Mike’s Candy Wrappers Blog

Shoot. Meant to get on earlier and remind everybody about the offer from Old Time Candy Company for today only. They are offering free shipping on any order $25 and above. Just click this link and use coupon code cyber09. This promotion is good for anything they sell and for an unlimited number of orders, but cannot be combined with any of their other coupons and is good today (Cyber Monday, November 30th) only. Old Time Candy Company specializes in candy you thought was no longer available, and they also sell modern favorites. Candy is an awesome present and you can’t beat free shipping.

And I finally got around to scanning some wrappers that were stacking up. Still not sure when I’ll update the Main Page, but step one is done.

Happy Black Friday!  I’m writing this from the comfort of my home.  No, I am not venturing out with all the mad shoppers, but Laurie and I do have to swing by one of her co-workers house and check in on her cat while she’s away. While we’re out, there is talk of going to the cheapie movie theater and seeing The Invention of Lying. 99 cent movies. Can’t beat it. The theater is in a mall-type setting, but one of those malls that’s barely surviving and it won’t be until this afternoon so we should be good.  (more…)

Well, I already wrote about Dubai once, so why not again? Candylicious, a 10,000-square-foot candy store, recently opened there after ten months of planning. (more…)

Everything in moderation, right? I try. I really do. But I can’t with candy. I really need to start exercising and cutting back. It’s true what they say…so much harder to get into shape the older you are. So what I did yesterday did not help. No, not at all. (more…)

Wanted to mention this real quick since I just found out about it today and tomorrow is the last day. The Oakland County sheriff’s department in Michigan is collecting candy today and tomorrow to send out to the troops. They want individually wrapped pieces of candy, but no chocolate. I think that’s a pretty nifty idea and a way to get rid of some of that Halloween candy if you’re like me and are too tempted to eat any and all candy that is just sitting there. Check out the Oakland County sheriff’s department’s website for more information.  This is something that if you don’t have it in your area, you should think about starting one.  Just something to let them know we’re thinking about them.
