Yes, that’s right, we were on TV Sunday. We were on Current TV’s Google Current segment (yeah – I hadn’t heard of it either). According to the site, “Current is a national cable and satellite channel dedicated to bringing your voice to television.” I don’t get this channel in my area, but a reader named Dani saw it and let me know about it.
In the 3 minute, 40 second segment (titled Gummi Chicken Feet), they talk about ice cream, mention a motorized ice cream-licker at Stupid.com, mention OldTimeCandy.com, Chick-O-Stick, and right around the 2:15 mark they mention Candy Addict! They start out mentioning my review of deep fried Snickers then go on to talk about the Weird Candy category here on Candy Addict and mention Chocolate Cat’s Tongue, Gummi Chicken Feet, and they finish off the segment with the Explosive Chocolate Bomb.
They are even using one of my photos of a deep fried Snickers as the icon for the segment. You can watch the whole segment online on the Current TV website. Did anyone else catch it on TV?
I’m just a guy who likes candy and started a website – do you know how cool it is to be mentioned on TV? Even if it is a little-known channel? I was thrilled when we were mentioned in a newspaper and on the radio! Just had to share. :)
(Thanks again to Dani for telling me!)
Congratulations!! That’s awesome! (Wouldn’t have killed them to let you know beforehand, though!)
