Classic/Creative Candy Advertising

According to the place I downloaded this image from, it's an advertisement for an Italian gelato that was banned in the UK, and under some pretty heavy fire in Italy.  I don't really understand the point of the advertisement except to cause a stir.  While I'm sure nuns probably enjoy gelato, and I'm sure pregnant ladies also enjoy gelato, putting them together in one package is just controversy overkill if you ask me.

I found this ad here.

Friday Candy Video - Candy Might Be Evil

I have to say that I'm pretty sure the candy industry isn't perfect, but I'm also pretty sure it's not pure evil.

Thursday's Candy Links

"Candy truck goes up in flames on I-80"... NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

How dangerous is that cup of coffee you're drinking... could it kill you?

When chocolate is warm, does it taste better? According to science, it might.

So it appears that god wants me to eat candy, I've found the sign.

Sweet Baptism

The other day I had the experience of going to my first ever baptism.  I think I was really fortunate because it was a Greek orthodox baptism, and apparently they know how to do it right.  I can't argue with that fact because the minute we left the church we started getting gifts, and best of all the gifts where all candy related.  This little splat of coloured chocolate is just one example.

We also got some little babies feet made of chocolate as well.  Sure it feels a little strange munching on chocolate feet, but the quality was spectacular.

We got these crazy (and slightly girly) hangy things.  Sure you might think I would be disappointed by this.

But alas, there was candy attached to the bottom, and everything was a-OK.

Lent Means No More...

They say that you should give up something for Lent.  This is the time between now and Easter and many times it should be food.  This year for Lent I've decided to give up Foie Gras, Lamb Fat, and Raw Oysters.  What?  You're supposed to give up something you like... What kind of holiday is this?!!
