We discovered yesterday a Blog entry on Sarat’s Web – The Web {B}log which was very complimentary to us here at Kandy X-Change and hopefully it will drum up a few more visitors to the site, the forum and maybe even the Exchange Club.
So thanks to Sarat and you can check out the Blog entry here.
I came across this website yesterday and thought hey what a great idea, especially the Candy Factory.
I haven’t seen the Candy Factory here in the UK but I suspect the Pucker Powder dispenser may be here - I will pay more attention next time I visit the MetroCentre (Mall) in Gateshead becuase I may have seen one there, so watch this space.
So here is the link to the Pucker Powder & Candy Factory site (these guys better be experts in candy because their website is pretty rough around the edges so they won’t get rich designing websites but you get the idea).
I hope the creator makes a ton of cash and makes a ton of customers happy with this interesting idea.
Romance : The art of slowly and seductively unwrapping your chocolate bar.
Diet : Cutting down from twelve to eleven chocolate gateaux per day.
Recipe : A formula to ensure that chocolate is included in everything from baked potatoes to onion soup.
Self Control : Saving half your box of chocolates until ‘later’.
Ultimate Act of Generosity : Grudgingly giving someone a square of your precious chocolate.
Love : A passionate need for another. Many believe that true love is only possible with one chocolate bar at a time.
Unrequited Love : When your chocolate cake just doesn’t seem to care about you any more.
Aphrodisiac: Chocolate covered oysters served with chocolate flavoured champagne.
Chocophobia : The totally logical fear that the world will run out of chocolate.
Glutton : Anyone who refuses to share with you or expects you to share with them.
Affair : Having a wonderful time with one chocolate ice cream while another is patiently waiting in the fridge.
Sex Appeal : Being so ‘hot’ that you cause chocolate to melt at first glance.

USA News - A local woman is seeking financial help from Abington Town Hall to pay her dentist’s bill after she broke a tooth on a Tootsie Roll she took from a candy jar in the town clerk’s office.
The incident took place last month when Joanne Harding went to the town clerk’s office in Abington Town Hall to get a license for her dog.
Harding, who now wants the town to help pay her $4,000-$5,000 dental bill, told the Patriot Ledger of Quincy, “I took the candy, so it’s partially my fault.”
“I wouldn’t have taken it if it wasn’t there,” said the 40-year-old woman.
The request for financial assistance has been forwarded to the town’s insurance carrier.
Town Manager Phillip Warren Jr. says he is waiting to see what the insurance company says.
However, the town’s office has still not replaced the candy jars at the clerk’s office.
