Why'd they take away the white curlicue on the chocolate frosted variety? Also, is it just me, or are the raspberry ones really hard to find these days?

I have been trying to find them for the last month. I know they still make them, but nothing shows up locally.

Back in high school, after I got my driver's license, there was a Dolly Madison Thrift Store by the bowling alley that had Lazer tag in it. They sold Zingers in a large brick form, like six inches b y four inches. I bought two of them once and ate them as soon as I could.

I still get nauseous even thinking about what that did to me.

I did a lot of things like that when I was younger. Sometimes I still fall into it, but I would like to think I am a little wise.

What I miss is the optimism of thinking I could eat a solid brick of cake with no consequences.

I never thought of it as blind optimism before. That is a beautiful way to remember all those crazy things.
