Definitely the cost. They like charging for individual packaging. But, it was also the nutritional value, for us. My mom liked to call Koolaid and...Squeeze Its? Man, I need to look these up. XD Anyway, she called them "sugar water" and wouldn't buy them most of the time. We loved it when other parents brought them for all the kids after soccer games. XD
I used to eat a ton of candy, though I do still binge now and then. Candy and snack-type junk foods are kind of two different things for me. XD I don't buy as many of the snack-type things anymore because I'd rather have, like, beansprouts and nappa cabbage *is lame*, but I still love candy. *___* lol For a while when we were young, we were limited to 50 cents of candy per day, which always bothered me because some candies were over 50 cents, and I could never buy them~ XD
I'm sure you have wonderful eating habits, minus the starbursts - I've seen your pictures, skinny buns! :P Someday I'll post more personal pictures in a filtered post so my online friends can see me without making me nervous that Japanese TV stations are out to get me. O.O I just oddly started eating better once I got out of the house - and the dorm, ick. All the food there was soggy and/or greasy, so even though I had a meal plan, I still bought groceries and cooked in the one (dirty) kitchen downstairs.
