The Candy Man

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned my dad’s glorious candy drawer on more than one occasion here at whoorl. Earlier this week, I received the greatest honor imaginable when my father asked me to accompany him on a candy-drawer-stocking expedition to the grocery store. I jumped at the chance to learn proper candy-stocking skills from the master. How does he do it? Are his purchases off the cuff or does he employ a systematic thought process? THE QUESTIONS.

A thought crossed my mind. I bet 6 of my readers would find a documentary completely riveting!

This video is for you, 6 people of the world.

Warning: This is 4 minutes and 55 seconds of your life that you will NEVER get back. Think about it.

    That was hilarious!! I loved your candy video and your dad is really funny! “like Viagra but only lasts 3 minutes!”
    I didn’t know that you could still write a cheque for groceries either.

    Your dad’s right…worms ARE organic, and thus healthy!

    This video is darling! And your dad is the cutest!

    I also usually have a candy drawer, although right now it is more like a candy bucket. Currently mine is pretty citrus candy-centric: lemon drops, lemon heads, chewy sprees, and skittles.

    I recently went on vacation with my mom (and, obviously, brought my candy bucket full of yellow-colored candy) and she brought out her stash of candy – all red candy including red hots, red licorice, and hot tamales. I was explaining to my boyfriend how weird i thought it was that my mom and I both show up with color-themed candy and he responded, “You don’t think it is weird that you both bring your own private candy stash?” Uh… I guess not everyone is obsessed with candy!

    Hahaha! This is priceless! I don’t even know where to begin w/ the hilariousness. Loved the typed captions, esp. “Fondle the candy!” The editing, the music, ALL. OF. IT! How big is this candy drawer??? !!
