Maybe it's just me, but I thought this video was adorable! I have seen Gummy Bear Jewelry, home accessories and even a 5 pound Giant Gummy Bear, but did you know that Gummy Bears have their own songs and website? Hilarious! Who knew that such a delicious little candy could become so famous! They have a duet with the Chipmunks and a game application for your iphone too!
Check out this video of their Gummy Bear Song! It is addictive! Just like shopping at Southwestcandy.com!
If you would rather EAT Gummy Bears than listen to them sing we can help you out with that too! Check out southwestcandy.com for our entire Gummy selection!
Southwest Candy is going back in time. Does a Bubble Gum Cigarette take you back to childhood? What about the Necco Wafers that I know people have tried to use at toll booths! The Candy Button Strip- hello! And all the 80s kids in the house- get out your Big League Chew!
Yes, we are expanding our candy assortment to create Time Warp Candy Boxes themed from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Yes, we are brilliant, but try not to tell us too often b/c our heads get really big!
So for example- you are having a birthday party themed Crazy 80s. Hook yourself up with our 80s Candy Box of fun and you'll get items like Bit O Honey, Candy Flipsticks, Atomic Fireballs, Caramel Creams, Charleston Chew, Big League Chew, and hold on to your seat…. BAZOOKA GUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now let's say you are hosting a retirement party. A child of the 50s would enjoy Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Boston Baked Beans, Chick O Sticks, Rock Candy Swizzle Sticks, Mary Janes, and ummm Long Boy Coconuts? Yeah, never heard of those.
Now I'm sure the 60s was a booming year of candy eating with Woodstock and the "munchies"- hee hee. If you were cruising around in your Chevy feeling "the love", were you snacking on Jujubes? Maybe Gold Mine Bubble Gum? Ahh Welcome the Sugar Daddy and bring on the Bottle Caps.
Disco 70s were hot, hot, hot! Enter Dots, Pop Rocks, Pixy Stix, and The Everlasting Gobstopper! Right now I'm picturing my mom dancing to Donna Summer and chewing on some Freshen Up Spearmint Gum. LOL!
So get ready for your Time Warp Candy Boxes hosted by yours truly, here at Southwest Candy! The home of fabulous bulk candy, and fabulous employees!
Fair or not fair? She's a very original artist, but her performance on March 11th obviously cost her the shot at the title. What do you all think? And if you could describe Lilly Scott in candy terms- what would she be? Send me your comments!
Have any of you heard of Paul Potts? He just visited us here in the Valley of the Sun and saying that he is amazing is an understatement. He is extraordinarily inspiring and the poster man for Sweet Success! If you want to get inspired by his incredible talent, just view the Youtube video below and be prepared for goosebumps…….
Do you have a story of Sweet Success? We'd LOVE to hear about it! Send us over your story- it just may earn you a free 5lbs of candy from Sweet Services!
What do the Strangegloves, Bow Wow Wow, Melanie C, Good Charlotte, and Aaron Carter all have in common? They all want candy! Each of these artists has created their own version of the song "I Want Candy"- originally recorded by the Strangegloves back in 1965. So here are a couple of their videos- who do you think is the best artist? I personally enjoyed listening to Bow Wow Wow, but I preferred Melanie C's video- SPICEY!! LOL!
So apparently Britney Spears has discovered a new lollipop to help her lose weight. The pops contain a compound known as "Hoodia" which apparently helps to curb your appetite. So again, back to the scientific journals I go! Yes, it is true, this compound has been isolated down to a glycoside (P57 to be exact) and it does have appetite suppression properties. Would I advise my family and friends to invest in this product- NO. The problem is, just because it is herbal does not mean it is safe. Many herbal products are sold on the market and they don't have FDA approval- as long as they say those magic words, "this statement has not been approved by the Federal Drug Administration", they can sell it!
My advice to Britney, and to the rest of you looking for the cure to weight loss? Stay away from the drive-thru, seek out fruits and vegetables as the base of your diet, drink plenty of fluids, keep your body moving, and try a lollipop of ours to keep your mouth busy. As I stated in a previous post, Charms Mini Pops and Tootsie Roll Miniature Pops are only 17 calories and 3 grams of sugar.
Madonna's new album is here! 'HARD CANDY" is in stores now! Well, what do you know? Madonna LOVES candy! Perhaps as a congratulations on her 11th album and final sign off to Warner Brothers, we should send her a box of her favorite candy! If anyone has some suggestions as to what we should send her, let us know!
And as a tribute to the Material Girl, go ahead and send us a video of yourself busting a move to the track "Candy Store"! We'll post your video on our blog and……
The person who sends the BEST video will receive 5lbs of candy on us!
