The other day I was at my local Trader Joe’s and noticed that the Espresso Pillows, to which I am addicted in that way where I’m never out of at least one sealed container in my home nor a tin in my bag, were out of stock. “Relax,” I told myself. It was right after a holiday weekend, and a lot of things were out of stock that day. I had my stash. I was fine.

But then yesterday I went again, and not only were the Espresso Pillows gone, but the entire candy shelf was completely neatly stocked and there were these BULLSHIT peppermint stick things in their place! I don’t know what to do. I’m in distress. Dear Trader Joe’s: not only do I NEED these, and the quick hits of caffeine they provide, but they are literally the only candy I like! In the entire world! Please do not doom me and other caffeine-loving, sweetness-averse folks to a candyless existence. (Also, I have an OCD thing where, throughout the day, I need to suck on one of these to start a project, the way people do with cigarettes. Obviously, the only solution is to make sure I’m never out!)

I guess if you see these in a NYC-area TJ’s, please email me, and if you work at Trader Joe’s and make candy decisions, please bring these back. I beg of you.
