Candy rationing

(tags sweets, candy, import)

I still like American candy. Import shops carry some down class level candy like the ones shown here. Why isn't there a proper equivalent to "Peppermint Patties" or "Reese's Peanut Butter Cups" here in Japan?

Hershey's Kisses Chocolate Mint, Peter Paul's Mounds, Black Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper

Because I went crazy by over-eating my last batch of chocolate, I'm rationing this bunch of "Hershey's Kisses: Chocolate Mint" and "Peter Paul Mounds". I leave the full bags at home, and put only 5 Kisses and 1 Mounds in my work bag per day. Call it a candy bento.

The "Dr. Pepper"? One long chug and my 200 yen is gone.
