Jujyfruits are not Dots

Whenever I am in a drugstore, I am tempted by all the candy that is available.  I don't typically eat a lot of candy, but there are a few types of candy that I have a high affinity for.  These include Twizzlers (strawberry flavor), gummi bears (only Haribo brand), peanut M&Ms, Nestle Crunch and Kit Kat.  Certain flavors of Jelly Bellys are also on the list.

One candy that I remember liking is Dots.  The other day, while I was wandering a drugstore in Nashville looking for emergency shaving cream, I decided to buy candy.  My craving was for a gummi candy, and in particular, Dots.  Unfortunately I couldn't remember if it was Dots I was thinking of, or Jujyfruits.  

I ended up buying 1/2 pound of Jujyfruits.  Excited about my purchase, I bit into a sweet-smelling green Jujyfruit... and found that it was not what I was looking for.  As my jaws were trapped shut by Jujyfruit sticky power, I cursed my poor choice.  Not only were Jujyfruits not what I really wanted, a quarter of the box was licorice flavored pieces.  Who actually likes licorice anyway?  So I ended up eating an entire box of candy that gets stuck in your teeth and that is not Dots.  It was a sad day indeed.
