    To me, it’s pretty simple:

    If the government takes from others to provide for you, those from whom you take, through the government, get to decide what you can and can’t eat.

    As for the rest of us, the government can keep its grubby paws off my plate, thank you very much.

    What? Only 16 oz of chocolate dipped cotton candy per purchase?

    Shit. Where are those people from? It’s just cotton candy. R says they act like there was a 50 year ban on cotton candy and now IT’S BACK! We’re beside ourselves. We don’t believe this is real.

    “This must be one of those ‘only Golden Corral’ kind of things.”

    Really? Only Golden Corral and not every fair, carnival, 7-11, and child’s birthday party in North America?

    The city of Richmond, CA (near Oakland) is putting a ballot measure that would put a 1c/oz tax on soft drinks:

    Soda tax

    That works out to about a 10% extra tax.

    In this way, the city fathers will conquer obesity and bring peace and harmony to the city.

    When are they going to install the chocolate spigots so you can just clamp on and open the valve?

    One month ago I wouldn’t have known anything about this. Just recently one of my children came back from their BIG field trip, which included dinner at Golden Corral, and that fountain and cotton candy were among the huge hits of the trip. The very next night my wife and another child saw this commercial while watching TV and had a great laugh. Maybe it’s a culinary tsunami, that will destroy us all but I doubt it and I don’t want some know-it-all bureaucrats determining my fate in ANYTHING. (…if only because they don’t know it all.)

    Cotton Candy on a stick contains 115 calories and is made from ONE ounce of melted and spun sugar + food coloring. I estimate the profit margin to be fucking near 90+fucking %!

    Golden Corral just didn`t fall off no turnip truck, I`d reckon….oooohhh and one of the quize that introduced it to America was a —–wait for it——-Dentist!

    (God, I lurve capitalism…)

    Not a big fan of cotton candy myself but hey, to each their own.

    They make Hot Tamales brand cotton candy.

    It’s actually pretty good, but you only see it in closeout stores around here, occasionally. Must be a back-East thing, like Clark Bars.

    I can’t wait to get to Golden Corral and eat chocolate that has poured over several hundred boogery fingers.
