Wednesday's Candy Links

Denny's is offering a new special at their Las Vegas restaurant, it's called a wedding, and it doesn't come "smothered or covered".

This past weekend I was feeling pretty under the weather... maybe I should have eaten a chocolate bar.

According to a study, if I say "Women, chocolate will make you fat", then a large number of women will actually eat more chocolate.  According to my own personal study, "academics can get a grant to research just about anything".

In Vietnam, locally made Vietnamese candies are starting to gain in popularity.  I'm curious because I can't say I've ever tried any Vietnamese candy.

Why Food Trends Can Be OK

Lately I've been putting down the idea of "food trends" because I feel that they create an elitist attitude towards food and in my opinion limit the types of foods people will try.  While I still agree with this, I have to say there is one great thing about food trends.  They often lead cooks and food manufacturers to experimentation when dealing with trendy foods.  Case in point is Denny's bacon topped ice cream sundae, if bacon wasn't trendy we would never see this treat.
