Too Much Sugar... For Your Drink?

For this new candy experiment I decided to look into the rumour that Pixy Stix used to be drink mixes. I tried each flavour, and may have blown the lid off this crazy idea.

It's Just Sugar In A Straw... Or Is It.

Pixy Stix are probably one of the most mocked candy out there. The general assumption is that it's just sugar in a tube. While I can't deny that these are very sugary, and they are in a tube, there's something a little more to these. I'll be honest, I've eaten a few honey and maple syrup based candies that one could also argue is just sugar in a straw, but because Pixy Stix use dry sugar they get a bad rap. I'm not really here to defend Pixy Stix, I just feel like they don't deserve as much mocking as they get.

Ready my full Pixy Stix review.

A Sweet Candy Thing

One of my favourite things as a kid was getting a Valentine's Day card that had candy attached to it.  It adds so much more to get something sweet to eat, as well as a fun message.  It's funny, I don't really remember at what grade we stopped giving Valentine's Day cards to our friends, but it must have been pretty early on.  I can't recall ever getting cards in High School for sure.  Every so often though, I head over to the local card or drug store and pick up a box of Valentine's cards.  I fill one out for each one of my friends, and hand them out.  I get a mixed reaction, some are confused, some think it's sweet and nostalgic.  I'm sure more people would like them if I attached some candy as well.
