The wedding of my long time friend had an added benefit for me as at each table, at each seat, was a pair of grape flavored hard candy sticks, symbolizing the union of two wonderful individuals. At the end of the night when saying goodbye to my friend Jen, I thanked her for everything, including the sticks. Her reply? Take them all. Take every damn stick I can carry out of there. Most people had left them on the tables and she instructed me to take them or they might go to waste. She may have been drunk.
So on my way out the door I grabbed 30 sticks, maybe 40...who knows? I had already eaten 5 or 6 before I counted my haul, which lasted me the entire week. They were good too! My penchant for grape obviously biased my opinion, but Gilliam's Old-fashioned Stick Candy is quite delicious. I would like to try other flavors, so I'm crossing my fingers that this becomes a wedding tradition, or at least a fad, and my friends and readers will invite me to any forth coming nuptials.
