| - Talk about feeling like a kid in a candy store! From the windows to the walls, this sweet-tooth mecca is chockfull of candies galore!
There are hundreds of different varieties of sweets ranging from classic, ole school candy to new age (Angry Birds & Candy Crush) creations. Any flavor you can dream of, they likely have it. And for you bacon lovers (I'll try to hide my disdain), there's an entire section of bacon-flavored thangs (sic) just for you. There was also an entire section of Asian goodies, some of which I had only ever seen at a Japanese festival, so it's really cool that they carry them here. And the have the throwback water taffy too; barrels & barrels of taffy. The owner offered a free sample, but I declined. (I'm fairly certain that taffy is not vegan.)
On to the pop. Soda pop, that is. I am no expert, but this could very well be the largest selection of sodas in the city. Mind-blowing variety. (I saw a Snooki soda. No words! But...I wonder how it tastes?) Some of the pop was refrigerated and some were on shelves. Some could be purchased individually, and some were sold as a 6, 12, or 24 pack. If you're a pop connoisseur, you need to come here.
They also sell other novelty items like posters, pop culture standees (those life-sized cardboard replicas), magnets, games, toys, etc. And again, these range from classic (Marilyn Monroe & James Dean) to modern (The Walking Dead, The Hangover).
Some of the candy was over-priced, so don't buy your everyday candy here; but for the rare or hard to get flavors, it may be worth it.
It's a new (and fun!) store, located in the Thunderbird strip mall on the NW corner of N Scottsdale Rd & Thunderbird, behind the Taco Bell. The female owner was very nice and welcoming. I'll definitely return for some sweetness!
