This gives new meaning to "eat me"
Apparently there's a candy convention in Chicago this week. A candy convention???? And I just found out about this? I could be there, drowning in chocolate, peanut butter and caramel. Instead, I am stuck at home, drowning in nothing but shame for not knowing about this sooner.
Anyhow, it sounds to me like the people at this candy convention are "inventing" candy. Sometimes it makes a good combo. I dare you to find a better marriage than peanut butter and chocolate. Go ahead, try. I dare you.
Can't think of anything, can you? However, some ideas are bad. Know when you get a box of chocolates, and there's that one with chocolate and some kind of fruit filling? What the hell is that?
There's a new candy that I think could be either a hit or miss. I'll let the Sun-Times explain:
Mars is taking its already popular special-order M&Ms beyond messages or custom colors. How about your own picture on M&M's chocolate candies? You can do that starting next month, when Mars Snackfood U.S. allows customers to have the candies imprinted with their images.
Upload a photo portrait at MyMms.com, create a message and choose from about 17 colors.
Yes... Nothing says I love you quite like giving someone a bag of candy with your picture on it, so that when your sweetie scoops up some M&M's, there's you staring back at her. Maybe you can give her a mix CD with "Every Breath You Take" on it 20 times in a row, too!
