Candy Land Clearance

Candy in the shape of an upside-down "J" is called what?
If you said "a candy cane," you are correct.

It's colors are...?
If you said "red and white," you are correct.

And it's flavor is...?
If you said "peppermint," you are correct.

In the home of a "purist" candy cane lover...  this (see photo above) is just plain wrong.

Can you guess who, in our house, purchased it?  To his credit, he only paid a clearance price.  Unsure if it was edible, or would only be used as a prop (he knows me so well *wink*), he knew he was taking a chance.

Would I, lover of all things peppermint -- even chewy clearance candy canes, ever be tempted to eat it?

Not if every cupboard in the house was empty.

{But Babe -- thanks for the prop!}

Love,
The Candy Cane Purist
