Maddy patiently awaited her best friend, Lynn, to return home from work. She’d been planning this surprise for months now, waiting for the order to arrive exactly how she wanted it.
Just as her mind wandered, the door unlocked. Lynn stepped inside to see her best friend sat by the door like a dog.
“What did you do?” Lynn asked, assuming something was wrong,
“Nothing! I just have a BIG surprise!!”
“Is this gonna be like the last BIG surprise you got for me?”
“Maybe… maybe a little better,”
“Alright,” Lynn said, throwing her keys onto the kitchen countertop, “what’ve you got for us this time?” She asked, sitting herself down at the kitchen table.
Maddy pulled two large paper bags out of the cupboard beneath her, “I present—” She started, making a huge deal of the surprise, “Alaska Blair’s Unusual Candy!!” She announced with the utmost excitement,
“Oh wow…” Lynn said, wanting to be enthusiastic, but ultimately very confused, “is it just candy?” She asked, then quickly corrected herself, “i-if it’s just candy that’s fine by the way! I love candy!!”
“I know I know, don’t worry,” Maddy said, “it’s ‘Unusual Candy’ from Alaska Blair’s store up in… uh… I can’t remember where but it’s a HUGE store in the middle of nowhere and they sell the most amazing and unique candies you can find!”
“And this is that candy?”

“Wow,” Lynn said, speechless, “I mean… I appreciate the Chocolate!” She said happily, “but what’s with the limitless candy packages? Surely it’s not actually unlimited,”
“I don’t know! There should be a warning on them or something,” she asked, checking. Lynn noticed it before her,
“Oh yeah, ‘Warning: These candies will change you, eat at your own risk. All orders come with an unlimited bag of ‘Alaska’s Return to Form’ Mint flavoured beans,”
“Sounds cool!” Maddy said, reaching into the bag.
“Change you?” Lynn questioned,
“Yeah!!” Maddy said with glee, pulling out her pack of sweet’n’sour gummies, “the whole thing is that the sweets change you!”
“Like… physically?”
“And mentally, from what I hear,”
“Huh…” Lynn replied, “I’ve never seen a food that can change you before, at least not ones that market it,”
“Me neither! That’s why I had to order it!!”
“Alright, cool. I’m sold on it,” Lynn said, reaching into the bag, “let me make sure we have the beans incase it goes too far,”
“Good idea!”

“So what’re we trying first?” Lynn asked,
“I don’t know,” she said, “I guess just reach into the limitless package and go for whatever’s first,”
“Sounds like a plan,” Lynn said. She took out the limitless package, it was a cardboard box with some words printed on the side of it, all for Alaska Blair’s store. She reached in and pulled out the first candy…
