a few months ago, my co-worker randomly asked me if I wanted to try one of these sour gummy candies she got from a specialty candy store by a metro stop. I said sure and tried one and literally my life was changed......I can't quite describe it but they have this certain chewy texture that is both fluffy but firm.....if you enjoy sour candy AT ALL, you need to try asap. i'm partial to the bubblegum or raspberry lemon sur skalles (sour skulls). bonus points if your plug is also find a sweet francophone man who goes "bonjour, bubs?" when you walk into his store and order half a kilo. warning: this habit is not cheap, but there are far worse vices

I'm Norwegian so I was familiar with Scandinavian gummy candy prior to this, but Swedish candy has been going viral on TikTok recently and one of these shops is dangerously close to my new office. Miraculously I've limited myself to only one bag per week...I'm partial to Bubs and the chocolate covered marshmallow bears.

black licorice rocks my whole entire world- it's rude and disgusting, which is why i love it and always keep a little on me, getting weird and melted at the bottom of my bag. candy is for children but black licorice is for cool grown ups. here are some of the craziest kinds:PANDA, the sweet kind: for when you need to wash down a savory meal with a little sweet treat!WHEELS, the hard kind: for when you don't want to chew on something with the consistency of food, and would rather chew on something with the consistency of plastic.CHIPS, the minty kind: for when you need a cure! weird cough, weird throat or weird stomach, these are basically like the candy cure for all of that! tiny little hard licorice treats that are mentholated so they taste medical, eating them feels like it's good for you! sometimes i will eat one of these after every meal because it feels like mouthwash for your entire guts. i'm so jewish that sometimes i need help digesting food, and these minty lil guys help me wash it all down. they're also the perfect texture: hard and teeth-destroying. i like carrying them around in my bag because they make the whole bottom of my bag smell like a clean hospital.VENCO CATS, the savory kind: for when you don't want to share your candy with anyone, so you purposefully find unappealing candy that smells/tastes too gross. the bag smells like shit as soon as you open it, so no one ever wants a piece of your candy once you crack these puppies open. they're a little sweet and perfectly hard, and eating just one is enough of a candy treat to tide you over for the day.HARIBO PIRATE COINS "PIRATOS", the salty kind: for when you want to punish yourself with something actually disgusting, and clear out everything in your entire body. want to reset the flavor alignment with your tongue? want to completely erase the feeling of your entire body? want something that will kill you dead, so that you can be reborn again? eat one of these salty pirate coins and you'll have to throw your whole mouth away and get a new one! wanna play a mean trick on someone? offer them one of these Danish delights and they will never forgive you for what you have done to them. eating a single coin is like swallowing an entire salt shaker whole.

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
