How To Survive Five Days Stuck In A Ditch — CANDY!!!

// January 26th, 2012 // No Comments » // Candy News

I just saw on the news a woman was stranded on a road with a rental car and survived days by eating candy!!Ok this was in Idaho and I’m not sure why she opted to stay stranded in the car. She survived on peanut butter M&M’s..

Lynn S. Keesler, 61, of Houston, was evaluated by emergency medical technicians but refused to go to the hospital, saying she just wanted “a warm bed and a bath,” The Times-News reported Tuesday.

The Cassia County report said Keesler believed she had been stranded for three to five days, but the sheriff’s log shows a deputy gave her directions to the hotels in Burley on Jan. 15. She walked to a nearby house for help on Jan. 22.

Keesler told deputies that after getting directions, she saw water by a dairy and thought it was the Snake River. She told deputies she tried to drive around the outside of the water but got stuck in the mud.

The first night she was stranded she flashed her headlights all night until the car’s battery ran down. Keesler told officers she also honked the horn a couple times when the battery would power up enough.

She lived on peanut butter M&Ms and water and told officers she stayed in the car because she had been told not to leave her vehicle if she became stranded. Keesler finally went for help Sunday after the settling pond started filling with water.

 

Ludens Soothed My Sugar Tooth & Throat!

// January 24th, 2012 // No Comments » // Candy Video Review, Sugar Free



So isn’t it ironic that two days after initially filming the review, I’m sick with a cold and thank goodness that the Ludens Throat Drops arrived when they did!

Check out the video!!

So my nephew liked the Orange, but I haven’t tried any other flavor than Cherry and it is ADDICTING. Although my throat is bothering me, I’m popping Ludens like Skittles. This is what sets them apart from other throat drops.

Flavors include:

  • Wild Cherry
  • Wild Honey
  • Licorice
  • Sugar Free Wild Cherry
  • Orange

The newest flavor is the Orange in fact and the bag that I received is priced around $1.79 in stores. You can of course find them anywhere. Ludens has been around for over 130 years! I knew it was an old company but never imagined 130 years!!

Thanks so much for sending me a few to review. I’m sure with the change of the weather, I’m problematically sure to get sick again..

Sour Electroshock Licorice

// October 14th, 2008 // No Comments » // International Candy, Licorice Candy

Today I have some international candy for Candy Tuesdays!! Right now I am visiting Spain and happened to get some goodies along the way. Enjoy the video!

As I said in the video, I normally do not eat licorice candy unless it has a fruity flavor such as these licorice straws with filling or without. The candy manufacturer is Fiesta and they do have a website in both English and Spanish. The Spanish candy website has most of the products which can be found at Fiesta.es. The English website (FiestaCandy.com) only seems to have chocolate rocks which is something very interesting.

The price for the package of four was 2 euros and as of today´s currency its $2.70. A bit expensive but it was well worth the taste. In most candy stores in Spain the licorice straws are popular and cost around 0.05 cents. However, the sour inside filling shocks is new and therefore priced more expensive than the rest.

The Sour Electroshock Flavors

  • Strawberry
  • Cola
  • Apple

The translation for licorice in Spanish is Regaliz! I hope you´ve learned something new in the world of international candy! Enjoy
