Eye Candy: Ferris Wheel in Fog

One summer, our friend Mark visited me while I was vacationing down the shore with my family in Ocean City, NJ. He took this amazing picture of the Wonderland Pier’s Ferris wheel when it was shrouded in nighttime fog. It’s one of my all time favorite photos.

Giant Paddles

I wonder if we’ll ever be making candy in huge enough batches that I’ll need a 5-foot paddle to stir the sugar + water together?

Right now, a standard wooden spoon still fits the bill :-)

New Packaging Pictures: Celebration Time

Back in grad school, there was one semester where Tuesday was just this unbelievably long stretch of classes - four two-hour lectures in a row, I think. I and my other two roommates would stumble home, brain dead. More often than not, we'd order a Large Nachos Grande from a local Mexican place and mix up some margaritas. Then we'd all lift a glass and toast to: Tuesday!!!

I think maybe celebrating the end of the day with some Celebration Time lollipops would have been better for our brain cells.

Bulk and Custom Orders

We've been casting an eye on our Q4 production schedule for awhile now, and it's clear that any bulk or custom orders just aren't going to be possible until 2011. If you've already contacted us, your order is being worked on/taken care of - but please don't ask for any new orders. We can't do it.

We'll always fill a Mixed Bag order when we've got the inventory on hand though. Always feel free to ask about that!

Eye Candy: The Lollipop Guild

Well, maybe it’s more of an earworm than it is eye candy, but this classic clip from The Wizard of Oz is definitely colorful…!
