Simpsons Stuff - Duff Flaming Moe Energy Drinks
For you Simpsons fans out there, what a cool addition to your memorabilia shelf than a can of Duff Beer Energy Drink or Flaming Moe Energy Drink! We have had the Duff Energy Drink for about a month now with the Duff mints and they have been a great seller for us in the Candy Store.
Just today we received our shipment of The Simpsons Flaming Moe Energy Drink. Its a bubblegum flavored energy drink that comes in a collectible, 8.4 oz can featuring Moe Szyslak.
More new products are on the way now for the holidays. I'll be posting more updates in the next week or so from our kooky candy shop in Carrollton.
Stay sweet!

Circus Peanuts in Lucky Charms?
While researching Circus Peanuts candy for this blog I was surprised to discover that Circus Peanuts were the inspiration of Lucky Charms Cereal in 1963! General Mills used shavings of Circus Peanuts to enhance the cereal and Lucky Charms was born.
The peanut shaped gummy candy was actually invented in the 16th century. Originally it
was produced as an orange flavor only available seasonally due to the lack of packaging available to preserve it. It was sold as penny candy and available in most five and dime stores. It was made available year round in the 1940s due to innovation in confectionery and polyethylene packaging.
Through the years circus peanut candy has been made in a variety of colors and flavors although the orange is the tried and true favorite. I would tend to agree. :)
Stay Sweet!
October 2010 - Mmmmmmmm, bacon candy more!
We have a small sign in our window that I change occasionally to highlight different items we have in the store. The "MMMMMMMMM....Bacon Candy" sign has been the biggest draw thus far.
We have had tons of people walk in and immediately ask "Where's the Bacon?". Our response is to point them in the direction of this display and talk them through our bacon stuff.
Shown here are the following:

- Bacon Lip Balm - Bacon flavored lip balm

- Bacon Dental Floss - If you have more time on your hands and still have bacon in your teeth, use this for a healthier mouth!
- Man Bait - Maple Bacon Suckers - Maple flavored suckers with a bit of salty bacon inside (these are my favorite, reminds me of when you have bacon that falls into the syrup from your pancakes..mmmm)

Got ZOTZ? Its Where the Fizz Is!
Zotz Fizz Power Candy
The original Zotz Fizz Power Candies were introduced in 1968. Within one year they had quickly become the hottest selling kids candy in the business. What made Zotz unique was the flavored fizz center which everyone found crazy & irresistible. Zotz is a hard candy manufactured by G.B. Ambrosoli. G.B. Ambrosoli is wholly owned and operated by the Ambrosoli family, in Como Italy, since 1920.
With new packages Zotz are sure to attract a whole new generation of Zotz customers. The original Zotz customers (like me) now have children of their own, and remain loyal consumers when they can find them. There are two different boxes of Zotz flavors; One box contains Lemon, Orange and Grape, the other has Cherry, Watermelon and Sour Apple.
New Candy!
