It’s National Candy Day

Candy. It's a broad category. It includes hard, soft, sour, salty, tart, taffies, gumdrops,

licorice, candy bars, and chocolate. But really, in my mind, if it destroys your teeth if you try to bite it. That's candy.

When it comes to sweets, I break it down like this. Chocolate, Gum, Crap.

Sweet and Sour is garbage. Mike & Ikes, or Hot Tomales are nasty plain and simple. If you want a sugar rush, just grab a Chocolate Bar, then wash it down with a piece of gum.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Zero. Keep that crap away from me. Why in the hell would you want to cut your tongue up just to get to a Tootsie Roll. Just eat a Tootsie Roll.

During the Fair I always enjoyed watching Taffy get made. But that's it. When it came to eating it, it hurt. Suddenly my mouth was the machine. When something makes your jaw snap, you should avoid it.

So, since people consider Chocolate to be Candy, fine eat some Chocolate and say you participated in National Candy Day.
