Well, this is my last Mike and Ikes review for this weeks review-a-thon. This might also be the first time I've ever posted a review-a-thon based on one particular brand of candy. Allison commented about this last night, and she asked me why I chose to do this. I think the key reason I chose these as the subject of a review-a-thon is because I really didn't even know that so many varieties of Mike and Ike's existed. I knew that they had a few special editions, and I knew that Hot Tamales were like hot Mike and Ikes, but I really wasn't aware of this huge range that is apparently available all the time. Apparently I'm not the only one either, I've received a few messages from friends surprised that Mike and Ikes came in more than just one or two flavours. So I end this week having sampled some good, and some bad, Mike and Ikes, but I come away knowing that there are options.

Alex's Lemonade Stand is a pediatric cancer charity. It's fairly well known in the US and has a bunch of big-time corporate partners. Alex was a little girl with cancer. She started a lemonade stand to raise money for cancer research and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation was developed in her honor after she died.
From their website (www.alexslemonade.org)
"Just Born, Inc. and its MIKE AND IKE® brand is proud to announce a new partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. The MIKE AND IKE® Brand will make a minimum donation of $100,000 per year to this foundation to assist in the fight to cure childhood cancer."
Thanks for the info, a truly good cause.
