All In The Name Of Science

I have a lot of challenges, mostly mentally, and I do not dispute this.  I always seem to be willing to do things, sometimes because a challenge is issued or even for scientific purposes.  This time around, I think I’m being called upon for scientific purposes.

Christina told me to try these new Zero Sugar Twizzlers, which I want to say just recently released into the wild.  This is not because she knows that I’m diabetic or that I have an affinity for licorice.  I don’t even eat candy that much anymore, though has nothing to do with my being diabetic.  I don’t really care much for licorice.  No, in this case, Christina is doing this because she wants me to experiment on myself.

Someone told her that Zero Sugar Twizzlers cause major gas.  She is reluctant to try these herself, out of fear that there might be some truth to this.  So, she does the next thing, I guess.  She asks the Visionary to eat them and see if it leads to excessive gas.

Without giving it any thought, I told her I would do this and report back my findings, almost like this was some kind of experiment that we were getting paid to research and perform.  Truthfully, I haven’t had major gas in years so, maybe on a subconscious level, I want to be gassy and attribute it to some variety of sugar-free candy.

I am hoping that there is some measure of truth to this, even a little.  This would then create some interest in this product and could lead to many people trying it, on my testimonial alone.  I know that Christina would spread the word too and really make it known that I did the research on this, all at her request.

First things first though.  I have yet to find this stuff on store shelves.  I don’t want to make a mission out of this, to find this potentially flatulence-causing candy, but damn, if it’s all in the name of science, we just might have to.
