On a lighter note, here is some trivia about one of my favorite things ~ CANDY!
Fun fact: Many people associate this candy bar with legendary baseball player Babe Ruth (the candy's web site does feature a baseball stadium), but it was actually named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, who was often called "Baby Ruth."
Fun fact: The technological wizards at Peeps have cut the manufacturing time down to six minutes to make one marshmallow chick, down from 27 hours in 1953. Their wings were "clipped" in the 1950s to give them a "sleek, modern look."
Fun fact: Kisses first appeared on candy-store shelves in 1907. No one knows where the name came from but some believe the moniker mimicked either the sound or motion of the chocolate being deposited onto the conveyer belt during manufacturing
Fun fact: According to the National Confections Association, more than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That’s 9 billion pieces (63 billion calories), enough to circle the moon almost 21 times.
Fun Facts: The first Hershey's milk-chocolate bar rolled out in 1900, three years before ground was broken for Milton Hershey's first factory. Almonds were added to the recipe eight years later.
Fun fact: Skittles were first sold in Europe in 1974 and crossed the Atlantic to the U.S. in 1979. More than 200 million of the tiny round candies are produced every day and it can take eight hours to place the candy coating around the fruit center.
And one last thing. I bought a pair of cashmere socks, on sale last Spring. I have them on today. Ahhhhhh. Man do they feel nice around my feet! Downright luxurious.
