Is it any wonder I drink? (3)

Existentialist candy?

Hmmn. Best one I can think of would be Zero candy bars.

I do remember a Simone de Beauvoir quote which seems more appropriate to Proust:

"I would stand transfixed before the windows of the confectioners' shops, fascinated by the luminous sparkle of candied fruits, the cloudy luster of jellies, the kaleidoscope florescence of acidified fruitdrops -- red, green, orange, violet: I coveted the colors themselves as much as the pleasure they promised me."

Will my son say: "I would stand transfixed before the screen of the Play Station ..."?
