Black Out Fun

Now it's time to look at the news. In the East coast of North America a huge power failure had shut down many major cities in both Canada and the US. Now seeing as though I happen to live in one of the cities (Toronto), I guess you might be interested in knowing how a little power failure would affect the world of candy. Well, for the most part nothing really happened. I'm sure sales of things like chocolate bars and chips went up a bit during the strike, but I'm not really interested in the money-side of the candy industry.

So I survived the power failure without really thinking about the affect it would have on my candy eating habits. Then a couple of days ago I went to my local store and I bought myself an ice cream bar. It was one of the freshest bars I've eaten in a long time. Then it hit me, with no power the freezers were not working and many stores had to sell off their ice cream so it wouldn't spoil. This in itself is reason to be happy, but the repercussions go beyond that.

Now that stores are out of ice cream, they have to restock. This means fresh ice cream treats for all. This means if your a candy fanatic and you want the best of the best, get your ice cream now! So many people settle for old ice cream treats not really knowing the joy of having a smooth, creamy delight with a hard cookie shell. Really, enjoy it now because next year it will all be back to the old stuff for everyone. Actually, within a month it will start to get bad. Eat ice cream, it's worth the experience!
