We be Shoppin'!! Bring on Black Friday- the Sweet 'n' Sour Pop!

What is Black Friday?

There are actually two events that describe this historical day- from www.investopedia.com

1. A day of stock market catastrophe. Originally, September 24, 1869, was deemed Black Friday. The crash was sparked by gold speculators, including Jay Gould and James Fist, who attempted to corner the gold market. The attempt failed and the gold market collapsed, causing the stock market to plummet. The term "black" has been used to describe other disastrous days in financial markets. For example, on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the market fell precipitously, signaling the start of the Great Depression. The largest one-day drop in stock market history occurred on Black Monday, October 19, 1987, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted more than 22%.
2. The day after Thanksgiving in the United States. Retailers generally see an upward spike in sales and consider this to be the start of the holiday shopping season. It's common for retailers to offer special promotions and to open early to draw in customers.   The idea behind the term "Black Friday" is that this is the day in which retail stores have enough sales to put them "in the black" - an accounting expression that alludes to the practice of recording losses in red and profits in black. I am labeling Black Friday- the Charms Sweet 'n' Sour Pop! Sweet because of the great sales and promotions, and sour because of the long lines, crowded stores, and pushy customers!

The Charms Sweet 'n' Sour Pop is a great treat to pass the time as you wait in long check-out lines. Retailers should keep this in mind and have a candy dish ready to go for their customers! Purchasable in as small as 5lbs or as large as a 30lb case- containing 12 boxes of 48 count lollipops.

The Ingredient List includes: sugar, corn syrup, ctitric acid, artificial flavors, artificial colors (including FD&C red 40 and FD&C blue 1), and tumeric coloring.

Happy Thanksgiving- The Caramel Apple Pop of Holidays!

  In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast which is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies. This harvest meal has become a symbol of cooperation and interaction between English colonists and Native Americans. Although this feast is considered by many to the very first Thanksgiving celebration, it was actually in keeping with a long tradition of celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops. Native American groups throughout the Americas, including the Pueblo, Cherokee, Creek and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in North America.- Found on www.history.com
