No luck

I had planned to find some Carolina specific candy, but I came up short. Given the parlous state of regional candies, I'm not too surprised. The Carolinas, of course, are home to the lovely soda, Cheerwine, (check out the wierd zig/zag promo - this might make more sense if you live in NC/SC) so I got my hopes up that they might deliver on the candy side. I'm sorry to say that you must avoid Diet Cheerwine like the plague. That stuff is NASTY despite the use of Splenda as a sweetner.
