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.

June 20, 2009 at 12:03 pmLoved the video! Your dad is so cute. Love the Johnnie’s reference and loved the Viagara comment. So something one of my parents would have felt the need to say on camera.
What’s up with sugar free round jolly ranchers? Really not okay.

June 21, 2009 at 9:29 amI love when you go to visit your parents.
One of the things that bonds my mother, my daughter and myself together is our shared disgust with the circus peanut. And I’m with your dad: The only thing that should have the bubble gum flavor is actual bubble gum.

June 21, 2009 at 7:48 pmYum. Wonderful video- such fun- so much candy in just one trip.
We have a candy drawer too. Fire-hot Jolly Ranchers for my husband. Chocolate in the drawer from Trader Joes. And double salt licorice from my daughter. Put those in the front and most people dare not dig further, leaving more for me!
Again, what a great video- isn’t it funny how some of the smallest traditions in a family are the most treasured?
