OK: Heaven in a can: Swoops

[COLOR=indigo]Have you seen swoops yet? Available in Reese's, Hershey's and York, it is truly the nectar of the gods.

Prepare my friends. Yes, you CAN buy heaven.[/COLOR]

Are these the chocolate things that have the appearance of a Pringles chip? Very strange idea, but they are damn good!

[COLOR=indigo]Yes!!!!! Thats them.[/COLOR]

I picked up a package of these on a whim and promptly left them in the car to bake one sunny day. I don't feel bad admiting that I enjoyed eating the melted chocolately goodness that resulted.

I've seen those in the stores, and I was like, "Hmm, interesting". I had to walk away from the display, because I saw that they had Reese's. *sigh* Damn my kidneys and diabetes! :mad: :D

[COLOR=indigo]I have really gotta get with you, Rho.... Doctor says I have PCOS, which is often a precoursor of diabetes. And now my lower back is hurting, which I've heard is a sign of Kidney stones. Since you are the resident expert.. .[/COLOR]

Not quite sure what PCOS is, but you want to keep an eye on your sugar levels. 120 is around the normal range.

Regarding your back...if you think the pain *may* be related to your kidneys, you can always ask your doctor to have you give a sample of urine, and have it tested. Also, you can have your blood tested to see if your creatinine is high. I believe 1.0 is normal (mine is currently 17, so my kidneys are kaput).

Do you have a family history of either diabetes or kidney problems? That's worth checking out as well.

my blood sugar is 80, and i was tested after i ate some fish. do i have low blood sugar??

Reappearance of this thread reminds me that I wanted to add my review on the Swoops ... eh. It's Hershey's Chocolate in a different shape. I can't get behind the fake peanutbutter flavor of the Reese's ones, the York Peppermint Patty style lack the rush of pepperminty goodness of the real deal, and I was never a big plain Hershey's Chocolate fan to begin with. They MIGHT get me back if the bring them out in Special Dark flavor, but I suspect it's all just part of their master plan to sell me less chocolate for more money.

I gave them a try. What wolf said -esp. about the Reese's ones.
