  2. Downith: You've never eaten a Nutty Bar? Oh, you haven't LIVED until you do! Not surprised they don't carry Little Debbies there in England, but I thought they might in Canada, which is where you're originally from, right? Nutty Bars are my favorite grocery store confection: chocolate-covered wafer bars layered with peanut butter. Well worth a New Year's Resolution failure.

  3. I agree with your choice of #1 turning the water into wine. All that wine can cover any concerns or imperfections found in the other nine reasons!
