I am so addicted to these sweet little sugar coated eggs its ridiculous. Every year when Mini Eggs arrive in stores I'm sure to be the first to pick up a bag or two or three, or four, well you get the point. This year was a little different. I've been eating pretty healthy lately and wasn't really craving them but one day while I was at Walmart I couldn't resist. They were only $2 a bag! I couldn't believe it. I've never seen them for less than $2.33 a bag when they're on sale - except at the end of the season when they are so hard to find. I brought them home and dug in that night. Because I hadn't been eating too many sweets I ended up with a horrendous stomach ache. It was one of those stomach aches that makes you wish you'd just puke because you know you'll feel better after. Instead of puking I just went to bed feeling terrible and swearing off the Mini Eggs. Except when I woke up the next morning I was feeling just fine and my Mini Egg addicted brain decided it would be wonderful to have some more.A few days later I was at Sam's Club and saw a 40oz bag of my sweet addiction. It was even cheaper than $2 a bag to buy them this way! With three little kids and one big kid begging for them once again I couldn't resist. I figured they'd last the rest of the season and I'd have enough to spare for the Easter Bunny. I don't know what I was thinking. In less than a week they're gone. All 40oz of them. I didn't eat the entire bag myself but it was enough that I should probably be really embarrassed even writing about it.
I am now pimply, noticing my jeans are fitting a little tighter, and sick of my lack of self control. I'm really swearing off the Mini Eggs this time . . . but probably not until sometime around the middle of April!

Ohhh, man. I could've written this exact post. I so know the feeling of eating these until I want to barf, then going back for more! My pants are all getting tighter, too, ugh.
Visualize this the next time you get the urge, "Nauseous, bloated stomach, uncomfortable fitting pants and break-out", then picture evil looking horned MINI EGGS! Next ask yourself, "Do I want to be part of the malicious, addictive, moneymaking candy scheme?" Finally, JUST SAY NO!!!

Haha, Christa, every time I see these I think of you. I've gone through 4 bags practically BY MYSELF. I haven't gone to the gym since we got our house...you get the picture, and its not a pretty one. I actually had some for breakfast the other day (hanging my head in shame.)
I'm with ya. Those cadbury eggs are amazing! Have you ever tried sucking the shell of? Or just eating the chocolate by itself without the shell? Both are nasty, but together... oh baby. I usually buy all that are on clearance just after Easter for around a buck... that's right, a buck. The special should be right around the time you're willing to try them again :) I know I'll be first in line for black Monday Cadbury mini-egg day. Hope you are all well! (besides the Cadbury mini-egg side effects of course)
