Just kidding!! However, I was traveling recently and I what I saw was so original. The German Airline TuiFly candy art by Haribo!!

Isn’t that neat!!! I looked in the air and I said to myself, well isn’t that the Haribo Bear! If I had a choice, I would definitely like to fly on the Bear!

The airline has the gold haribo gummy bears colors as well. When you’re traveling be sure to be on the lookout! It is very original!

Once I get settled in, I’ll post new candy reviews! My apologies!

Here is a link to the original contest and the news article.

Here is a quote from the website:

ALL of our materials (Candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels) are factory rejects from independent manufactures and have never been used. These same materials were certain to be sent to a land fill or garbage dump only to pollute the earth more! Not only does the process sustain the environmentally-friendly practice of recycling, it also yields creatively-fresh, long lasting and innovative products.

Made from up to 4000 individual candy wrappers, each piece is passionately and patiently hand made by craftsmen and follows the same process of folding, weaving, and sewing, which can take up to 4 days to complete. And while the bags are indeed made from candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels, they stand the test of time and weather for tear-free, long term durability. What you once would have discarded without hesitation, has been transformed and reshaped into the next must have fashion accessory.

The best selling candy wrapper hand bags can be found at the website: Nahui Ollin.com…

• Shoulder bags
• Hand bags
• Convertible bags
• Messenger bags
• Clutch and evening bags
• Wristlets and cutlets

After reviewing more of the website, they have a new type of bag and its made from Newspaper! How dificult that must be to make. However, its art and I LOVE IT!

Now this is pretty neat and not exactly throwing away candy but creating a sculpture out of recycled candy from Halloween! This big candy sculpture is made from more than 3,000 pieces of unwanted Halloween candy, “found art” artist Leo Sewell of Philadelphia created a one-of-a-kind rocket ship sculpture.  The candy was donated by visitors to the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, Calif. in exchange for Nestle Crunch bars.

Commissioned by Nestle Crunch, Sewell spent four days creating the sculpture revealed last week and on display at The Tech Museum through this weekend.

I would love to see a recycled Christmas Candy sculpture that large! Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner? Time flies!!

Now time for some yummy reviews

I hope everyone had a nice and safe 4th of July celebration yesterday! Mine was great! I was looking at different types of unique candy for Independence Day but there was nothing out there that really struck me, until I found these Red, White and Blue Strawberries dipped in white candy melts, with blue sugar to tip it off!

This is a wonderful example of unique use of colors, fruit and candy!

The norm for Valentines day is to buy candy and it can be boring every year to receive a box of chocolates. However, the fun thing about candy is that it’s flexible. If you have a tad bit of imagine and crafty hands you should make art candy and make the candy unforgettable. Most people who want to be original with candy during this holiday usually end up buying candy thongs or equivalent buts too easy and easily forgettable. Below are some good valentines candy ideas with an art twist!

Where to buy these candies in a rush?

1. Candy Crate
2. Old Time Candy
3. zChocolat
