I was talking to another one of the techs earlier, and he's the kind of person who loves anything sweet. Sweet tooth is an understatement. Me on the other hand, I like food food rather than anything sweet. I always take the frosting off when I eat cake. When I eat a lollipop, I throw it away when only half is eaten, and so on. I don't dislike sweet things, but i'd rather have a hot meal than cake, ice cream, or candy.
Would you rather have a steak and mashed potatoes or cake and ice cream?
