I don't even buy Pepperidge Farm cookies. I eat them all in one sitting. They are evil.

Same here, especially those Milanos.

Oh man, I think I'm going to turn diabetic by eating so many of these things! I didn't even know they existed until my sisters-in-law bought some last week. HOLY CRAP these are GOOD!

They're unbelievable !

Mangle them a little and mix 'em in with some ice cream - like Vanilla or Vanilla Fudge.....

I keep the Caramel kisses in the freezer.

I bought caramel-filled Kisses in the past summer, but couldn't finish the whole bag.  They were too sweet for me.  They were sitting in my fridge for a long time, so I finally threw them away.

If they were made of dark chocolate, instead of milk chocolate, that'd solve that problem right quick.

I can't eat too much milk chocolate all in one sitting -- too sweet.

But man -- dark or even bittersweet chocolate!!! -- I can really put that stuff away!!

The milanos are great, and I don't buy them either. Not a big fan of hershey's or caramel, so I probably wouldn't dig the caramel kisses. My new favorite treat are these date cookies that I buy at the middle eastern restaurant I frequent. Yum.

What used to rule for me were those fudge-covered apple lollipops. Anyone know those? In fact, I think my rising weight can be traced back to the moment when a friend at the phone sex office brought them in to work.

What was your gig at the phone sex office?

I had a feeling that wouldn't just slide by ...

The company not only advertised in Hustler, etc., but also in magazines like Rolling Stone, because what they offered was "phone dates". You see, we claimed to have "local" girls registered to which we "matched" incoming callers to. Charges could be made to your phone bill or your credit card. Hourly rate of about $7.00 plus bonuses based on how many people you matched up who actually went through and charged a call. $1.00 for every credit card call and .50 for every call charged to the phone bill. Pretty good money, and it allowed me to work full time from 4 to 11 pm.

But that wasn't my only duty. They also advertised to women in Playgirl and gay men, too. And since (as you've heard) I've got the great deep voice, whenever they had a gay guy or a girl on the line, they'd ask me to go into the other room and take the call. One time, believe it or not, I was "Bob" to some guy who, ten minutes earlier, I had matched up to "Bob". I recognized the details and realized this was the same guy I had talked to a few minutes before so I didn't want to take the call, but he didn't recognize my voice as the same as the operator's voice when he called earlier. :wacko:

If you're wondering, I did have one line I refused to cross: Talking dirty to men. I could handle the dirty talk to ladies, but there was just no way I could do that for guys. So, with the men, I was a local guy who was looking for a friend/companionship and I just kept things loose. Of course, since its a per-minute charge, you just want to keep them on the phone as long as possible, and that was easy just by getting them to talk about themselves.

The hardest part was with the poor saps (male and female) who thought they were talking to someone "local". They told you where the person was calling from, and each cubicle had a book of maps you could consult. These people were never in major metropolitan areas, always small towns, so you wanted to pick a nearby town that wasn't too close. And heaven help you if he started asking questions about where you worked, etc. Definitely could be nerve-racking.

Which reminds me of an amusing call I took. The girl was somewhere outside Boston, and I assumed she was looking for a local guy. So I looked at the map and picked a town, and she started giving me a hard time, told me there was no way I lived there, and where do you live, blah blah blah. Then she set me up and asked about some local landmark. I tried the "just moved here" excuse but she wouldn't hear it. So I finally asked her why she had called and she said, "Because I'm horny!" and I said, "Oh" and I launched into my by then well-practiced spiel. :g

Oh, and did I mention how dirty the company was? To keep bleeding the suckers dry, they used what, in the financial industry is called "churning": They had another, small bank of phones where people worked, calling customers back to tell them that "Candy" or "Bob" wants to talk to you again, would you like to talk to them? What they never told them was that they were being charged again for the call! And they didn't care if the first call didn't go too well, they'd still call them back and ask if they wanted to talk to the person again. So I'd get called back into the other room, to take a call that I "initiated" when I had nothing to say. Hated when they did that to me. And they never listened when I told them not to call the guy back again and again.

I have to say that while the job was sometimes a lot of fun, and certainly memorable, I still wanted to shower as soon as I got home. On the positive side, within a month of my quitting, the Feds actually raided the place and shut them down. Didn't arrest any of the peons manning the phones, but they did arrest the upper management and the owners.

Guess I didn't have to write a dissertation to answer your question, but ...

Dark chocolate? Hell yes! :tup

Not a huge fan of caramel, unless it's on an apple or mixed with some nuts. However I like the Harold Z suggestion of throwing these damn kisses in with some ice cream.

Funny you should bring up Rolos. I loved those as a kid as well, but I swear they changed the formula or something on them. I can't eat them anymore. The caramel-filled Kisses blow them away.

The nearest thing I can relate the Kisses to are those Carmello candy-bars that are completey decadent. The Kisses don't make you feel as guilty, though.
