Sweet Nostalgia

[grannybat84112]

National Public Radio has an entire page devoted to the 
social/emotional/economic impact of candy--everything from The Ritual 
of the Peep to The Science of Candy Wrapper Sounds. 

"Oct. 31, 2003 -- Nowadays, most of us regard candy as a guilty 
pleasure, but during the Great Depression, sugary confections were 
marketed as a healthy and inexpensive source of nourishment...." 

Fascinating stuff.
