You ever get in one of the modes where you eat the same snack for days and days and weeks?
That is what's happening with me right now with Planters Chocolate-Covered Cashews. They come in cans now (the bags vanished several months ago). They're big cashews, and the chocolate is delicious too. I have no scientific proof to back this up, but it seems to me that when companies cover their nuts with chocolate, they seem to use bigger nuts. It's especially noticable with whole cashews. Maybe they just seem bigger because they are covered with chocolate, I'm not sure. I just know I'm going through whole cans in one sitting while watching television or reading.
The other night I actually pouted because when I went to have some of the cashews I had bought earlier that day, I realized that I had picked up their Dark Chocolate-Covered Almonds by mistake. Nothing against dark chocolate and almonds, but when you have your taste buds all set for something and you taste something else, it kinda bums you out.
