I went to the movies this past weekend and saw “Zodiac”. I wanted to see “Wild Hogs”, but it was sold out almost an hour before show time. Something that was surprising to me was that “Wild Hogs” appeared to attract a significant portion of Knoxville’s motorcycle dudes. I never knew they, the motorcycle dudes, were so punctual. Anyway, when I got there I decided to get some Skittles and a Coke (in case your asking, I am in peak physical shape - I take my pong seriously folks). You’ve seen movie candy. It always comes in some huge box. Unless its your first time purchasing movie candy, you know the big box is just a ruse.

The first time I got shafted by the illusion of the big box, I think I was probably 9 or 10. It was at the Grove Center Theater in Oak Ridge. For the next ten years I made a point to stop by the gas station next door and get my candy before any movie trips (my buddy Jack’s step brother got nailed for trying to bring a 20oz coke into the place, they actually patted him down as he tried to enter.) Well, now I am an adult and my wife thinks smuggling candy into the theater is obnoxious, not smart or crafty (the words I use to describe it). Getting to the point… I decided to have a candy-off. I wanted to basically perform an analysis between movie candy and their gas station counterparts. Lets get started…..

Example A - Movie Skittles (4 Bucks, ~170 Skittles, Tasty)

Example B - Gas Station Skittles (79 cents, ~92 Skittles, also Tasty)

Example C. Empty Sugar Babies Bag - Not Really Relevant but I like Sugar Babies

This concludes my in depth analysis. Yep, thats it. Just some pictures. To be honest, I got kinda bored after I took the pictures. I was actually getting bored taking the pictures. I actually did count the Skittles in each package, but I forgot to write the totals down. Again, b/c it was boring. I have since eaten all the Skittles. My dog helped. My dog likes Skittles. My wife does not like my dog to have Skittles on the carpet. I forgot this piece of information. I told my wife I had no clue why there was a rainbow of colors on our bonus rooms carpet. I don’t think she believed me. I continued to deny my involvement. She had no real proof until I told her I gave our dog some Skittles (I forgot I was trying to hide this information - and I thought it was a cute anecdote to share with her). I am not allowed to give Skittles to the dog anymore. I am also not allowed to pull my pants up real high and mimic the guy’s voice from the movie Sling Blade. That isn’t really related to this story.
