Stop the Gob!

A recent hunger pang caused my husband and me to take a trip to the grocery store.  After tossing lots of healthy items into our cart (Kit Kat Bars, Hawaiian Punch and a few bottles of wine), we headed for the checkout. 

Hubby grabbed a box of candy called Gobstoppers.   I looked at him and asked the question that is probably running through your mind right now:

What are Gobs and why do we need to stop them?

I thought it was a silly question based on the silly name of a silly candy.  But a Gob is an actual thing.  If you are interested in finding out what a Gob is, read this article.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gobstopper

Otherwise, find peace in the knowledge that Gobs CAN be stopped and you are in no real danger.

  1. Interesting....I never knew it was even a real thing (besides a candy from the Willy Wonka movie).
