It&#8217;s not that I really love peach rings that much or anything, I just needed some candy, and that seemed the most appealing at the time. Also it was like two bucks, so how could I refuse? I ate a few, went back to work, and left them sitting in the car.<\/p>\n<p>Now, this summer&#8217;s been pretty crappy, and most of our days have been cold, rainy, windy, or any combination of those three. So of course when I got home and settled into my room and I realized I&#8217;d left the peach rings in the car, I wasn&#8217;t worried. I&#8217;d just take them in tomorrow after work. Of course, I forgot they were there in the morning, and they sat in the backseat all day long. And that was the day the sun came out to shine.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.torrentialequilibrium.net\/images\/peachez1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center>The little bastards melted something fierce, creating a horrible gelatinous peach blob. I was disappointed at first, but quickly discovered that the blob was not only still edible, but it also made a great plaything! The blob was unexpectedly smooth and soft, but it was also sticky as hell, as evidenced by the fact that if I put in my finger, then lifted it out, the whole bucket would lift with it, then slowly stretch back down. See!<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.torrentialequilibrium.net\/images\/peachez2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center>Yeah. Sticky. And there&#8217;s really not much else to say about that. I showed a close-up picture to people (without telling them what it was) and they were totally grossed out, thinking it was some kind of gore. Then I said it was just candy and they were only slightly less disgusted. I ended up eating most of what was in the bucket, but it hardened back up pretty quickly and it became much harder to tear chunks off. So I&#8217;m out a couple peach rings, but I think the entertainment value was still worth the two dollar price. Also an easy blog post!<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I should also mention that I&#8217;m going to Canmore again for the next week, so no blogging until Saturday at the earliest. Not that I&#8217;ve been keeping up very well over the last couple weeks though&#8230; Whatever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the other day I went out on my lunch break and bought a bucket of peach rings candy from Wal-Mart.
