Your 80s Song is "Walk Like an Egyptian" |
![]() If you were transported back to the 80s, your life would be all about having fun. You love the wackiness that the 80s represented. Everything back then seemed a lot more colorful! You'd peg your jeans, get a "totally tubular" hair cut, and even wear one sequined glove. You would skateboard, play Pac-Man, and hang out at the mall. And of course, you would walk like an egyptian. |

Book Review: The Emperors of Chocolate: Inside the Secret World of Hershey and Mars by Joël Glenn Brenner

Book: The Emperors of Chocolate: Inside the Secret World of Hershey and Mars by Joël Glenn Brenner
About: Brenner focuses on the tale of the cutthroat competition between the Mars and Hershey candy companies (who control 75% of the U.S. candy market) as well as provides an overview of this delicious industry and the history of chocolate.
Pros: Fascinating, well-written and has lots of great information such as:
- 90% of candy purchases are unplanned
- Mars only has one peanut butter product (peanut butter M&Ms) because the Mars brothers hate peanut butter
- The chocolate in M&Ms is designed so you'll eat lots of them at a time
- 3 Musketeers used to consist of 3 bars, chocolate, strawberry and vanilla but was changed to one chocolate bar after strawberry prices rose
- Different cultures prefer different qualities in their chocolate. Britons think that Hersheys is gritty and awful compared to their smoother Cadbury brand.
- Dove solid dark chocolate bars are made from a secret type of cocoa bean that Mars won't divulge
- Hershey has pretty much zero international presence. Someone from another country probably would have no idea about the brand
- Fittingly, candy corn was once called chicken feed
Will create a trip down memory lane with all the old candies brought up, like my missed favorite PBMax. I had no clue the candy business was so competitive and secretive.
Cons: Unsatisfying conclusion. Those looking for a book on candy will probably be disappointed as it is really a book about business.
Grade: B+

You are willing to take risks and go to some pretty sketchy places in the name of your career. In modern times, you would make a good detective, pilot, or firefighter. |

You Are Somewhat Assertive |
![]() You are as assertive as you're comfortable with - which ends up being not that assertive. You will tell people what you want, but only in so many words. You're not very direct. Try being a little more straightforward, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable. As long as you're polite and honest, being more assertive will improve your relationships... and your life. |

You Are "alt" |
![]() Some people might find you to be strange, mysterious, and even a bit off putting. You tend to be drawn to and influenced by alternative lifestyles. You're definitely not normal. Once people get to know you, they realize you're interesting, intriguing, and very intelligent. You have a lot of knowledge stored in that big brain of yours. Most of it is useless knowledge, but some of it is very useful. |

Book Review: Passing for Normal: A Memoir of Compulsion by Amy S. Wilensky

Passing for Normal: A Memoir of Compulsion by Amy S. Wilensky
About: A biography of a woman with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Tourette's Syndrome.
Pros: Interesting, quick read
Cons: Wilensky tries for the typical inspirational ending, but it feels very out of place with the rest of the book.
Grade: B+

You Attract an Aquarius |
![]() When wacky, eccentric, independent Aquarius meet you, they've met their match. You're just as unique and outspoken as any Aquarius, and as a result, they feel instantly connected to you. And while you know you and your Aquarius are meant to be, you always allow for space in your relationship. The last thing your Aquarius wants is to feel fenced in. You know that in this case, absence really does make the heart grow fonder. |
