Candy Dish Diaries

In our monthly newsletter, I had asked our customers to share with us how they would describe our company and our products. Here are some funny "Candy Dish" stories sent by our customers:

Student at candy bowl with big grin: "Thanks for putting these out.  I love coming here & getting these."  And he took a single Tootsie Pop.

 

 

I had a conversation at the reference desk with one of our candy loyalists about the best kind of candy valentine hearts.  He prefers Necco brand.  And he confided a passion for Necco wafers, which I share.  He said he wrote the company a letter when he was 12 telling them how much he liked them and they sent him back a bunch of candy.  Now the best part: he wished me a happy valentine's day. 

Moral of this story: good things can happen at the reference desk after 4:00 pm on Friday.

 

 

A young man, laden with two textbooks, lingered over the candy dish until I finally said "it's ok to take two". "Don't tell anybody" he grinned, picked out his two candies then said, sweetly, "Thank you for putting this out. It always makes my day."  Ooooh I just love the candy dish.

 

 

Two students looking over the candy selection in the bowl:

Student 1: "They put chocolates out during finals week."

Student 2: "I know.  It's the best.  I can't wait!"

I invited candy collectors from all over to showcase their huge collections of M&Ms memorabilia. Check out the collections starring Red, Yellow, Blue and Green! http://www.collectorsquest.com/featured-week/M%26Ms.html

It is true! Candy is a great way to "thank" anyone and give a "pick 'er upper"!

I myself have a "smile about" story---when mom was in an "assisted living facility" I used to visit her daily. One of the residents "Freddie" looked for me religiously and would yell out "CANDY LADY"--here comes the "CANDY LADY"---he would continue until I would "sneak" him a piece of candy (it had to be chocolate).Then, of course, all of the residents came to look for some little treat when I came in.

This went on for a couple of years, then---Freddie passed away and at his wake, I slipped a piece of chocolate candy in his pocket--his family knew immediately who I was and told me how happy that little piece of chocolate made him.

"CANDY DOES A BODY & MIND GOOD!"
