Poll Question:
Who can or can't control their intake of mints (or other candies)
So today I spontaneously picked up a container of Orange Tic Tacs. In case you're living in a destitute and misbegotten nation that does not sell these sumptuous capsules that lead you into the higher spheres of minty beatitude, this is they. They're mints that come in a large variety of colors, and the gist is: they're really good.
The problem is that I can never actually purchase mints for the purpose of periodically using them over extended periods to freshen my breath. I always end up riding a crescendo into a ravenous appetite for them and inhale the entire package, or even if I don't eat them in a single sitting, I usually finish them off by the end of the day. I'll eat a few, and then I'll be like "No! We mustn't!" and then the Tic Tacs are like "We must," and then I'm like "No... we mustn't,", and the Tic Tacs are like "Yes means no," and I'm like "No," and they're like "Yes," and then I'm like "Yes!" and then they're gone within 24 hours.
This got me to thinking where other people are at in their ability to deal with mints (or other hard candies) responsibly. Are you the type that buy a pack of them and end up destroying them, or are you actually decent at managing your intake?

I basically have the same problem with cookies... I eat it all, one by one, in a relatively short time. The solution was simple though, if I bought enough of cookies then I would be more reasonable in eating them... somehow they didn't seem so appealing when I had many cases in the shelf!

Actually I'm addicted to mint candies. I do however try my hardest to regulate my consumption. But those tempting little beauties often prove too alluring and I can down the lot pretty instantly with animalistic vigor.
So I only occasionally buy them - otherwise I'm like a cat with catnip.

I basically never buy candies so I don't have this problem 
When I get some as a present for christmas or something it's such a rare occurrence that I savour them.

I'm a master rationing in candies. My sister gave me a box of After Eight(chockolate mint) about 3 months ago. I ate the last one yesterday. Same with other candies.
Home baked cookies an pastries are a whole different matter 
The walnut and apricot jam pie I baked yesterday didn't last long.

Hey it aint so bad. Kinda wonder what is that dried tea stuff. I guess it's what the janitor collects with his broom during his night shift at the tea factory.

I'm usually cool without candy, chocolate or chips but from time to time I enter a frenzied craving state and there's just no words to describe it. After a day or two I'm done with it for a few months.

I'm like a middle-age depressed housewife, binge-eating sweets through stress (and my day-to-day activities are extremely stressful) 
I used to stuff tic-tacs when I was younger but I'd rather I hadn't =]

i don't care for mints(even to freshen breath; i prefer to just brush my teeth instead). the orange tictacs i will devour like candy.
me and candy go way back. we started out with the usual foreplay, when i was a child. just a nibble here and there, during holidays. maybe it was more like being married(from what i hear). now it's moved up to kinky sex. i am quagmire, and candy are all of my asian bondage slaves in the trunk of my car, in my garage, and throughout my house.
i recently bought 4 bags of assorted halloween candy. i will get a glass of milk, and my alternating system is thus: reeses, non-reeses, reeses, sip of milk, non-reeses, reeses, non-reeses, reeses, sip of milk. repeat until i put the bags away. i eat about 1/4 of each bag of candy during a sitting. the only moderation comes when i feel i've had enough. if i didn't feel that way, i could easily eat all 4 bags. and probably get sick.
