So very true!! My office is a minefield of candy jars. I try very hard NOT to see them. When I do, I want some. Simple as that. I don't keep what I shouldn't at home so that part is fairly easy.

This is fascinating. Of course, I'd recommend not having the candies around at all, but that's just an extension of the same pyschology. Gotta love statistics involving hershey's kisses...
