University at Forest Sweet Sensations T HESWEET tooth has the final word, and as any dessert lover knows, that doesn't just mean the end of a meal. Sweets are a way of life for some and an occasional privilege for others, but almost all agree that sweets fulfill the ecstacy of eating. What is a sweet tooth and can it be cured? No genetic or biological ex- planation has yet been discovered and the sweet tooth strikes all ages and sizes. Sugar craving attacks occur unexpectedly and the only known cure is the immediate sweet consumption. The more satisfying the sweet, the more successful the cure and the type of sweet directly affects the satisfaction factor. From ice cream to pastry to cookies to candy, they all fit the bill for a sugar craving cure. But every craving seeks a special solution and in the world of sweets, one selection from a wide variety of confectioner's delights may be impossible. To solve. this dilemma, the combination of two ro more sweets provides a viable option. Perhaps the ice cream cookie sandwich or pie a la mode will suffice. But if all else fails, the tummy busting sundae is a sure fire success. Sweet tooth syndrome is alive and well in Ann Arbor and when the craving calls, sugar suppliers are plentiful. -Julie Win okur 1 1 * Crispy corn . 1 I * FRESH e i CARAMEL & CHEESE : CORN 1 .1 1 FULL LINE OF NUTS & I CANDY & MUCH MORE 1 504 E.
