Hershey’s has a new promo designed to get you buying their products and saving the wrappers. It’s called WrapperCash. New Hershey’s wrappers will have WrapperCash logos on them - collect them for great prizes (no, that old stash of Hershey’s wrapppers you have won’t work).

I am constantly amazed at the serious artwork that is made with candy. Check out this amazing human heart made out of Necco Conversation Hearts done by famous Lego artist Nathan Sawaya. It even has veins running through it made with purple hearts!
