button dots had a fancy name? i never knew. and i ate a lot of them. danish ribbons… interesting.
i ate a lot of pez too back in the day though i remember them tasting sort of like chewable flinstones vitamins. mmm candy. do they still sell snowflakes? (mini non-pareils)
also 900 sqft sounds kinda huge for a candy store, no? either they’re going to have to sell a boatload of candy or is it going to be super expensive like the loathesome dylan’s candy bar?
Economy Candy in the LES sells probably all the above mentioned, and I’m pretty sure I saw candy cigs there too.
LOL @ “sugar fags”. that totally sounds like the name of a horrible band from bushwick
*rob*
“Danish Ribbons”
Weren’t those the long strips of white paper with sugar “dots” attached? I must have eaten a notebook full of those back in the day.
“arent candy cigarettes illegal now? 🙁 that’s so lame.
I thought this was true also, but Wikipedia says:
In the United States a ban was considered in 1970 and again in 1991, but was not passed into federal law.[citation needed] The U.S. state of North Dakota enacted a ban on candy cigarettes from 1953 until 1967.[1] In Canada federal law prohibits candy cigarette branding that resembles real cigarette branding[2] and the territory of Nunavut has banned all products that resemble cigarettes.[3]
Also, Wiki relates that candy cigarettes are called “sugar fags” in the UK.
if the shop owner is reading, peeps year-round. i would eat them all the time. yum. also i miss button dots, even though you’d end up eating a sheet of paper
rob-don’t forget about candy flavored condoms.
