Dear Super Fun 3rd Grade Humans,
ReplyDeleteHello! I hope you are having a hauntingly great time at after school enrichment. Don't you just love sugary treats? I am excited to write to you and introduce myself. Here are some tasty tidbits about me the Milky Way Midnight Bar. Doesn't my name just make you drool?
Did you know that dark chocolate is good for you and I am made of that healthy dark chocolate! This is why I am important. Well, if I am honest, I have a little of that healthy dark chocolate and a great deal of sugar. BUT, I am a beautifully wrapped bar of dark goodness. If you like the midnight colors, you will love me!
It is important that you know I have 29 grams of sugar in me. This is 116 teaspoons of sugar every time you eat me - I will really get your brain rolling and your body hyped up! I am very high in sugar and people who like dark chocolate really enjoy me! To be honest, I am not a healthy snack. In fact, I have more bad points than good points when you are talking about healthy eating.
I can be found at the Shell station or at Walmart! You can buy me as a single or in a 6 pack - I even can be bought as a package of minis! If you are interested in delicious goodness, please find me and take me home today!
Love Sugar,
The Milky Way Midnight Bar
aka Mrs. Belinda
I apologize. My math is backwards. This is what happens when you eat too much sugar too late at night. There are 7 teaspoons of sugar in each of me!!
DeleteWhew! That's good to know! I was panicking when I read 116 teaspoons of sugar. 7 is not good, but 116 is terrifying!!!

My name is Mrs. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I am important because many people love my sweet chocolate and peanut butter taste. I am covered in chocolate and when you bite into me all you taste is sweet peanut butter. Most humans think I am way more than sweet! They think I'm delishous! I wish for people to know that they hurt me when they don't buy me. I also want them to know that I have 21 grams of sugar. I am pretty much found at every store in the candy aisle. If you ask me, I am better than any other candy in the world. My chocolate will give you a sugar shock in less than one bite. I am good enough to give you way more than a sugar shock. !!!
ReplyDeleteAlways Love Sugar,

ReplyDeleteGreetings, fellow humans! You probably know me as the Hersey's Kiss w/Almonds, but my real name is Hersey. If you want to find me, look for my golden foil wrapper. Inside you will find a rich, chocolate coated almond. I am important because I bring joy to the land. Without me, this world would not be awesome, and the world needs to be awesome. That is my responsibility, my specialty, and my reason for existence. All of the children find me delicious except for the ones with peanut allergies. Each of my friends are giftedly made and then wrapped in golden foil. All of the children and parents have a craving for me. If you want in on the awesomeness, you can find me on the candy isle in your local Wal Mart, Dollar General, Freds, Piggly Wiggly, Family Dollar, and many other places.
