I love candy. I also love to laugh. And that is why I am absolutely obsessed with Laffy Taffies.

°°°

What’s brown and sticky? A stick.

°°°

I used to keep Laffy Taffies in my pockets at all times, just in case a situation ever called for one. And they have. Mostly, it was just my being in the mood of a Laffy Taffy. Still counts, though.

°°°

Why does Where’s Waldo wear stripes? He doesn’t want to be spotted.

I was out and about with my friends, on a “shop till you drop” excursion. The sun was high, the day was long and our stomachs were empty. My diabetic friend desperately, dangerously needed some sugar. Fortunately, I was equipped with my ever present stash of Laffy Taffies. Laffy Taffies can literally save lives.

°°°

What is the raddest aircraft? The hella-copter.

°°°

Laffy Taffies are the ultimate picker-upper. They are sweetness and humor all rolled up into one.

°°°

How much does a pirate pay for corn? A buccaneer.

A few years ago, I was a counselor at an overnight summer camp for the most adorable group of energetic and entertaining 12 year old girls. The happiest of campers, they made every effort to earn the weekly prize, a trip to 7/11, reserved only for the most deserving bunk. And boy did they deserve it. They attended all their activities, went to bed (somewhat) on time, kept the bunkhouse (a little bit) neat, listened to directions at all times, and more. There was no way they wouldn’t win. Yet, as the winners were announced, my camper’s faces slowly fell as they realized that they had not been chosen. So I did what had to be done. I threw them a Laffy Taffy party. We ended up having more fun then we possibly could have, had we gone to 7/11. That is the power of a Laffy Taffy.

°°°

Why don’t birds follow directions? They like to wing it.

They say you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy a Laffy Taffy and that’s basically the same thing.
