When it comes to eating candy, there are various ways that people enjoy their favorite sweets.
Many celebrities have their opinions on the issue.
For example, Kourtney Kardashian views the proper way to eat a Kit Kat: to eat all the chocolate from the wafer and then eat the crispy wafer by itself.
With almost any candy, you can choose to eat it in multiple different ways.
The standard method is just taking a bite of the candy and throwing it in your mouth no matter what. However, the other ways of eating candy create more of an experience.
For Kit Kats, like Kourtney Kardashian, you can bite all the chocolate off to reveal the wafer and then eat the wafer after. For Hershey's bars, you can break apart all the pieces of chocolate and eat each of them individually.
For M&M’s, some people organize them by color first – one might say that this method favors those who are more compulsive - and then eat them from least favorite color to their favorite, saving the best for last.
For Milk Ways, some people start with the chocolate and then get to the “good parts” of the candy afterward. For Twix, some people start with chocolate, move on to the caramel and then eat the biscuit individually.
Saving the best candy for last, some people punch the peanut butter hole out of Reese’s Cup and eat that first, then eat the rim. It seems like a bit too much effort, but who are we to judge how people consume their favorite candy?
People eat candies differently because they are bored, want to be quirky, or believe sweets taste better when eaten in segments.
It makes an experience out of eating candy. There is something sweeter about creating an experience from eating candy. These experiences make the candies taste better and give a candy lover a sense of purpose, if only temporarily.
However, when you eat candies differently, you may lose some balance between the different flavors, or as the Greek philosopher Aristotle said, "the sum of the parts may not equal the whole."
Who said that there isn't a science to enjoying candy?
This lack of taste balance happens explicitly with Kit Kats, Milky Ways, Twix, and Reese’s. Therefore, when you eat off certain parts of these candies first, you may miss the balance initially created through their perfected recipes.
I like to mix it up to get the best of both worlds.
Some days I eat M&M’s randomly. On other days, I split up the colors and eat them that way. Sometimes I put an entire Reese's Cup in my mouth; other times, I eat it in small bites.
Let us be forthright; there is no right or wrong way to eat candy, which makes candy so enjoyable.
