With few exceptions, any decent gesture made by a massive corporation isn’t altruistic; it’s very clearly to bolster its own bottom line. We know this! Why do so many companies (cough, DOVE) pretend otherwise? But Mars Inc.—manufacturer of the eponymous chocolate bar and Wrigley’s chewing gum, among others— is…
Donald Trump Jr., boy prince of trolling us all with his inner ugliness and outer flannel, has begun his familial Halloween celebrations by dressing his daughter as a cop and pretending to know what socialism is.
I was like you once: eating a single bite of food with pot in it and freaking right the fuck out. The first time I had a pot brownie, I did what any sensible 15-year-old might: I decided they weren’t working, ate half the pan, waited two hours, then watched the entire room flip onto its side and felt the sensation…
Though a recent trip to the dentist that involved multiple fillings has led to a significant reduction in the amount of gummy candy I consume during any given week (we’re big fans of Haribo over at Jezebel.com), I refuse to cut Reese’s holiday shapes out of my diet—especially in the middle of one of the best seasons…
In a breathtaking and frankly objectionable act of trolling, a GQ deputy editor and a senior editor at Taste have released a list of Haribo gummi rankings on The Awl. The rankings are wrong, they are bad, and as a person with no fewer than five burgeoning cavities and three bags of gummi bears in my purse, I am…
Guess what! As it turns out, life sometimes offers more than a grinding trudge towards death. Residents of the German island Langeoog learned this very lesson last week, when tens of thousands of Kinder Surprise Eggs washed onto its shore.
The makers of Toblerone, that goofy looking Swiss chocolate bar with a bunch of triangles on it, are having fun messing with people’s heads by switching up the design of its bars. To some, it’s maddening.
On Halloween night, 1974, an 8-year-old boy named Timothy O’Bryan opened a “giant pixy stick” he received during a trick-or-treat run in Pasadena, Texas (just outside of Houston), took a mouthful of the flavored sugar inside, and complained to his father “that it tasted bitter.” His father told him to wash the taste…
Here at Jezebel HQ, we have a lot of opinions and a lot of beliefs. Of those, chiefly, we think gummy candy is good, and believe that we need several packs of them to get through the day. This has resulted in only one root canal this year, as far as I’m aware.
The experience of using Kourtney Kardashian’s app is a lot like paying $2.99 to enter a very wealthy stranger’s stark white mansion for the sole privilege of thumbing through a limited selection of photo albums they’ve fanned out on their coffee table. As you turn the pages and squint at every well-shot reminder that…
Important candy news: a woman in London is taking a stand against Nestlé for having the audacity to subject consumers to a wafer-less Kit Kat bar.
Welcome to Cavity Connoisseur, a new occasional column about refined sugar. It has to be occasional or else it will kill me.
Okay, I figured out what I want to be for Halloween.
After more than a century, there is now a single place in Bournville, England—a village built by the founders of Cadbury candy, and still closely tied to the company—where you can buy a goddamn drink. Not everybody is thrilled.
Tis the season, the only season that matters, the season that Halloween candy finally starts appearing on the shelves. Unfortunately, that also means candy corn has made its foul return, a crumbling and earwax-esque concoction that, like your racist grandparent, you only give a pass because it’s been around for so…
Here's the cover for Candy (or C☆NDY)'s fifth anniversary special issue, titled "The Role Models," starring Laverne Cox, Janet Mock, Carmen Carrera, and Geena Rocero—"the glamorous women who lead the trans revolution."
Now you know exactly what to do the next time you rack up $26.
Everything that looks like candy is not, in fact, candy, and some kids are learning this the hard way — by eating colorful laundry detergent pods and winding up in the hospital.
Let all your friends know: Corgi vs Warhead is the new Baby vs Lemon. Mini, the ever inquisitive Corgi seems to have just found a foreign substance of dubious and sour nature on the ground and would just like to warn everyone of that fact. Is it delicious? Or is it dangerous? Well don't ask Mini—she most…
Ah, Fat Tuesday, when Americans nowhere near New Orleans suddenly decide they simply must get in on the Mardi Gras fun. For instance: A Missouri candy shop is offering fudge to anyone who weighs more than 300 pounds.
