This is my first time at All Candy Expo and it is certainly an overwhelming experience. Imagine being in the worlds largest candy store ... and everything is FREE ... not just to take, but people actively handing out samples ... candy coated coffee beans, gum, chocolates, gummy bears, candy canes, super caffeinated coffee treats, and even "worm larva" that was powdered with some sort of cheese flavor! (stay tuned for a photo of me eating that!)
Probably the most surprising - but not surprising at the same time - is the amount of gluttony among various attendees. Each person is given a sample bag with which they are to collect their samples. Some people are abusing this by packing their bags, running to a corner and filling up a large briefcase or plastic shopping bag. One kid I walked past had 3 sample bags overflowing with delectable treats.
What about his parents you ask? Well, they were there, standing next to the little piggy smiling!
What a great message to send to your kid.
