    A sweet episode!

    This episode is definitely one of my favorites! It has everything! I always always always want to watch Charlie and the chocolate factory or Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory and get a whole bunch of junk food!! This is one of those shows that always makes you want to eat!!

    I think this episode really was one of the first episodes we got to see Lorelai deal with Rory growing up. She was so sweet dealing with it and props to Rory for being comfortable. I wouldn't have been as comfortable eating junk food at 16 with my mom and the boy I like but I also didn't have their relationship with my mom!

    An absolutely "sweet" favourite

    This episode is one of my favourites. It's the perfect episode to show what life is like for the two Gilmore's. It always makes me want to have a junk food movie night.

      [Rory is freaking out about Dean]

      Rory: I just don't want to do or say anything else that's going to be completely moronic.

      Lorelai: I'm afraid once your heart is involved, it all comes out in moron.
