Maraschino cherries

I went to the store today FINALLY and got my food...I got a million fruits and veg but I grabbed some maraschino cherries because I adore those and they're only 10 calories 0 fat and 1 gr sugar. Are these bad for me to munch when I'm dying for sweets. I also got kumquats and really eager to try those! Let me know what ya think??

Kumquats are good, but they are kind of like chinese food.  The skin is very sweet but the inside can be considerably sour so I hope your into that.  

Ewwwe, whydga make me have to look it up?  My Christmas cakes will never be the same again!
