When one has a serious craving for candy or other junk food, and starts searching their home frantically to find some. Usually, this occurs because one knows they have no sweets, but is desperately trying to find something to satisfy their craving. It usually involves looking through cabinets multiple times, and even contemplating eating fruit.

Guy #2: He just went on a huge sweet search, but he found nothing. I think he reverted to eating fruit.
Guy #1: Good Heavens!!!
