The Coolest Candy Store EVAH!!

I've been off the grid, gang - so sorry!  It's all good, though, lots of work!  Yay!  This week started off in Myrtle Beach where I found the most amazing candy store in the free world - IT'SUGAR:




This amazing thing has different flavors of "pucker powder" and you can fill the plastic tubes with it.  Remember Pixie Sticks?  Well, this takes the whole sugar thing to a whole new level.  And I like it!

They had loads of cool candy gifts too:





And how about this - the sweetest sandcastle ever made with 254,093 Jelly Belly jelly beans.  Let me tell you, it was ginormous!

Journals, notepads, candy jars:


My new favorite luggage tag which will be so accompanying me to Candy Expo!



The newest addition to my living room:


They didn't have too much non-standard chocolate (tons of M and M's in different colors), but I loved this Chocoscopes Bloomsberry and Co. wrapper:


My b-day is tomorrow (or today depending on when you read this) and I am a Taurus, and this was pretty right on!  You know how I love that creative packaging!  Any of these fit you?

Bloomsbury Chocolate is pretty good - along the lines of Cadbury, but what they're really selling are their super creative wrappers.

There were also tons of bins where you could bag your own candy.  I'm only in it for the chocolate, but I did snag some huge (and delicious) Jordan Almonds:


I love their stylized S logo.  And the back of the bag has three levels you can fill to - the lowest is sugar fix, next is sugar rush, the highest is sugar high.  Love it!!  Oh - and they have tons of t-shirts and hats and all kinds of candy themed stuff.  The music playing is even all candy songs!!  I'm telling you, this place is FAB!!!

There were the only new chocolate bars I found:


These are by Joyva Corp based in Brooklyn and they were God awful.  The chocolate is terrible and the fillings no better.  Ewwww!

This is the logo on their shopping bags: 


It is a really, really great place and it's at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, SC.  It is so much fun!!!!

And would you believe I saw this on the way home:



I tried to hijack him, but my car was too small to force him off the road and I was unarmed.  Damn it.  Where's a good jihadist when you need one?
