Sweet Relief!

So for my first post I’ve got some news! Mars® named Chicago as the city most in need for sweet relief so the chocolate company is parked outside of Tribune Tower handing out full size candy bars of M&M’s®, Snickers®, Milky Way®, Twix®, Dove® and 3 Musketeers®!!! (MAN I love working downtown!!)

I am wondering why Chicago was voted most in need – probably because of all the 2016 Olympic Games stress but can I be honest, I’m not stressed about that. Come 2016 when the games are here -thats when I'll be stressed. Hand out the friggen chocolate then!!

Also struck me as funny as I looked out my office window (I work in Chicago’s landmark Wrigley Building) and watched the masses crowd the poor innocent candy men and women spreading chocolate, cheer and calories – you’d think they were handing out $10 bills! Was I one of them you ask – one of the Chicagoans to capitalize on this chocolate opportunity… you bet you booty I was! I got my token Twix® bar – you better believe it!

Something else I pondered as I walked away tearing open my Twix… would Michigan Avenue be up in arms at the Trib Tower if they were giving away free apples… doubt it folks! Not sure if I would have intentionally gone out of my way to cross the street to get my hands on a free apple… not because I almost always bring one in my lunch anyway but because its healthy and typically nothing to get excited over. Did I enjoy my free Twix® - better believe it!

Thanks Mars® - I feel “Relieved” – Mission Accomplished!
