Candy Cravings?

Chocolate? Caramels? Lollipops? Skittles? Snickers? Jolly Ranchers?

Uh, negative (though I do still enjoy my chocolate on a regular basis). I'm talking about Tums. Oh yes, the antacid. Lately, I've been popping 'em like candy. And for the most part, they are much more satisfying than any chocolatey goodness out there.

After all, can a Milky Way soothe my aching esophagus? Can a Dove bar tame the indigestion that flares up regularly? As much as I wish they could, they don't.

So my hero, my candy craving at the moment, is Tums. That berry-flavored chalk that leaves a film on my hands and an after-taste in my mouth. That sweet relief that must be accompanied by several gulps of water. That two-tablet magic "candy" that erects a barrier between my stomach and my esophagus.

Mmmmmm, Tums.
