Maybe the Easter Bunny has something to do with it

How is it that I like Reese's peanutbutter cups, but I will knock down old ladies to get Reese's peanutbutter eggs?

They are essentially the same candy. It's chocolate coated peanutbutter. The shape is the only difference.

I think Reese's puts some kind of narcotic in the chocolate they put on the peanutbutter eggs. They're all like, "I know we only whip them out at Easter, but the novelty of the egg shape will wear off for the older crowd who's seen it all before. I know...we'll put happy crack in the chocolate! That'll hook them!"

And it does. I can pass up a peanutbutter cup, but if I am presented with a peanutbutter egg, something clicks in my brain and I am now willing to do hard time for that sweet, Eastery goodness.

I bet the Easter Bunny is a pusher on the side.

The peanutbutter trees are pretty badical, too.

I have resisted the pull of the peanutbutter trees. But, my theory is holding up. They do stuff to the chocolate for the holiday candy.

I can't eat peanut butter anymore. WOE. I loved the eggs (more than the cups - they really are better!).

I bet the Easter Bunny is a pusher on the side. He TOTALLY is. Along with Santa Claus, Cupid, and the Tooth Fairy. Lacing yummy chocolates with happy crack keeps them all in business.

PS: Tell Carrie I say hi!!! <333

I'm with you on that. That whole lot saw a good thing in candy and formed a cartel.

I told Carrie you said hi. :) I'm trying to get her to use her journal more often. So far, she's either been resistant to my charms or just forgetful. Heh.

Like I said on Twitter, I think it's cuz the chcolate coating's a tad bit heavier.
