Whenever we find ourselves at the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia, Brittany always pushes for candy necklaces at the sweet shop just visible beyond the central seating area. Actually, Brittany pushes for candy necklaces wherever they’re available, but this place has the candy corn I really like.
More than corn shapes, there are pumpkins and I think yams, and they’re delicious, but after a couple of days they start to harden up and go stale – which I actually find really reassuring,?particularly when I consider all the preservatives Brachs must dump into their vats of wax to turn out their batches of candy corn. Ahh, Unwrapped! You’ve spoiled it all by revealing the rubber gloves, hair nets and overhead florescent tubes that only serve to taint our sweetest childhood candy experiences.
But what do you think?
