I prefer candy. Lots of different kinds, I'm not picky. And yes, the chocolate across the pond is so much better. I spent 3 weeks in Germany when I was in high school and I ate lots of chocolate while I was there. ( When I wasn't drinking their fabulous beer.)
Im not really into anything sweet so gum (minty or fruity gum) is my choice.
The company I'm in actually encourages people to chew gum while working. I think there is a study that proves that you can think better while chewing. They even provided gum sticks for 10 yen a pack.
Nursie, i don't chew my gum loud. I thought i saw your avatar looked at me with blazing eyes while reading your post.
