I thought it would be fun to do a guestbook for those who come and visit my little corner of the world. It would be fun to hear from you, would you sign my guestbook? ~Shyloh~

Stick Candy for sale!!

Old Fashioned Stick Candy for sale!!!



This is a embarrasing story...and this is the only answer I could come up with...

I was looking around online yesterday and pricing bulk stick candy. (I was thinking it would be fun to have a Stick Candy display at the wedding...like the one shown in the picture.) Stick candy, unfortunately, is pretty pricey. So I visited at least 21 different web sites and comparing prices. Since I'd have to pay for shipping and handling when purchasing online, I was trying to figure out the entire price of an order with the various websites I visited. Most web sites didn't tell how much shipping would be, unless you were purchasing the item and going through the payment process. So what I would do, is put the item I want into my "cart" and proceed to check out. I'd fill out all the information and right before the page that asks for my payment method, they would give me the total price of the entire order. (Item plus s&h). Again...I repeat...I did this with many many many websites. After hours of looking around, I found a fundraising website. They had a box of stick candies that I was interested in, so I put it in my cart and started to go through the process of seeing how much it would be. After going through the normal 3 steps that I had gone through a million times by this point, I clicked "next" and it brought me to a page that said: "Your order has been shipped." I stared at the computor in confusion. I checked my e-mails and sure enough, there was my reciept and order confermation. By now I was even more confused. I started reading on the website and realized, that since it is a fundraising website...you can purchase the candy on a "credit" account sytem and pay after you sell the candy, I have 30 day to pay for it. I panicked!! I couldn't figure out how to cancel my order, but was able to figure out how to pay it off immediately. All this to say...this brings me to my point of this post...

I have one thousand two hundred(plus some) old fashioned candy sticks in the mail heading to my house. Yes...count it...1200+!! And needless to say..this was an extremely expensive purchase.

So...Does anyone want to buy some candy sticks? LOL.

I currently have 12 flavors available:

Bubble Gum, Butterscotch, Cherry, Grape, Lemon, Orange, Peppermint, Raspberry, Sour Apple, Strawberry, Tutti Fruitti, Watermelon

Prices are as follow...

.25 each
(numbers indicate packages)

1. 5 for a $1.00
2. 10 for $2.00
3. 15 for $3.00
4. 25 for $5.00
5. 50 for $10.00

7. 100 for $20.00

(orders can be texted to me at: 409-4581)

Old Fashioned Candy Sticks are great for:

personal enjoyment, gifts, giveaways, children, prizes, grandchildren, holidays...and...I'm out of ideas.

I am thinking, if I can at least earn back half of what I spent, I will feel better. LOL, then maybe I will start my own "old fashioned candy stick" business. I will take the money I earn and turn around and buy new flavors. The flavors I am looking at are...

Cinnamon, Chocolate, Peaches N Cream, Cherry Cola, Blueberry, Black Berry, RootBeer, Island Punch
(and many many many more not listed)

Feel free to leave me a comment, text or facebook your flavor preference. I have over 30 flavors at my finger tips...and I am being entirely serious about this post. LOL.

My order should be in by the end of this week. In which case, I can bring you your order as early as Sunday.

Man...I feel so retarded. I'm embarrassed to publish this post!

BY THE WAY...WE GOT THE HOUSE!!
ESCROW STARTED TODAY!!! YAY!!!
