my take on the whole “randy did what he did to cody out of love so it’s not a true betrayal/cody wanted randy to do that but only during the match” is somewhere in the middle of all of that. like i think what randy did was 100% a heel turn and cody didn’t want randy to beat him to a pulp 0.5 seconds after their contract signing - but i also think randy did it out of love, because yeah, cody gave him the go ahead to not hold back at wm - but hearing cody tell him that he’ll always be randy’s boy and that he loves him might have made randy worry that cody won’t give him the same treatment because he’s got such a soft spot for him. so he had to bring out the worst in cody by bringing out the worst in himself.

My Meemaw (grandmother) made me some mints. It’s even more impressive since she’s 92 years old. I would have taken a picture when I first got them but I just wanted to eat them. It was an act of amazing self control to take any picture at all lol. All three colours are a different type of mint.
The shallow plate/bowl it’s sitting in is one I made in college.

Whomever named these things?
Fucked up. These things are not FAST, they are not a BREAK, they are a commitment. These dense little fuckers are like the nutrient brick of the candy world, one bite and you’re good for a while. If you’re commiting to an entire bar it’s an afternoon, who looked at this chunky bunk and said “let’s make these as a light, fast snack”.

My wife and I were talking about gummies. I got curious about there origins and here’s what I found.
1864 - Precursor: True Treats Candy reports that early gelatin-based “Unclaimed Babies” were sold in England.
1922 - Birth of the Bear: Hans Riegel Sr. of Bonn, Germany, invented Tanzbären (dancing bears), which were larger than modern bears, using sugar, gelatin, and fruit flavors.
1960s - Goldbears: Haribo rebranded their iconic candy as Goldbären (Goldbears), refining them into the smaller, softer shape popular today.
1981 - US Arrival & Worms: Haribo entered the US market. Shortly after, Land Of The Gummies notes that Trolli invented gummy worms.
1990s-Present - Diversification: The market exploded with varied shapes (rings, sharks, burgers) and sour, sugar-coated, or filled varieties.

Was very recently introduced to the concept of candy and with that in mind last nights contract signing was like a fucking telenovela. I kept referring to Randy as Cody’s father for the drama but actually there’s another more dramatic option

These are supposed to be “extreme #@$%! Sour” sour patch kids and I have to say I’m underwhelmed. I drink pickle juice though so maybe that’s just me
