I found a thought on baud.baby's gopher pages that I really liked. It goes like this:
"A jawbreaker, or a gobstopper is a type of hard candy, usually they're colorful, round and usually pretty large. They're made through a process of layering, they roll around in a flavor or a color for a while until they absorb a thin coating of it and then they move on to the next.
They continue to accumulate fragile layers of flavor
and color until there
is an illusion of them being something of substance,
something interesting, but that illusion quickly fades.
The colors muddy, the flavors only loosely approximate
what they claim to be, they have no nutritional value
and at the end of it all they're hollow, physically
empty inside.
Life is short and valuable, don't spend it with things like jawbreakers.
Don't let them waste your time, don't lend them your flavor or let them steal your color. "
