Really? I'm a bit anemic on this topic.
At least it doesn't have any pregnant pauses.3 -

This thread is raising all kinds of red flags for me.1

Perhaps your fellow co-workers are actually adults that find 'Skittles' and the like simply awful....0

Your data doesn't speak to addiction, but it shows that people have a preference for sugar when it's mixed with a lovely fat, such as cocoa butter. Throw in the a bit of cocoa and-- shazam-- all the pleasure centers firing at once!0

They're not addicted to sugar, they're addicted to love:

Agreed. It also indicates that it is an issue of food preference, not addiction.3 -

Does it? Why would you think this?
I would imagine we have all known people who smoke right? Does every smoker you know compulsively choose to have a cigarette every time they see a pack of cigarettes or see someone smoking?
What if they decide to bum a cigarette at a party? What does it indicate if someone who forgot their cigarettes chooses to decline a cigarette if someone offers them a menthol? Does it mean they are not addicted because they declined accepting a delivery method that they don't care for?
That's basically the argument you are making with your candy bowl analogy.1
