Week 3- Heaven in a Little Ring

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!”
