Childhood obesity edition!

Newport! Home of my childhood! Photos!

That's the beach. It's pretty!

And yes, that's ice forming on the beach. It was really cold.

Porn and Jesus. And I just love the idea of of a 24 hour porn store. So, if at 3am you desperately need something, it's right there!

CORNDOGS! They're kinda like Kiwi hotdogs, but they're dipped in cornbread batter before being deep fried. They're damned good, but so deadly.

Candy corn is a mainstay of halloween candy. No one really knows what it is, and it's not really edible, but it's a classic. Weird little things, they'll probably outlast Armageddon.

This candy bag is pure childhood sugar high material. There's a jawbreaker, saltwater taffy and pixie sticks. There's enough sugar in this one bag to transform someone into the Flash for a limited time.

And this is what's inside a pixie stick. They're paper tubes filled with sugary sherbet-y stuff that's a toxic colour. It's like speed for 5 year olds.

Any wonder I was a pudgy child?
