Holy Sugar Induced Coma, Batman
Some one offered me a generous hunk of vanilla grocery store cake with a chocolate quasi-butter cream frosting late yesterday morning. Bad Les had gotten away without breakfast so... I have never experienced anything like this in my life. The chocolate frosting had to be sweeter than anything that has ever passed my lips. Whoa! I almost immediately felt faint. I became warm and woozy. I had to sit down. This went on for about 20-25 minutes before I could feel normal again. What the hell was in that stuff, I asked myself about a dozen times.? I then thought that maybe the situation was some sort of diabetic signal. I thought better of that. I have had two complete physicals in the past couple of years and all has been normal. What could be the explanation? Perhaps my empty stomach and the equivalent of a cup of sugar were a bad combination? I don't know. I can only tell you that it was like a sugar version of an ice cream headache. Geez, nothing should be sold over the counter that can have that sort of an effect on a person. People should have to slink back alleys under the cover of darkness to get that kind of a fix. This can't be good for you. Later on I imagined the almost cartoon-y effect that much sugar must have on children. Maybe little Jimmy or little Martha are not actually stricken with one or more alphabet conditions. Just maybe they are strung out on vanilla grocery store sheet cake with a chocolate quasi-butter cream frosting.
