• Skittles Accused Of White Supremacy

  by Tammy on June 18, 2017

  Sigh. As they say, you can’t make it up. This also highlights the debilitating affects of identity politics and narcissism– where everything that happens, happens because of you. Sometimes, however, a colorless skittle is just a colorless skittle. Via Daily Caller. An attempt by Skittles to celebrate LGBT Pride Month has been met with backlash from various left-leaning activists on social media. The candy manufacturer removed the iconic rainbow colors from its product in a tribute to Pride Month. The company stated, “During Pride, only one rainbow matters. So we’ve given up ours to show support.” A portion of the profits from each bag will go to LGBT charities. The decision was met with backlash by those who felt that...

  by Tammy on January 23, 2017

  Hmm… Via NBC LA. A mysterious Skittles spill on a rural highway in Wisconsin is taking another twist, with Mars Inc. saying it doesn’t know why the discarded candy might have been headed to become cattle feed.

• ‘You Are Gay,’ ‘Fax Me,’ ‘Let’s Read,’ and 17 More Amazing Retired Sweetheart Candy Sayings

  by Tammy on February 14, 2013

  Not even a real candy saying, just one for Senator Menendez. Hey, what’s wrong with “Let’s Read?” That’s kinda sexy! Now, if I had my way, every little hart-shaped candy in the White House would read, “What’s Wrong With You?” and every candy saying in Congress would say “RETIRE.” And then, of course, there’s a special candy for Sen. Menendez: “Your Money’s on the the Dresser.” But maybe that’s just me 😉 Via the Atlantic. The Sweetheart is 147 years old. But not all of its cute little sayings have enjoyed quite the same sesquicentennial longevity. The folks from NECCO, the confectionery company that sells 4 million pounds of their traditional heart-shaped candies in the 6 weeks before Valentine’s Day,...
