We may need an Intervention

I have hit a new low. Probably not my lowest point but definately a new low. I have hit my three weeks here in China and I am jones-ing. Bad!
I know that I am fat and I know that the lack of food choices will be a contributor to my "hopefully" loosing some pounds. That said....
I want chocolate. I want Doritos. I want Taco Bell. I want Welch's Grape Jelly.

I have been to four different grocery stores. RT-Mart, Carefour, Metro and Sougo - all chinese grocery stores that advertise "International Foods". Five stores, if you include, Wal-Mart. Yes, there is an isle or two of foods from Germany, US, Korea, Australia, England and others several others. The American foods have similiar packaging and would lead the consumer to think that they taste just like home. Absolutely. Not.

I have tried the find chinese alternatives. Cookies, chips, soda, bacon, popcorn, salt, pickles. I got nothing. So today in a moment of desperation - I ate a spoonful of Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. See Photo. I may need professional help soon.

It was chocolatey. It did taste like Hershey's. It wasn't the same. Why you ask - texture. That is right. Texture. Go to your fridge and grab your Hershey's. We all have it - for ice cream or chocolate milk, to drizzle on our brownies or as a fruit dip or to line our chocolate martini glass or...just take it out and slowly pour it into a spoon. See how slow it cascades from its lovely brown bottle. See how it swirls into the spoon and makes the little rings of chocolate delight. Smell the perfect sugar to cocoa ratio as it fills the spoon. Sorry, was going into chocolate porn mode (shaking my head)....

....my Hershey's is, in one word, RUNNY - like water from a faucet.

Sad part of this tale...I ate it. Sucked it up like a coke addict and I did it again. Someone mail me a Snickers.
