It slides down your throat, soft and chewy. It tastes like nothing you’ve ever had before. What is it? A Peach-e-o. Peach-e-os are the most delectable treat anyone could ever try. Some may wonder, what is a Peach-e-o? Well, I will explain. A Peach-e-o is a circular candy. It is soft and chewy. Half of the ring is orange, while the other half is a peach color. Sugar is sprinkled over the top of each ring, creating a slight tang to the sweet ring. These mouthwatering treats are something no one should miss trying. Once you have tasted a Peach-e-o, you will be converted much as I am.
The story of my conversion goes like this: One day I came home from a particularly hard day of third grade. I was tired and in desperate need of something delicious to assuage my exhaustion. As I glanced around the kitchen in search of that something, my eyes landed on a bag full of strange orange rings. I called out to my mother, “What are these things?” She responded simply, “Peach-e-os.” I approached the bag cautiously. As I opened it, a waft of something sweet smelling hit my nose. I plunged in and grabbed my first Peach-e-o. I put it into my mouth and chewed. Then next thing I knew I had eaten five more! I loved them! After a hard day of school, this was exactly what I needed. Ever since that day, when I am asked my favorite candy, I always respond with Peach-e-os.
Now one might wonder why should I like Peach-e-os? They are candy, and candy is bad for you. Well, Peach-e-os are not just candy. They are the kind of thing that every person would crave after a difficult day. Think about the many days you’ve come home from school tired and depressed. Wouldn’t a sweet, tangy, chewy candy be just the thing to appease your exhaustion? From personal experience I would dare to answer yes! Everyone has that sweet tooth in their mouth. It calls out to you when something sweet is needed. A Peach-e-o would perfectly calm that tooth. Just one Peach-e-o and what once was a nagging sweet tooth is now an appeased tooth. Admit it; there have been those times for all of us when that candy was calling out to us from the isle in the store. When it comes to Peach-e-os, I would say go for it! A sweet, chewy candy is just what you need! As that Peach-e-o slides down your throat, and someone notices your content face, they may ask, “What is that?” You can answer, “A Peach-e-o!”
I love those! They are super good, we used to get them every time we rented movies. I love to suck all the sugar off of them till they are smooth then swallow it whole. I haven't had them for a while, maybe I'll pick some up this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThose are one of the best gummy candies. The way you described them made me want to eat them even more. I have not had them in quite some time, and you made me long for them again like I used to. I have always been more of a chocolate kind of person, but those are amazing and everyone should try them!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THOSE! I am a huge candy eater, so I could tell you what is good and what isn't, and well Peachie-os are great! My sister Julie always buys those and she got me addicted to them. Just hearing about them makes my mouth water!
ReplyDeleteWell written, Amy! This post was entertaining, and I could definitely hear your voice and personality coming through! And...it made me want peach-e-o's. I'm not usually a fan of fruity candy, but I might just have to go to the store and buy some!
