If you were a candy, what kind of candy would you be and why?

Skittles.. enough said.
You can't "enough said"... you have to say "why"!

Unless the candy is self-explanatory... like mine:

Chunky

IHO, you're always knocking yourself about your weight. I'm beginning to suspect you are holed up in your house, unable to move from your bed just like those episodes you see on TLC and Discovery channel about the morbidly obese. We may be the only interaction you have with the outside world? I had never even heard of that Nestle Chunky bar yet you are familiar with it. Tell me. Do you eat many of them? Is Mrs. IHO what they call a "feeder"? You don't have to be shy. It's just us. Us "imaginary friends" will still like you no matter how much you weigh.
 
IHO, here is the explanation: As bland as the life is in the suburbs, there is a spectrum of colors in the heart.
HS: Experience the rainbow :-)
 
IHO must be in a food coma, so while he's coming out of it, I'll bump this thread.

I am a white Jordan almond.

Sophisticated yet casual. Blindingly white on the outside, a layer of rich chocolate on the inside, and a little nutty at the heart of it. Jordan almonds are used for weddings as a symbol. "Bitter" almonds and "sweet" sugar symbolize the bitterness of life with sweetness of love. I have been dredged in both.  It is not sickeningly sweet but satisfyingly so and not too bitter because it is still consumed with enjoyment. It's a sustaining snack.
 
I'm a muscular man wrapped in a bunch of non-muscular material. When anyone comments on the size of my belly... I tell them it's PURE muscle.

It's not really the quantity of food but the type... I should cut carbs but it taste good. And I should do more than just basketball on the weekends, but weekdays are so short on time with work, dinner, kids homework, kids play etc.
 
Honestly, why even bother thinking about your weight, IHO?

I mean, if you're talking from a health standpoint, I suppose that's one thing as something along the lines of say, diabetes, is no laughing matter.... but if you're talking about esthetics.... men are not at all held to the same scrutiny that women are**. So, why not just enjoy yourself? I'll bet Mrs. IHO and the kids are just fine with the way things are.

**Footnote: I recently heard someone say, "A sense of humor is to a woman what boobs are to a man." So funny because it's so true. That's how our world works. Be happy you can get away with so much.  :)

IHO has moobs?

No moobs. Well. Maybe he does. But that's the thing. It doesn't matter if he does or doesn't. As long as he is funny, he's got it made in the shade. All of you men are. The world doesn't care how fat you are. We, especially the female "we", only care about your personality. As long as you guys are funny, you'll always have women fawning over you. It doesn't work that way when the tables are turned. Society cares way more about our looks than yours.

I totally concur with what I heard above. I'm always telling Mr. SoCal he'd look best if he put on more weight. (He is not a slim guy.) I'm always trying to feed him. Funny story: My Vietnamese friends call me "the traditional Vietnamese wife". I don't know exactly what that means but I get the idea from their comments. Haha. I may not be Viet but I do care that he's well taken care of. If he is "festively plump" it is a compliment that he likes my cooking. And he's very funny. So, he could be 1,000 lbs and I'd still be very happy!  :) In fact, I'd be happier. I guess I am biased, though. I've always liked big guys!
 
@IHS:

What SoCal is saying is although I look like BigFoot to you... by making women laugh... it blurs their vision and I look like Brad Pitt to them... an XXXL version of him.
 
For some reason, the first candy that popped into my head after reading this was Junior Mints. So I'm going to go with that. I guess I see myself as sticky, gooey, and minty.
