Top 10 movie theater candy

Summer is upon us, and that probably means you’ll be spending a lot of time at the movie theater. Forget about the popcorn (Here’s an insider secret from someone who used to work at a movie theater: it’s usually stale because a lot of places store uneaten popcorn in trash bags for the next day); you’ll enjoy your movie a lot more with a candy treat – and you won’t have to worry about getting butter everywhere.

Top 10 Candy Songs

Having a stressful day at work? Think a sweet playlist will make the world seem a bit brighter? Listening to songs mentioning candy and sugar always put me in a good mood so I thought I’d share with you some of my favorites…and some of the sweet history behind the tunes.

10. Sugar Shack, Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs

Of course all of us present-day sugar fiends love this song, but apparently there were just as many sugar fiends in 1963. Though this New Mexico-based group got their start as an instrumental group, it was “Sugar Shack” that put them at No. 1 on the Billboard chart in ’63.

Top 10 Candies That Remind Me of Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is just so hot these days. His music beckons teenage girls to cry and scream over and over again. Since he’s just a “baby” himself, I thought that he probably, most likely, LOVES candy. Now, this Top 10 list is not a list of candies that Justin Bieber eats himself (well maybe a couple of exceptions).

If you’re a Bieber fan and like his music, I hope that you’ll enjoy the Top 10 candies that remind me of Justin Bieber.

#10: Sour Patch Kids

Sour Patch Kids 2 ounce Bag

Sour Patch Kids used to be Justin’s favorite candy. But, after mentioning that they were his favorite candy, he began being pelted by them on stage during his concerts.

#9: Crime Scene Tube Candy

Crime Scene Tube Candy

I know that this may not make sense to you but the Crime Scene Candy Tubes are in this list for two reasons. One, in honor of YouTube, where Justin posted many of his early videos to get started. And, two, because it would be a “crime” not to listen to Justin’s music.

Top 10 Wished-For Candy

A lot of the time, I wish candy companies had a suggestion box that went straight to the candy makers themselves. If such a thing existed, I would constantly bombard them with my dream concoctions of how they could revamp their products. This is a Top 10 list dedicated to candy I’d most like to see hit the shelves.


Fruit Stripe Lollipop

10. Fruit Stripe Lollipops: I, like all chewers of Fruit Stripe Gum, love the flavor, but hate how it disappears so rapidly. The solution? Make it a lollipop! You can lick, suck, and munch on the flavor all you care to, and for true lovers of gum, you could always insert it in the center.
