Am I the only person who gets really hungry when people talk about the planet earth? A thick, hot, molten center encased in a delicious crisp crust? It sounds like a giant galactic truffle or something. Sometimes I think I might have a mild fixation with food. Eating is fun I guess.
Also, sometimes chewy candy is referred to as a "dragee" on the packaging. What in the name of god is a "dragee"? It's a mentos! and a mentos alone! I have now decided to look this word up.
–noun
1. a sugarcoated nut or candy.
2. a small, beadlike piece of candy, usually silver-colored and used for decorating cookies, cake, and the like.
3. a sugarcoated medication.
Origin:
1850–55; < F; OF dragee, dragie < ML drageia < MGk *dragéa, for Gk tragma sweetmeat, dried fruit
It seems like there is actually nothing to disprove the validity of "dragee"; however I am still kind of furious about it. It's hard to explain why.
