Comments Updated Now

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Well, put some butter on me because I’m on a roll.  The Candy Comments page has been updated today. Finally got a lot of things updated this week. I’d promise to try to do updates more rapidly, but I know I won’t be able to keep that promise.

Finally a Wrapper Update

Monday, December 7th, 2009

I finally got a chance to do an update, adding around 26 wrappers.  Check out the main page for more information as I also updated the Coming Soon page. Also, embarrassed to admit I totally forgot to update the coupon page until today.

Follow Up to Cyber Monday

Monday, November 30th, 2009

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.

Cyber Monday and Dark Chocolate Reese’s

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…)

Updated Today

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Finally updated the Comments Page. I have plenty of wrappers to add too, but just don’t have the time and/or energy. Soon, hopefully.  Enjoy your Halloween weekend.

Bits and Pieces

* First off…an apology. I’ve been neglecting my web site responsibilities. I haven’t updated the Candy Comments since the beginning of September. And I haven’t added any new wrappers to the wrapper page since early August. And I’m not blogging as much because I just don’t feel like writing. I’ll try to do better. (more…)

Super Bowl Contest, Questions, And An Update

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Snickers is still doing their stupid little Snickers language. Sorry, I don’t get it. I mean, I understand it, but I don’t like it. But nobody asked me. They’re carrying it on though through their Snickers NFL 2009 Sweepstakes contest where you could be a Super Bowl Chompion. Get it? Chompion instead of champion. Ho ho!! Hee hee! What am I, 5 years old? At any rate, grab a specially marked Snickers, enter a code, cross your fingers. Full rules at the web site, including how to enter without buying a Snickers. (more…)

More stuff that wouldn’t fill a whole post:

Makers of one of my all time favorite candy bars, Snickers, Mars Snackfood is partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Warren County. They will provide mentoring services to the Great Meadows Regional School District. Mars employees that volunteer will devote one lunch hour a week spending time with their assigned child by playing games, just talking, or hanging out. Seems like a cool way for people to give back. Maybe you could suggest that your work place do something like this…there are Big Brothers Big Sisters programs all across the country…or maybe volunteer at another organization. (more…)

Update and Rant

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Didn’t realize the Candy Comments Page was so far behind. Finally found some time to update the page with some comments. And while I have you here, a slight rant. (more…)

Wrapper Update!

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Finally updated the wrapper page!  37 new wrappers.  Would have been 38, but one of the ones I thought was new, I actually already had.  Oh well, that’s what happens when you have some 600 wrappers.  Wow.  600.  That’s a lot.  Anyway, head to the main page to take a look.
