BLOG POST #47- My Brother’s Candy Addiction

My brother used to have a serious candy addiction. He’s had more cavities than he can remember and besides having so many teeth filled, he’s even had multiple teeth pulled. Eight teeth at one time too! He used to eat candy as an appetizer, side dish and dessert with every meal of the day. Funnily enough, he was able to stay thin.

In the past year however, he decided to focus on fixing up his mouth and his health and instead opted for dried fruit. While at first this seemed like a great idea, we aren’t loving it so much. Sure it’s much healthier and our house is filled with it, but there is something he didn’t realize when making the jump from sour sticks and airheads to dried guava and dried strawberries. Dried fruit is super expensive!

He is really draining my parents with the money he sucks out of their wallets just for his snack addiction. But then again my brother was always a selfish one who worried more about stuff for himself than showing any regard for my parents’ earned cash. I just hope he can find a happy medium so that he doesn’t make them bankrupt off fruit.
