Anything is better than eating the candy corn

I have to agree Sedgwick, that’s about all those waxy little kernels are good for!

He’s just cobbling it together.

I think of them as bum’s teeth.

One Easter I got a large chocolate bunny. I kept it in my cupboard for months waiting for a special occasion. When I finally unwrapped it it had turned white.

If you have all the candy you want all year round, it’s not that big a deal to save some of it.

I don’t know about Nuttingham traditions, but he’s definitely a nutter.

We didn’t resolve the mystery of the missing tootsie rolls yesterday.

Perhaps he’ll make some candy popcorn.

How does he not have ants?

He should plant them in the big rock candy mountain.

Can’t spell Nuttingham without “Nut.”

Alas when I went to the drug store to get my flu & Covid booster yesterday, the only marked down candy left was candy corn…a few hundred bags of the stuff. I wouldn’t worry about hoarding the stuff.

I’m sure he must have some staff member do the actual gluing for him. :)

I like candy corn and can’t find it lo these past 5 years.

Meddick has put a finger on what motivates super-rich people (or the merely rich-rich). Paul Krugman has had a bit of a discussion about that, recently, he suggests that adding to an already colossal fortune is a matter of “scoring points”, and having even some trivial fraction taken away is something like lèse majesté or an insult to one’s honor.

After two weeks candy cane breaks the most harden teeth. A dentist will make a fortune off your teeth.

Every one needs a hobby…………..

If Jarvis weren’t such an uptight toadie, he might slap some sense into your silly Nuttingham head, Sedgwick! Hoarding candy rather than eating it is way beyond merely dumb!

Unlike some assets like gold or real estate, candy has a limited lifespan. NOT a good long term investment.

Kind of like the people who buy toys but never actually play with them because they want to keep them in the original package.

yummy, glue.
