It started innocent enough, the produce manager was slicing
a melon for another customer as I walked past and offered me a slice. It was a
sweet explosion in my mouth. What are
these melons? Sugar Kiss Cantaloupe from Arizona. I was hooked.
It is like the best summer fruit sweetness sensation in
every bite. I am buying 2 at a time now, one that is ready immediately and one
to sit on the counter. I have shared some with friends and neighbors.
Last week my store was out of Sugar Kiss. The produce guy
thought they were promoting local and didn’t have the room for a week. I
traveled 12 miles to one of their other stores to successfully buy two.
The other night I noticed my husband eating some slices as a
snack. Now I am contemplating hiding my Sugar Kiss Cantaloupe. Yes I think I
have developed an addiction!
Here are my rationalizations:
There are worse things to get hooked on
It is only $1.29 per pound
It is not that fattening (ignore the presumed high glycemic
idex with all the sugar)
It will be gone in the fall
I am not thinking about my anxiety about not getting my
daily Sugar Kiss right now. Now I am savoring the taste!
Have you ever fallen in love with the taste of a fruit? Have
you ever become addicted to a fruit? Try the Sugar Kiss and join me in a sweet
addiction!

This is so funny but now I am craving cantaloupe! Heading to the grocery!
Thanks Rena, Me too!
I adore Honey Crisp apples in the fall and then oranges in the winter. I'll have to try your cantaloupe so I can start my fruit season earlier!
My ancestors were Indiana farmers and their word for cantaloupe was muskmelon.
I think you will like it Joy! I have seen muskmelons in the market and they look bigger than a cantaloupe but maybe it various varieties.
I love cantaloupe (musk melons) and in the summer when I serve lots of fruit salads cantaloupe is always included. But I have to admit that I don't know one from the other. I'm going to start looking when I go grocery shopping.
I'm also in a recovery program for melon. Water, honeydew, cantaloupe. My crack.
Karen once you find Sugar Kiss you will be hooked too. I really do sound like a pusher!
That makes 2 of us Carol!
Yes!! And Why can't the veggies be the ones with the sky high glycemic index? Anther Honey Crisp apple fan here, like Joy is.
Honey, or Sugar in a name of fruit just means yummy to me!
I love cantaloupes AND Honey dew melons. Very good for you!
It is a wonderful summer taste, all the melons!
I'm addicted to peaches - just the smell of them makes me happy!
I know! I am off to the market for peaches and one more Sugar Kiss Cnataloupe. I say that like the addict I am, just one more before they are gone, I promise it is my last one…..
yes I love cantaloupe too!
Thanks Paula. Who knew so many of us could fall for a melon!
