So what makes this jar any different from a regular pink-lidded candy jar? Answer — It is designed to bring a little bit of hell into your life.

Picture this. You wake up one morning and realize it’s grocery day. Or even if it isn’t, you decide to buy some groceries anyway. All the while looking forward to that one aisle. The aisle of milk and honey, literally. The candy aisle.

Then after filling your cart with enough sweets to kill a diabetic in an hour, you pay an absurd amount of money for them, and happily drive back to your place.

And there it is. Sitting on your counter top, staring back at you all innocent-like. You remember the $42 you spent on it, and drag that fistful of sweets into the jar. And then…you seal it.

The pros: You can supposedly set a timer on the lid, thus limiting the times you can get your hands on the goodies inside. Sounds like a decent enough diet plan eh? If you change your mind there is supposedly a consequence. They didn’t say what it is, but honestly if I were the kind to change my mind, I won’t let that fruity lid get in the way, I’m breaking it.

The cons: What about the other candies that didn’t fit into the jar? What if you just lose it and take them ALL out once it opens? Or what if you just reset the time whenever you snap? Why must it be clear, that you have to see the sweet stuff inside? You just spent all that time getting the candy, only to torture yourself and ultimately realize that this diet plan fails. Look deep into the jar… you know you want some…
