I made the mistake of eating 15 -20 pieces of saltwater and laffy taffy today and my stomach is pissed off at me. And yes banana taffy is the best ! I will cherish the memory of the flavor, but probably won’t ever eat the stuff again after my own experience.

(Remind me to delete that cringeworthy question from my search history)..Needless to say, I've got my answer and managed to laugh through the excruciating pain caused by my purchase and subsequent gluttonous overindulgence of two 24 count 1.5oz individually wrapped bars of sparkle cherry/grape/watermelon laffy taffy.

I don't know why. just interesting.<br />I also think of taffy as being oily/slippery when melting and so turning to cement surprises me. <br /><br />I am ***always and forever more going to be reminded of you and this delightful (at your expense :) story when ever I buy salt water taffy at the shore.*** As a matter of fact .. when I see the banana flavor ..I may just bust out loud laughing! :)<br /><br />At the very least ..I will no doubt giggle when perusing the taffy assortments in the store.<br /><br />Not unlike my memories of a former ER blogging doc, Trench Doc. It's been a few years now and to this day, I can not walk down the cake aisle in the grocery store without smiling every time I see a box of Red Velvet Cake. Nor can I or my girlfriend approach a salad bar without *giggling like school girls and giving each other *the look* because of his Germaphobia post and subsequent comments ..one of them being the Throckmorton Salad bar Test. :)<br /><br />He gave me permission to put his Germaphobia post up and is in my favorites section on my sidebar. I hope you don't mind I mentioned these things, but want you to know..your writing has impact. LOL! Impact ..impaction ..ha ha ..no pun intended! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the entertainment. :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-44267503336400649452009-12-31T03:31:44.276-05:002009-12-31T03:31:44.276-05:00This was a great read.

I loved the self deprecating tone, makes you come across a very likable person. I have no idea about the taffy though, but I remember the night of agony my husband went through after drinking magnesium citrate, when preparing for a procedure. He must have used the bathroom over 20 times and was exhausted by the whole ordeal. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will never have to use the nasty stuff.Calhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204635978443190089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-78052244905497114632009-12-31T00:59:45.378-05:002009-12-31T00:59:45.378-05:00Well, I was with you about banana laffy taffy bein...Well, I was with you about banana laffy taffy being the best--however, I must say I will not be regarding them with the same, uh, relish from this moment on. <br /><br />So, thanks, Doc. <br /><br />; )Blessedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079902364989480862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-23357665861548153512009-12-31T00:29:36.833-05:002009-12-31T00:29:36.833-05:00You're so FUNNY!!! :)

Too bad they weren't banana jelly beans and then you wouldn't have needed the little brown bag. :)<br /><br />Banana taffy was always my favorite or else with Jersey Shore salt water taffy ..I like the root beer.<br /><br />I've had that stuff pre procedure and didn't know you are supposed to chill it. It may've helped... a little. The doc said I had a certain amount of time to drink it but it was so bad tasting that I decided to chug-a-lug the stuff ..except it tasted so bad ..that wasn't possible either.. but I think I did it within 5 minutes by absolutely forcing myself ..hitting the table to distract me and making lots of faces and shuddering after each swallow. UGH!<br /><br />Then the next awful part is when it hits your stomach like a big brick. UGH!<br /><br />On occasion with a ureteral stent..I've had to take milk of magnesia which very much reminds me of the mag citrate but not as strong. It causes nausea and inner oral cheeks to get all salty watery. Not pleasant. I wish I thought of the mag citrate with one early stent placement. Would've saved 3 days of bladder spasms.<br /><br />Well ..regarding the playful nurse ..pay back can be a .... in fun of course. ;)<br />************************<br />I have a serious question that I have pondered before and I hope you or someone can please explain.<br /><br />It's about the patients who present to the ER staff with a FB in the nether region:Well ..you know what ..I won't ask .. but suffice it to know that I am baffled that if big objects can go up (which I just don't see how possible in the 1st place)..it puzzles me that they can't come back down? Including overdue bms since obviously the region is *accommodating*?<br /><br />Thanks for the laughs. :)SeaSprayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07906503090688697222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558528804236989500.post-85174464205904164942009-12-30T22:52:15.209-05:002009-12-30T22:52:15.209-05:00I have to confess, this has been bothering me all ...I have to confess, this has been bothering me all day:<br />"By 11 a.m., the bin was empty, my fingers were stained yellow (despite multiple washings), and my stomach was lurching at anyone who approached me."<br /><br />Yellow-stained fingers?

We use the green bath basins, which double as "our" puke buckets to serve popcorn and the like in the ER. Having a cast iron stomach-have only one similar tale. After a hard,long 12 hour shift- decided to eat cheese puffs (I was HUNGRY-to tired to cook)and drink Cold Duck Champagne on empty stomach- for a virtual teetotaler, nondrinker. WARNING: bad combo! What was I thinking?? HORRIBLE-returned an orange and purple potporri to the porcelain God. Have only ever suffered one episode of acute constipation after birth of second child. My sympathies, doc! I had to resort to the Fleets AND Oil retention enema amongst other treatments as I was in pain up to my milk-laden chest! BTW, call Magnesim Citrate "Dynamite in a bottle." Works (not tastes) great and less filling-ha! Stay away from the Banana Laffy Taffy or better yet, prescribe it those presenting to ER for diarrhea!
