post (I do, however, have ample National Geographic browsing time. Such is life).

There's a woman at the Science Faculty who sells candy (well, there's two candy ladies, but I only like one of them, even if her bubble gum is more expensive). But it's not just ordinary candy! I mean, some of it is ordinary, but she always has cool imported candy, which is why I've dubbed her Exotic Candy Lady. ECL has supplied me throughout the semester with cool stuff like a Giant Reese's Cup and a Reese's Crispy Crunch Bar, and also has things like Wonka Jelly Donutz*, Pop Rocks Chocolate Bars, SweeTarts, Ritter Sport chocolate bars (!), etc.

I never bought a Ritter Sport because I'm not exactly rolling in money over here, but today she had some mini Ritter Sports. I was really happy, because:

a) CHOC OLATE!
b) mini candy!
c) CHOCOLATE!
d) it's cheap!
e) CHOCOLATE!
f) ...chocolate!

So I bought two, and I worked it out just now: they were a better deal than a bigger bar; 22% cheaper, in fact (no, I'm not a dork for having worked that out. *Shoves glasses up nose*). Did Exotic Candy Lady steal a shipment of these or something? And if so, does she have a son I can marry?

Whatever, I'm stocking up tomorrow. If I buy them by sending my friends to fetch 'em, she'll HAVE to restock, right? Otherwise she'll know it's just me buying them all. Because as it is, she already knows that I get all excited over her candy, mainly Reese's products and chocolate (she gives me little discounts sometimes on clearance chocolate. Just another reason to like her). And I've only had the valor to eat one of my little chocs, because what if they're all gone by tomorrow?! NOOOOOOO!

*Which never appealed to me, but I've just found out via googling that they're CHOCOLATE! Drat. I passed on those for like 2 months and now she'll probably never re-stock them, because they were slow sellers.
