Book summaryLongtime candy-lover Steve Almond investigates the candy business, visiting factories, interviewing candy moguls and fans, reminiscing about Halloweens past, and waxing nostalgic on the subject of his personal favorite, the Caravelle bar (r.i.p.). He also bemoans the fact that three giant manufacturers (Mars, Hershey, and Nestle) have a corner on the market, and have forced many smaller ones out of business. Media reviews"...Almond goes at the subject as if he were a giddy 5-year-old, creating an entertaining book full of repeatable tidbits about the candy industry." |
