So the heck with that. But while I was there, I thought, why don't I look for a birthday present for my father.  He's hard to shop for, because he basically hates everything.  Not quite, but close. Anyway, going through the few things he likes but I haven't already bought him, I was running out of idea, so I typed in "Mentos" (those mints that used to have those weird commercials, and you can make fountains with with Diet Coke). And I was shocked to see Amazon.com carries candy. Unfortunately, they only carry weird flavored ones or sugar free, not the ones he liked. A couple weeks ago I had a hankering for some "Spree". A fruit flavored hard candy from Willy Wonka (now Nestle, I think).  I don't know why I had it the craving, I don't normally eat sweets much anymore, but since I discovered all my winter clothes fit, I decided what the heck, might as well buy some.  So I tried finding some in stores. And couldn't do it. All they had were "Chewable Spree" which looked like the original Spree, but weren't very good. I ended up giving them to my dogs. (They liked them at least. Both of them, too. One of them likes Mentos but the other just spits them out)I wasn't sure if they even made them any more, since I know some of the Willy Wonka candies are dead (like Tart & Tinies and Zaps). But still, since I was looking in the candy section, I did a search for Spree. And they still exist, apparently, in original, non-chewable form. And Amazon sells them by the case.36 rolls for $18. Plus $5 for shipping. But then I saw that they were having a deal, $10 off any purchase of $29 or more of Nestle/Willy Wonka candy. And $25 qualifies for free saver shipping.So I now have 72 rolls of spree coming in the mail. When all I really wanted was one. But I guess they keep. (Either that or my summer clothes won't fit 6 months from now.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> )Anyone else have any weird spur of the moment online purchases? (I would think Amazon.com would be the biggest spur of the moment place, thanks to their 1 click shopping, but any online place)</blockquote>
