    At least I know what harm hot cheetos are doing to me

    Assuming you live in a country with strict ingredient labeling standards and have an encyclopedic knowledge of additives and what they might do to you.

    If you want something harmful where you KNOW what’s in it and why it’s harmful, just grab a bag of sugar and a spoon 😉

      My uncle was in the confectionery industry, and he used to say that cotton candy (which is literally just sugar) was the healthiest food in theme parks.

      He’s probably right, too, because each ball of cotton candy is made from a relatively small amount of sugar.

        this is also why i actually think hard candy that’s basically just solid sugar, is the best kind.
        Because you’re sucking on it and the sugar dissolves into your saliva you get a lot of sweetness that lasts a long time, rather than constantly shoveling stuff into your mouth.

        Now, i have no clue how terrible it is for your teeth to soak your mouth in sugar water for hours on end, but it’s not like that doesn’t happen with other candies, and i’d imagine it’s pretty good to avoid chewing on sugar?
