Good Timing

We have one of those honour system snack boxes in the lunch room at work. Basically, a box full of chips, candy bars and gum that you can buy for a $1.

This morning I saw a new candy bar I hadn't tried, that looked tasty (peanut butter Twix bar - It was worth the dollar, but not worth the seven WW points it cost me). I grabbed the bar, intending to pay later because I only had a twenty on me.

So now it's lunch time and I'm back in the break room. I look down at the box and notice it's getting pretty empty. I think to myself "Hmm. Better pay my debt, the guy's probably going to come in any time now". I pull the change box out and make change for myself, leaving the twenty and keeping $19.

I microwave my lunch and thirty seconds later the guy shows up to swap the boxes out. And I prevented myself from being a no-good deadbeat by less then a minute. Yay me.

OMG.....peanut butter Twix!! Those are the best things ever, and I don't think I've seen them since moving up here! In fact, they were hard to find even before I moved here.

If you see another one, grab me one?

Yay...thank you!

They might be...I've certainly heard of them all.

I've been loving the Dark Mars bars and Dark Bounty recently. They are Oh So good!

Yeah, those are all american brands.

That would explain why the chocolate sucks...

Maybe, because I've heard of them and seen them and may possibly have eaten one or two in my lifetime.
