| - Thought I would check this place out shortly after its grand opening to see what it was all about. They have a lemonheads logo on the outside of the building, which I considered a good sign since developing a taste for that particular candy when working at a movie theater.
Upon entering, you notice the vast array of candy available in bulk, including all manner of gummis, gumballs, foil-wrapped chocolates and the like. Then it hits you... it's a warehouse store for candy! I resisted the urge to grab a basket or shopping cart. Somehow, I felt less guilty if I only bought what I could carry in my two hands.
I perused every aisle to make sure I had inspected the complete inventory. I spotted a lot of childhood favorites that I thought had disappeared: Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip, Ice Cubes, Laffy Taffy. There were also some vintage brand candy bars that were never part of my vocabulary growing up, but I have been curious to try: Mallo Cups, Zagnut, Clark Bar. Finally settled on several different flavors of Lemonheads (did you know they make Orangeheads?), some Ice Cubes chocolates, Strawberry Milkshake Whoppers, and Sour Satellite Wafers.
Wasn't really planning on buying that much sugary stuff (and I'll ration it out... I swear!), but when the entire store is an impulse aisle, you gotta go with the flow.
