yesterday evening was my first trip ever to the observation deck of the empire state building, something i figured i would never do since i hadn't managed to get up there by now, and i can currently see the skyline from my bedroom, so really, why waste the money and the tourist-fighting energy? but there we were last night staging a group photo op for a friends' wedding, and causing all sorts of ruckus as one member of our group works in the building so we had "VIP passes", and we sort of took this as our right to completely take over the entire landmark as security was putty in our hands with those passes. it was fun.
in any event, i can now say that there is something i love about the empire state building. no, not the view! the fact that in their souvenir shop they sell ESB branded peachy rings*, which they call "peach hoop de do's". i consider myself a bit of a peachy ring connoisseur**, so seeing this unique and wildly entertaining name for them just made my day.

speaking of sugary candy, i found myself with a package of sprees just before and they completely made my afternoon. as did eating them whilst reading this discussion. i am thrilled that there are other 'catcher in the rye' haters out there...up until now i've been led to believe it was just me. hmmph.
*these are peachy rings, in case you had no idea what i was talking about.
**my college roommate and i developed a minor addiction to them at one point, and they have been a staple in the sugary candy portion of my diet ever since.

They look like tiny tiny doughnuts!
hah, i never looked at them that way before...i'm assuming this doughnut factor is pretty much why we like them as much as we do!
i didn't even need to click the link to see this peachy goodness you speak of, as i am already well-versed in such deliciousness. OBVI.
