@swaggboi @ChristosArgyrop I’ve tried ordering #Tastykakes a few times after moving from #Philly to Houston, just for a reminder of home.

Unfortunately, the quality of their signature products (Kandy Kakes, baked pies, and my beloved Krimpets—butterscotch or jelly) has been on a decline since they sold out to an out-of-state company.

@mjgardner @ChristosArgyrop Honestly idk if I had ever heard of them before that night. I can tell you that the Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes are delightful but idk if I can buy them again cuz I keep inhaling them…

@swaggboi @ChristosArgyrop Oh, they are. And maybe it’s my childhood sweet tooth talking, but they were even more delightfully inhalable then.

Yes, I’m battling down a lifetime of weight gain, how did you guess?

@mjgardner @ChristosArgyrop Nah I believe you.

My weight used to fluctuate a lot. I quit drinking last year and I think it’s been steady since but I guess it hasn’t been long enough to say for sure. Plus I mean, the Kandy Kakes aren’t gunna help…

@swaggboi @ChristosArgyrop My parents put me in public school a year early in the late 1970s because I was “gifted” and people didn’t yet know that translates to a learning disability in schools with a standardized curriculum.

So I spent my elementary school years sailing through academics without learning how to study while getting pummeled in gym class and recess.

I didn’t choose the sedentary life; the sedentary life chose me.
