My Harmless Addiction: Gummy Peach Rings


I have an extremely sweet, sweet tooth towards gummy peach rings, and I think its becoming a problem. Well, now that I've gotten that out the question is: how can I go about fixing this addiction? It's not necessarily something I'd be anxious to combat with because they're just so delicious and sweet that it leaves me satisfied every time. Who doesn't want to be satsified anyways? Well, when it comes to a point where you find that you're "satsifying yourself" four out of the seven days of the week, you know you're addicted. Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but once you try a bag of these peach rings, you'll never turn back I guarantee. I remember thinking that peach rings was one candy I could never like let alone eat until one day I picked up a 99 cent bag of it at CVS, ate it and it left me begging for more. Now sadly, I'm afraid hooked for life. Prior to being a licensed driver, I never had the luxury of cruising down to a local 7/11 or CVS to satsify my sweet tooth. Now with the license and car the relationship between the peach rings and I has intensified and I find myself making frequent trips to the Mill Plain Road 7/11 or CVS. It has even come to a point where the regular employees at these two places I frequently visit know exactly what I'm in there for. I've even had a friendly CVS employee say to me "You must really like these" while scanning my CVS card and taking the $1.06 from my hand. I've come to associate peach rings with a sense of independence. A parent would say that my peach ring "addiction" is nothing other than a show of independence, because either 7/11 or CVS is a place that is an easy destination to get to without asking for my parents consent.

  1. i am also a [well ,trying to be!!] recovering addict. indeed, once you try the best kind, th big super chewy beautifully coloured kind, you become hooked for life. ive devoured countless tubs of these things, sometimes in one sitting. ex: just now ate a tub of cheap Chinese knock-off's, "WANT WANT co.'s Gummi Choice peach rings", not very chewy or solid feeling but they hve that priceless, timeless sour sweet peachy taste. Mmmmmmmm...

  3. Peach rings are delicious. Once I eat one ring I must eat the whole bag! I love how dog and chewy they are, but most of all, I love that they are coated with sugar. In comparison to other candies, I don’t think peach rings are that sweet but sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth craving! I know I have no self control if I open a bag so I try to avoid them until somehow I end up buying a bag of these delicious gummies which is not that often. My live for these peach rings lead me to this page!
