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.

Sweet Travel In The USA

If you're planning a vacation in the USA here are two places you might want to consider:

If you're checking out Mt Rushmore, you most certainly want to make a stop in Keystone.  In particular you might want to check out what the locals call "Sweet Street".

Also, if you happen to be in Las Vegas, you most certainly want to include the Sugar Factory, with their huge collection of high end sweets, into your agenda.

I Always Thought My Love Of Candy Made Me a Nerd

But as it turns out many "cool" people also love candy, and love it enough to make public appearances at candy stores.  It almost looks like it's becoming trendy to visit some candy stores.  Maybe I'm not a loser sitting at his computer writing about candy all day, maybe I'm a trend setter.

The One Million Dollar Lollipop

My only question about this "One Million Dollar Lollipop", is why Kim Kardashian gets to have it.  Sure I think I deserve it a little in a self centered way, but I also think that I've done a lot for the candy world.  Sure she's a fine actress, and she seems like a nice lady, but what has she done to support the candy world?  If Ms. Kardashian is reading this (like that would ever happen), I'm begging you, can I just taste it, I'll lick from a part that you haven't licked yet, and I'll  clean it off when I'm done.

World Chocolate Master Crowned

A chef in Las Vegas was just crowned "World Chocolate Master". This is the kind of tittle that I feel can best be shown off by wearing a giant belt with your tittle written in gold across it. Mr Bortolini you are a champion of champions.

I Love Promoting Candy Stores

I love the idea of telling the world about candy stores. Big or small it doesn't matter to me, I love going into each and every one of them and I love the people who own them. It takes a certain mindset to decide that selling sweet treats is the life for them.
