Apple

What kind of person doesn’t love apple candy? Who wouldn’t want a handful of Green Apple Jelly Belly beans, or a mouthful of Apple Jolly Ranchers? Can that person be trusted? No one in their right mind could deny the tastiness of Apple Now and Laters, Caramel Apple Pops or Candy Apple Original Gourmet Lollipops. Some would say that person was crazy!

Now we think ‘crazy’ is too strong of a word, a bit harsh. However, according to numerous psychiatric journals and scientific studies, 99 out of 100 people who do not love, or even like, apple candy trace their distaste back to painful childhood experiences that they have not been able to properly deal with as adults.

According to Dr. Michelle Phillips (who has treated hundreds of people suffering from this apple candy disorder), having your Green Apple Frooties stolen from you on the playground when you were 8, or having your older brother eat all your Appleheads candy in front of you when you were 5 and powerless to stop him can have a lasting negative impact. Dr. Phillips expressed that these types of experiences have been shown to alter one’s feelings toward apple candy, associating the candy with a traumatic experience.

If this is you, we at Temptation Candy implore you to get help. Stop living in the shadows of your repressed memories. There is so much apple candy out there for you to enjoy. There are numerous psychiatric resources out there for you, many of them free and anonymous. If you reside in the greater San Diego metropolitan area, please reach out to Dr. Philips.
