5. Candy corns are very addicting although...

for me it was those chocolate covered cherries.. As a kid, I would eat so many, I would get physically sick... I have not had one for years now.. I know if I did, I would probably start to feel ill!!




Just looking at this makes my stomach queezy ..

6. "Made in the USA! " For now, but they will likely be outa here one of these days.

Lots of candy producers are taking their business, and jobs, out of the country. We support the price of sugar from mfrs, but not the end product. Consequently their costs for the raw product have doubled over last year, and are twice what they would pay on the wholesale mkt outside of this country.

They try to fight it, but the sugar producing states own their own politicians, so it's near impossible.

Story in the WSJ this week about this, this week, I think. Don't have it here. One place is taking 400 jobs South, and more are following or thinking about it.

8. They left out a few steps and ingredients

The tears of orphans and then infusing through mystic powers the evil that lurks in the hearts of all people into the glaze.

9. Vodka infused with CC

Don't have any of that..lol. Fun film and interesting. 35 million pounds is made a year. Enough to circle the moon 21 times so it's pretty popular. Always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Thanks
