TULSA, Okla. - May 2 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Most conventional wisdom would exclude or limit candy in the diet of anyone wanting to lose weight. In his new book, “The Candy Diet - Taming the Hunger Monster” (ISBN 978-1-58736-766-3), author Mark Underwood says that candy does in fact have a place in your […]

What do love potions, horoscopes, and green M&M’s have in common? They’ve all been used as instigators of love at some point. Yes, believe it or not, M&M’s fans thought that the green-colored candies acted as an aphrodisiac. Back in 1984, East Texas State University anthropology student Denise Boesewetter asked people to name what they […]

Boy, do I love chocolate. I love milk chocolate; I love dark chocolate; I love white chocolate; I love all chocolate. And that’s why it pains me to move towards the growing American trend of a healthier lifestyle. To a typical health freak, chocolate is a no-no. This means if I opt to follow the […]

Apparently, some candy man thought it was a great idea to use hemp essential oil to create candy that taste like marijuana. And voila! Products like the Pot Sucker and Kronic Kandy are born.

I thought I’ve heard them all. Wear your lucky boxers, kiss the rabbit’s food, throw salt over your shoulder, take an Adderal, or pray to your god. Students relied on these various methods to perform better on their standardized tests. Though I’m not superstitious nor extremely religious, I remember when I had to take my […]

Without a doubt, supermodel Tyra Banks knows a thing or two about fashion. On March 14, the girls from this season’s America’s Next Top Model had a photo shoot where they didn’t model clothes. Instead, they wore candy! This got me thinking about candy as clothes. Is it possible? Better yet, is this a revolutionary […]

I spent the past five days in utter bliss. I left the blizzards of Pittsburgh behind and baked poolside in 90 degree weather in Acapulco, Mexico. The best part of my trip? The open bar, where I was able to sip Strawberry Daiquiris and Bahama Mamas all day and all night long.

You can only […]

I am not a fan of big changes, especially when I’m comfortable with the current state of people, things, and situations. I’m wary when my favorite restaurant hands me a new menu. It even bothered me when Bazooka gum and Cracker Jacks both changed their original packaging. Sure they still taste the same, but why […]
