If life is like a box of chocolates, do you eat your favorites first or last?

Not really using the simile, I’ve been eating a box of Godivas that were sent to me for Easter and I’ve found myself eating my least favorites first to savor the “best” last.

What about you? This is a fluff question for some light relief so putting it in Social. Take it any way you’d like. (Possibly NSFW)

I tend to delay gratification.

@ragingloli I’m too scared to even open your link. Is it a box of dead babies?

@canidmajor Do you like the caramels best?

Out of a box of See’s Nuts and Chews, I always choose the almond cluster first. But then I alternate between my very favorites and my less favorite.

It almost sounds like the marshmallow test.
I can usually wait for the good ones but it depends on whether or not I have competition for the caramels. :)

@lucillelucillelucille I guess you and I had better not share a box of chocolates. There would be blood!

@janbb -So you won’t trade the caramels for the fruit/jelly things? XD

@janbb – Why don’t you like them?

@janbb, I’m less of a caramel person and more of a solid chocolate or crepe filled, or with nuts. We might do OK, together.

@lucillelucillelucille I like them all, except maybe the coconut ones, but I LOVE the caramels!

Caramel is my favorite too. I can’t share with you people!

Nope. I do like the cherry cordials though.

I usually save the best part of a meal for the last, but when it comes to a box of chocolates, I eat my favorites first. The ones I don’t like, I may never eat, I may just discard them.

@jca2 Same here! I thought I was the only one who threw away chocolates I didn’t like haha!

@KNOWITALL: I feel like life is too short to waste calories on food I don’t like!

jca2 (16268points)“Great Answer” (1points)
janbb's avatar

@jca2 I agree with that.

janbb (62876points)“Great Answer” (1points)
KNOWITALL's avatar

@jca2 Agree!!

@janbb My husband mocks me relentlessly about cherry cordials. One box a year doesn’t hurt but Lord I hear about it the whole Christmas month.

So, the “holy trinity” that lends credence to saving the best to last is…

Foreplay
Sex
Sleep

Yes, I took it there & I know…what a surprise!

@janbb Took me a few years of having my older brother eating the ones I had saved for last.

If you always eat your favorites first your range of favorites will decrease. Like the old guy that just wants meat and potatoes. You can’t acquire acquired tastes, by definition, if you don’t go through the process. And here is where I am maybe controversial: The very best things in life ARE acquired tastes.
