1. PEZ was invented in Austria by a man named Edward Haasand. He named PEZ after the German world "peppermint." It was an adult breath mint that he decided to market as an alternative for smoking. In 1952 PEZ wanted to expand their sales, so they set their sights on the U.S.A. To make their product more appealing to Americans, they placed heads on the dispensers and marketed it for children.
2. The melting point of cocoa butter is just below the human body temperature -- which is why it literally melts in your mouth.
3. Candy Corn was invented in 1880 by George Renninger of the Wunderlee Candy Co. The three colors of the candy are meant to mimic corn. Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn, as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn. The secret ingredient is marshmallows..that is what makes them so soft! It remains one of the best selling Halloween candies of all times.
4. Candy was used as an offering to the gods of ancient Egypt. Honey was used as the sweetener until the introduction of sugar in medieval Europe. Among the oldest types of candies are licorice and ginger from the Far East and marzipan from Europe. Candy making did not begin on a large scale until the early 19th century, when with the development of special candy making machinery it became a British specialty. In the United States the candy industry began to grow rapidly during the mid-19th century with the invention of improved machinery and a cheaper process for powdering sugar. In 1911 the first candy bars were sold in baseball parks; by 1960 candy bars made up almost half of all U.S. candy production.
5. Chewing Gum became an important part of American culture and is often associated with being the catalyst behind the vending business. Early chewing gums were a challenge as they were hard to chew and the flavor, if any, lasted a very short time.
6. Circus peanuts date to the 1800s when they were a seasonal treat and one of the original penny candies. No one knows how circus peanuts got their shape and name or how they long they've been around. One theory is that they originated with the traveling circuses where vendors sold salted peanuts and candy. Spangler Candy Co., is one of the few remaining makers of circus peanuts. People can't wrap their brains around circus peanuts, because they are orange and look like peanuts, they taste like banana. And they are chewier than a traditional marshmallow. Even those who like circus peanuts can't agree whether they are better soft and fresh or stale and hard after sitting out for a week.

Next up we have Miss Chloe, she is a 2 year old with her own attitude. She knows what she wants, and will try to get it by all means necessary. She loves Pooh and candy. Is a true tomboy, and refuses to wear a dress...or let me put anything in her hair. Favorite pass time is writing on herself, and driving mommy to drink. Cheers!

Don't even ask me how much Aqua Net or time I spent on that hair do. I was born in 1978, but my first memories are of the 80's growing up. The 80's were great on so many levels. It was a great time to be a kid. Two reason why they rocked I will talk about in Part 1 of this topic are Music and Movies. Our movies and music rocked. The kind that you could watch/listen with your whole family. Now days I can barley 
That is right.."Goonies Never Say Die" I love this shirt of mine. If you were a Goonie, you didn't learn about Guns, Bee-oches, and bling..but adventure, booby-traps, fiances, home repossession, treasure, one-eyed people, and more importantly...friendships. Yep, even our movies were family friendly..The Gremlins, Star Wars, The Never Ending Story, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Mad Max Beyond Thunder Dome, The National Lampoons, Secret of the Nimh, The Last Unicorn..just to name of few of my favs.
