Most sour candies aren’t nearly sour enough for me. I am one of those weird people who will quite happily eat a fresh lemon wedge without flinching. When I happened upon this bag of Zours, which shows two aliens suffering from a serious case of Sour Eye*, I had to give these a […]

Mood Swing Sweets: The PMS Support Bar
In what might be the answer to every prayer ever muttered in a Cathy comic strip, Jamieson Laboratories recently unveiled the PMS Support bar, a chocolatear that the company claims can lessen the severity of PMS. For $19.99, the emotional buyer receives 15 small (think fun-sized) chocolate bars - a five day supply, […]
Candy Review: Ferrero Rocher
The Ferrero Rocher is part of a long and varied history of the Ferrero company, started by Pietro Ferrero in 1946 in Alba, a small town in Italy. Dear old Pietro had no idea that his confectionery would end up being eaten by chocolate lovers all over the world, although if you believe the […]
Retro Candy Flashback: Wacky Wafers
I hate bananas, I can’t dance, and I have no idea how to unicycle, but I would gladly dance upon a unicycle across the country in a giant banana costume if it meant the return of my beloved Wacky Wafers.
Wacky Wafers were a delicious candy once manufactured by the Willy Wonka Candy Company, which is […]

This month, I got to try […]

The Electric Company Presents: Candy Candles
For those of you who don’t remember The Electric Company, it was an educational show that ran on PBS from the mid 1970’s through the early 1980’s. The show was designed to teach elementary school children about reading comprehension, which it accomplished through a series of sketches, cartoons, and musical […]
Candy Review: Chuao Chocolatier’s ChocoPods
It’s always fun to come home to a big package from FedEx, especially when it’s something you didn’t have to pay for and it contains chocolate treats. This time the sender was Chuao Chocolatier and based solely on their packaging, they appeared to be a fairly upscale brand. As we all know though, packaging is […]
