When my son was in the Navy, he asked me to either send him something small that he could put in his mouth and eat right then, or else enough for the whole batch of friends. Said when he got a big box of my goodies, on his way back to his bunk there were guys beside him and behind him on deck and others running to catch up. So I sent him lots of goodies, with the exception of Skittles!!!
At Boy Scout camp some nice person donated crates and crates of them and for the summer the boys were on a sugar high!! Now he won't touch them!! And he's 42 now.
