Another birthday present (another book!) was a book on nostalgic candy. Lots of classics in there, and a few strange ones. The oddest is the
Chicken Dinner, apparently chosen for the connotation of prosperity. I shudder at just what is meant by the Denver Dinner described on
this web page (complete with Chicken Dinner candy truck). In today's climate if we were to have a candy with an inappropriate but topical name, it would have to something on the prurient side. I think the Shocker and the Hot Carl candies can't be far behind. Think I'm crazy? Remember a perfectly respectable brewer has just released the
Golden Shower. O Brave New World!
