When there is a popular event happening downtown... okay; maybe that once a year event happening downtown (ComicCon) this place was packed with people for some reason even though there was nothing "ComicCon" about it. Maybe it's not the usual bar or restaurant in Gaslamp that intrigued people to come in. I went in because I simply love candy and wanted to see what they have. To my surprise... they had "a variety"... will leave that up to your imagination.

Thought I'd hop in there to see if I could find some sort of cough drop or lozenge just in case I needed it during the theater experience. Also I was wearing a T-shirt that was somewhat political and I saw the owners' reaction when I walked in and his eyebrows reacted possibly involuntarily. Turns out they did not have anything cough drop related except peppermint or Lifesavers-type candy - which seemed weird in a place that has floor to ceiling nothing but candy but OK. So I got some peppermint and a couple of Laffy Taffy's, two little games and headed to the counter. The girl was polite and then the guy with the eye brow came over and told her how much to charge (none of the candy had price tags) - turns out my regular sized Laffy taffy's cost me four dollars each!!! WTF? They made conversation with me like "are you going to the theater tonight?" "I hear it's really good!" blah blah blah, asked me if I wanted a receipt ME: no thank you ME (thinking): there's always Yelp How do they get away with this? oh yeah we live in a capitalist society. go team!

I saw a sign that said they had cold drinks here so I was already sold. When you walk inside this small store, they have a lot of different candies. The drinks are on the right side of the store. They have different unique glass bottle drinks with different flavors. I was tempted to try the watermelon strawberry soda but I went with a cherry coke instead. They keep it in a refrigerator set around 45 degrees. The staff here are amazing and polite. The guy working there said he liked my Oakley Gauge sunglasses since he used to manage a sunglasses store and don't see the sunglasses I have often. They also validated my parking ticket too.

If you're looking for a good gag gift that's actually edible, you can find them here! The employees are really friendly and engaged in polite conversation as we shopped.

I went to a party where chocolates of various corners of the worlds where paired with the very local Stone brewery liquids and the one that caught my attention more was the sweetness of sweet Marcie Shapiro's chocholates.

Her motto is "connecting people through chocolate" and she is all about organic, renewable energy and Eco-friendliness:) After she informed that many of her creations can be found at Jimbo's and other local markets, I am going to check for this brand at the dessert aisles and who knows if I will then throw a beer-choco pairing party myself!

Chris made the kettle corn the morning of our party so it would be fresh. He has so many flavors, but I chose classic, strawberry, blue raspberry, and green apple to match the colors of my party theme. Everyone loved it! This is not your typical mall kettle corn. It's really light and crispy, not stale and sticky. Plus it's just the right amount of sweet for those who don't want their kids eating candy at a party or the adults who don't partake in the extreme sugar rush of birthday cake and fruit punch. Chris also offered us the option of setting up at our party and making it fresh for everyone. Unfortunately we already had a taco caterer so we were limited on space, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for our next event. I got so many compliments on what a great idea the kettle corn was. He even makes carmel flavor which might be my next personal order. :)
