Making your own prom dress can go one of two ways: you can end up with a Pepto-Bismol trapezoid with sleeves and a lace doily collar, ala Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink, or you might end up with a rainbow-inspired prom dress like the one designed by Theperilouspopsicle, a poster on […]

One of the first things I do upon meeting someone new is to check out their shoes. Although this probably makes me shallow and superficial, you really can learn a lot of helpful shallow and superficial information about someone by glancing at their footwear. Obviously, I go through life assuming that people will likewise judge […]

If I had a business card that stated the adjectives most appropriate for describing me, the first one would definitely be “Candy Addict.” The second? Nerd. I love sci-fi and computers almost as much as I love candy. Come to think of it, I’m happiest camped out in front of the TV watching Star Trek […]

Stumped for what to get your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day? Want a present which is sure to make an impression? Chocolate Pasties might be just the thing you’re looking for! Some time ago Brian reported about candy undies (for women and men - *shudder*). This version is for the chocoholic in you! The good people […]

First, let me excuse the look on my face by saying I was freshly strapped into my cast and had just taken a pain pill with my Snickers bar.
An athlete’s nightmare, a Candy Addict’s dream: a fractured tibia (shin) courtesy of a soccer opponent. Since I’m both an athlete and a Candy Addict, for the […]

I was in New York City with some time on my hands a few weeks ago and I figured my time couldn’t be better spent searching out some candy! I decided to check out the 25,000-square-foot M&M’s World Store that opened its doors to the public in December of last year. The thing that […]

Tootsie Rolls can do more than just fill your belly with delicious chocolate-y goodness. Thanks to the good people at Fred Flare, they can now keep your neck warm too.
If it weren’t for the fact that 1) I don’t wear scarves and 2) my coworkers would mock me relentlessly for wearing a giant Tootsie Roll […]

One of my favorite online T-shirt shops, Threadless, has come out with a new t-shirt that isn’t exactly candy-related, but it’s chocolate, so it’s close enough. It’s called The Elusive Chocolate Moose. I don’t think it’s quite as good as the Operation Sweet Tooth t-shirt (that’s still out of stock) I wrote about […]

Unlike fellow Candy Addict Caitlin, I’m not a fan of licorice. My mind can never parse the idea that this stuff is meant to be candy. However, I can certainly appreciate when someone comes up with a creative use for the sweet, like this winner of a unique fashion show that […]

I am a nut for T-shirts, and I have been dying to get some Candy Addict Tees printed up (mainly because I want one) so I’m finally going to do it. Problem is, I don’t have a design! So, let’s see if some reader (or friend of a reader) can come up with a great […]
