Candy: The next battle in America’s health war?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/magazine/candy-the-next-battle-in-americas-health-war/2014/10/23/912d5102-427a-11e4-9a15-137aa0153527_story.html?tid=sm_fb&Post+generic=%3Ftid%3Dsm_twitter_washingtonpost
On almost every day of the year, Room W471 on the fourth floor of Chicago’s enormous McCormick Place convention center is as unremarkable as any corporate meeting room you might imagine. It is gray. Or perhaps beige. Or is it a dull blue? Never mind. It is the efficient non-identifiable hue of how business gets done in 21st-century America.
But on this day something magical is taking place in Room W471. I have arrived on the eve of the National Confectioners Association’s Sweets & Snacks Expo, and 20 or so of the candy world’s leading tastemakers and buyers have gathered and been tasked with a sugar-spun assignment: to sample dozens of new candies, chocolates and snacks in search of the most innovative new creations. It’s like a fine wine tasting for 9-year-olds.
Wending from table to table, these industry vets chomp on the best new candy America has to offer: Toxic Waste Goop Gum “Oozing with sour slime!â€; Tabasco Spicy Chocolate; Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups; Dubble Bubble Fizzers Fizzing Bubble Gum; Warheads Sour Dippin’ Pucker Packs; Too Tarts Sugar-Free Spray Candy in Gween Apple, Blu Bewwy and Straw Bewwy flavors; birthday-cake-flavored M&Ms; draft-beer-flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans. My reporting would be incomplete if I did not also tell you there is a new candy called Sour Farts.
If you don't like candy, than don't eat it. Gees, the left is such killjoys.

The people who manufacture these must be killed. From the highest executive to the lowliest janitor. /liberalnannystatist

Yet they still insist on selling candy corn year after year.

The Butterfinger peanut butter cups may be the one nugget in the in the gravel there. I'd certainly try them!

They're in the stores here. I had one last week.
I prefer Reese's; more peanut butter and smoother chocolate.
