Hi, everyone! I’m traveling today for the holidays and am currently enjoying a 3 1/2 hour layover in Washington D.C.’s Reagan Airport.
So of course I did some candy hunting.
First thing I found was a neat candy bar-shaped York Peppermint Pattie pack. Kind of unusual, and clearly designed to fit the smaller shelving displays found in a spot like an airport shop.
Also found Tree Hugger bubble gum! It was a bit pricey at $3 but so unusual I had to pick them up.
So a bit of fun stuff found on a short little stopover. And that’s it for today… I’ve got a connecting flight to catch!
But I do want to let you that I’ll be back tomorrow to start my week-long Christmas candy coverage!
See you next time!
