OK: Heaven in a can: Swoops
 
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.

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

Yes!!!!! Thats them.

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

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.. .

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.

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.
