Super Target

Last night, my wife and I decided to go see a movie. We thought we'd go to Target on the way, to pick up a few things we needed, and also some snacks to take to the theater.

This was no ordinary Target. This was a Super Target. And it was fantastic.

A Super Target is like a regular Target with a grocery store added in. The grocery part of Super Target is pretty similar in size to your average grocery store - with about the same number and length of aisles.

Except . . . an entire aisle is dedicated to candy. They have lots of boxed candies, your typical twizzlers and snickers and bubble gum. They also have their own Target brand candies, which aren't that fantastic, but have cute packaging. Nothing like the Japanese candy packaging discussed earlier, but cute, nonetheless.

And then . . . they have about 40 dispensers, with any flavor of Jelly Belly you might desire, and with different flavors of M&Ms. I ended up with just under one pound of raspberry, cappuccino, caramel, vanilla, orange, lemon, marshmallow, and fudge M&Ms.

The movie was exhausting. We saw Babel, which is mostly two and a half hours of watching people making one terrible mistake after another. Very good, but like I said, exhausting. But the M&Ms, they made it totally worth it. So now I'm finishing up my multi-flavor candy-coated chocolates and studying civil procedure. Happy Saturday!
