The sounds of the candy being crushed appealed to my sweet tooth.  And my weakness and impatience for sucking on candies.  I naturally just eat most hard candies in one bite.  Moreover, the candy crush sound effect massages my happy place (in my mind).  Every single time.<\/p>\n<p>With every crush, I feel the taste of a lemon drop, a chiclet, a blueberry jelly bean, a cinnamon jellybean and a purple candy.  It doesn&#8217;t help that I pretty much have similar candy that I arbitrarily purchased in Philadelphia in May, sitting on my desk.  They&#8217;s shaped like fish.  But every time that I look at them, I think CANDY CRUSH SAGA.<\/p>\n<p>I would love to say that I have very good self-control for not dipping into micropayments of 99 cents for extra boosts and extra lives.  Yet the primary reason that I cannot is that I don&#8217;t have the password for my iTunes account (complicated reason).<\/p>\n<p>But if I did, would I submit to addiction?  Would I see more candies being crushed every moment?  The fact is that the &#8220;energy buildup&#8221; game mechanic tickles my want-to-play center.  It&#8217;s as if the game was designed for my psychology.  That it understood what made me crave and desire.  Too much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really mean candy crush. That is, Candy Crush Saga. Just to be clear, I have not fallen to the prey of easy micro payments.
