The “Candy bar protest”, also known as “the 5 cent chocolate war”, “the 5 cent war”, and “the chocolate candy bar strike”, was a short-lived 1947 protest by Canadian children over the increase in price of chocolate bars from five to eight cents. As the children marched, they sang: We want a 5 cent chocolate […]

Chocolate was classified as “candy” under the Revenue Acts of 1918 and 1921, and so it was taxed as such. Hershey’s sued to recover about $8,000,000 in taxes by arguing it was “food”, and so had been wrongly taxed. The Supreme Court ruled it was “candy”.

What you’re about to read from Reddit’s “Am I the *sshole?” page might make you a little bit upset.
Or, you might not think it was a huge deal and that this wife overreacted in a big way.
That’s the beauty of the stories that people post on that forum! Let’s take a look.
AITA for blowing up at my husband at my husband for eating my daughter’s bday candy?
“My husband and I have a 12 year old daughter and an 8 year old son.
My husband is the “no” parent. For as long as I can remember he will say no in stores or sports games to the kid’s requests for snacks or toys, even if they offer to pay with their own cash.I don’t undermine my husband when we are together but when I have the kids alone, I do tend to say yes (within reason of course, and not to every single thing)
Two days ago was my daughter’s birthday. It’s her second birthday that we’ve been in lockdown and I bought her 2 boxes of her favorite candy, along with her gifts. My daughter ate some of the Swedish fish out of the first box and decided to save the rest on her dresser where her brother is too short to reach and assumed us the parents wouldn’t take any.
Well was I wrong. I awoke to my daughter crying that her dad had eaten her second box of Swedish fish and some out of the first box and only left her with a few. I checked the trash in our bedroom and confirmed my husband had eaten them.I was FURIOUS. I screamed at him that he is a grown man who can go to the store and buy whatever the f*ck he wants without anyone to tell him no.
While he always says no to our kids and the rare time she gets to eat her favorite candy, his *ss has to eat it.He said we were both making a big deal over candy. I told him it was more than just candy, that he obviously doesn’t like seeing the kids happy, and he’s a thief.
I took my kids with to my sister’s house to cool down, and bought my daughter more Swedish fish to make up for the ones that my husband stole.We’re still at my sister’s house a day later. Until my husband can truly apologize to his child, the thought of him disgusts me.
AITA?”
Hmmmm. Let’s see how people reacted on Reddit.
This person made a good point: this marriage seems incredibly dysfunctional and this woman seems like she’s at the end of her rope with her husband.

Another reader said that even though it seems like it on the surface, this story really isn’t about candy: it’s about the whole marriage.

Another individual talked about how her own father stole food from her all the time when they were growing up, so they can relate.

This person called the situation what it probably is: THE LAST STRAW.

And finally, this person said that some parents really don’t even treat their kids with respect…and this sounds like a classic case of that.

What do you think?
Was this woman wrong or totally justified in her actions?

It’s an issue that American society.
No, I’m not talking about impeachment, or your favorite football team. I’m talking about…candy corn.
I’m kind of indifferent about the whole thing, but I will say that, as a kid, I was always less than thrilled when I got candy corn while trick or treating (which I stopped doing when I turned 24). Gimme the good stuff, please! I need Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Butterfingers, and Dum Dums.
According to a recent survey by CandyStore.com, candy corn is the worst Halloween candy. They weren’t messing around, either. They conducted this survey like scientists in a lab. First, they looked at candy rankings from websites like Business Insider, Huffington Post, Bon Appetit, and Buzzfeed.
CandyStore.com then surveyed 40,000 of their own customers who buy candy from their website. They then combined all the information, crunched the numbers, and came up with definitive lists of the top 10 best and top 10 worst Halloween candies.

Has it been so long since you trick or treated that you can’t remember the thrill of getting something truly spectacular dropped into your pillowcase as you roamed around the neighborhood? (And then you took off your mask so they wouldn’t recognize you and went back to the same house for seconds?).
Ahhh, the good old days.
If you’ve ever wondered what the most popular Halloween candy is in every state in the U.S., you’re in luck.
Who knew Skittles are that popular? I’m not feeling it…but Mississippi, you’re speaking my language!
Here’s the full list for you.

We produce WAY too much waste and garbage, and that’s why this is some very welcome news.
Lately, we’ve been seeing a wave of huge companies try to ditch plastic in one way or another, and now KitKat is getting in on the action as well. Nestlé owns the iconic candy brand, and it recently started distributing KitKat Mini bars in Japan packaged in paper instead of plastic.
The best part? The new paper packaging comes with instructions on how to make an origami crane, which is a traditional Japanese symbol of thoughts and wishes.
Nestlé announced in January that it wants to have all of its products packaged in fully recyclable material by 2025. To give you an idea of how massive Nestlé’s empire is, the company’s beverage products alone made more than $20 billion last year. That’s a lot of drinks, no?
Nestlé Japan is relaunching its larger-sized KitKat products, using recycled paper that can be repurposed to create origami once you've finished your chocolate treats! => https://t.co/JwLGPXXeGb#cuisine #VisitJapan pic.twitter.com/hbBCY177nV
— Visit Japan (@Visit_Japan) September 2, 2019
Japan is the biggest market in the world for KitKats (4 million are sold each day) and the company expects to cut down on about 380 tons of plastic each year with this groundbreaking decision.
Nestlé in Japan plans to debut paper packaging for the regular-sized KitKat multi-packs in September 2020, and for regular-sized individual KitKats in 2021. If that’s not progress, then I don’t know what is, friends.
Nestle Japan is accelerating its efforts to solve plastic waste by changing KitKat’s outer #packaging from plastic to paper. The best part? It's origami friendly paper

Nice work, Nestlé. Let’s hope a whole lot of other huge corporations follow your lead sooner than later. Now all we need to do is think of some good instructions we could put in products for Americans…
Any ideas? Share them in the comments below!

A 2011 study revealed that people who eat candy weigh less than those who don’t. The study was sponsored by the “National Confectioners Association”.
