Space Oddity
I just realized that I do a somewhat peculiar thing.
I claim to eat a lot of trail-mix. And yes, there is usually a big bag of the stuff on my desk. And yes, the trail-mix does get consumed. Sort of.
I make my own trail-mix. Use the regular premix at the store then add generous helpings of corn nuts, reese’s pieces and at least double the amount of smarties in the stuff.
However when I eat it, what do I do? Pick out all the corn-nuts, reese’s pieces and smarties, and eat those. Occasionally I’ll toss in an almond or cashew for fun. But mostly I just eat the stuff I added, and end up tossing the rest - because who wants to eat a bagfull of rasins and peanuts? Ew.
So, to recap: I buy trail mix, stir in candy, promptly pick out the candy, eat it, and throw away the trail mix.
And why don’t I just buy candy and leave that on my desk? Because that’s unhealthy!

Mmm candy. I’ve never thought of sweettarts in trail mix. BRILLIANT!

Sounds like you’d like my version of trail mix…it’s less work…no picking stuff out.
Chocolate chips
marshmallows
smarties
chocolate covered raisins
reese’s pieces
cashews
I love cashews and raisins though…so YMMV.
This is especially fun to take camping, when everything melts together and you wind up with a massive chocolate bar later that night.

Makes perfect sense to me!

Totally something I’d do. Although I’m leaning not to lie to myself
