It&#8217;s because I don&#8217;t like the taste (smarties excepted, though I&#8217;ve eaten so many now I&#8217;m over them too). I don&#8217;t like sweet things, cakes, desserts, ice cream, candies, and I most definitely don&#8217;t like chocolate. When the waiter winks and proclaims that he&#8217;ll bring &#8220;two spoons&#8221; for me to steal off my friend&#8217;s dessert plate I just ignore him and the spoon. Chocolate is terrible. It&#8217;s nasty, but the worst part is people always try and stuff it down your throat because they just can&#8217;t believe you don&#8217;t like it.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not to say I don&#8217;t have my vices. I seek out the salt. The jerky snacks, the saltiest soups, the french fries, salt and vinegar chips, and flamin&#8217; hot cheetos (mmmmmmmmmm my fav). What do you guys like better, sweet or salty? I&#8217;m gonna try turning the comments on again. Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m in a good mood today, or maybe I&#8217;m just a fool.

I love popcorn and pretzels and chips.  I like chocolate and sweet things, but only in moderation.  I can&#8217;t finish a 20oz bottle of soda, it&#8217;s just too heavy.  I&#8217;ve become more a fan of flavored seltzers or just plain water.  For desert I&#8217;m usually happy with a scoop of ice cream, but not a lot.  Though, every once in a while I do have a massive sugar craving and things get ugly.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I love salty sweet things.  Like pretzel bits mixed with chocolate, mmmmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Webb asks &#8220;Which do you like better? Sweet or Salty&#8221; I really hate sugar.
