What is some of your Pet Peeve's

Since 99% of chocolate/candy bars have milk, I can't have any.
When Hersheys added a milk ingredient to the special dark chocolate bar, it was the last of the commercial chocolate bars I could eat.

Good riddance. I live not that far from Hershey, and can say without doubt that they make some of the worst chocolate on earth. They developed that unique taste by using spoiled milk, and overloading the recipe with sugar to compensate. The only thing that crap is good for is feeding to Europeans, used to their good brands (Lindt, Milka, Ritter), and watching their faces turn sour at the first bite.

If you can get it, Asher's dark chocolate is excellent, easily better than any of the premium brands, without the price of imports. Since you're in southeast PA, you probably already know the brand.

They add milkfat to their dark chocolate :-(

But I did have their chocolate covered pretzels back in the 70's and remember them and Wilbur's being so much better than any store bought. I do miss that stuff.

I like Milka, Ritter and Lindt…

Lindt is affiliated with Giradeli as they offer it at the factory outlet and Milka is affiliated with Craft.

Hershey also has a premium line.

Oh, here's one that's timely: wives who buy any Halloween candy other than Reese's and Twix! Don't be buying Smarties or Sour Patch kids stuff, because I'm going to be stuck with that crap for the next month, on years when we get no trick-or-treaters.

Smarties and maybe M&Ms are about the only candy I'll eat. I'll stock up before Halloween on the premise of having it for trick or treaters, even though there are almost no kids in this neighborhood, and we've never had even one TorT'er in the 20 years we've been here. Reese's are good too, Twix, meh.
Gee, no trick or treaters...I guess I'll have to eat it all myself.

I'm in Taiwan right now and will be passing through Tokyo when I head home. Twix are an obsession in Japan with many different flavors, green tee, strawberry, lemon.

I'm planning to buy a bunch of bags of the wasabi flavored Twix and hand them out to the kids at my house!

Waiting for doctors to come to exam room.

Had an appointment today to assess if I need cataract surgery. Appointment was at 9:30AM, but I got there at 9:20, checked in and was given two more pages of questions to be filled out. Tech came out and took me for three different kinds of scans at 10:15, then back to waiting room. Nurse (tech?) took me to exam room, vision tests and dilating drops administered, and she left at 10:50, told me the doctor would be in a "few minutes." Doctor finally showed up at 11:35, rushed through his exam, answered a few questions and was gone in 10 minutes. Stood in line to check out for another 5 minutes, the lady looked over my paperwork and said you're good to go. So I was there over 2 1/2 hours for maybe 30 minutes of actual testing and exams.

Last July, when I went to my regular ophthalmologist, after the assistant did the eye chart tests and administered the dilating drops, I sat there for a full hour before the doctor came in. She gave no reason for the delay, and I was too mad to make a comment.

One the other hand, for my six month checkup, my MD came into the exam room about 5 minutes after the nurse did the initial interview and BP check. I was in and out in ~30 minutes, including time in the waiting room.

The specialist said at this point, my cataracts aren't bad enough that I would notice much difference after the replacement, so I'll wait a couple more years or so.
