Addiction
I seriously need help! I'm completely addicted to Haribo Tagada, which are squishy little red sweets, allegedly strawberry flavoured, but I could be just saying that because they're red. 
Unfortunately it's impossible to eat just a few - you have to continue until the whole packet is gone. Usually you feel a bit queasy at the end, but that's normal. However, I've found that drinking strong coffee to perk yourself up doesn't work too well... Also, there's a certain knack in timing the next handful from the packet before finishing chewing the last mouthful - too late and it's unfulfilling, too early and you run a serious risk of choking to death. Don't tell me that you should just put them in your mouth one at a time, that's just crazy talk.

I know just what you mean. When I lived in Paris for 6 months, Tagada was my constant companion. I also developed a serious addiction. The chewy-ness yet foamy-ness of the wonderful little "strawberries" makes it totally impossible to eat just a few. I felt like I was a drug addict - I would go a few minutes without eating some, and the bag was sitting right there, and I'd eat one... then a handful... and before I knew it they were gone. I'd try to hide them from myself, but I would just buy more then next time I was at Atac or Monoprix, and eat the whole bag before I got home. I have been off them (not by choice) for 3 years, simply because they are not to be found back in the USA. I'm seriously going to buy a whole truckload and have them delivered to my house. Although they may be gone in a week...
