candy

I didn't eat a lot candy growing up. All my Halloween chocolate ended up in the freezer, and then in cookies many months later. It was traumatic.

But, that might have been a good thing. Some experts now believe too many sweets as a kid might make you a more aggressive adult.

I don't know. I'm pretty much sugar-free now, but if someone cuts me off in traffic, it's on!

Thank grandma for reaching into her enormous purse and handing out licorice candies.

A new study claims licorice oil boosts weight-loss, and may help with weight management and prevent metabolic syndrome.

The makers of Pez--the ammunition clip of the candy world--are calling for the head of the world's largest Pez dispenser, a giant snowman on display at the Museum of Pez Memorabilia in Burlingame, California.

Curators of the museum say the 7 foot, 10 inch snowman pays homage to the well-known candy. But, the Pez Candy Company isn't blushing, filing a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court, demanding the behemoth be melted down.

Lamar Odom is a candy addict! Remember last week, we learned that the Los Angeles Lakers power forward fuels his body on mini-candy bars and Gummy Bears. He says eating candy before games helps him play better.

Now check this out. ESPN followed Lamar's personal assistant around as he shops--AND SHOPS--for Lamar's goodies. The video is amazing! Sometimes, Lamar actually wakes up at 3 in the morning, eats some candy and then goes back to sleep.

The Los Angeles Lakers are licking their chops in anticipation of the Orlando Magic coming to town for this year's NBA Finals, especially power forward Lamar Odom - but Lamar's probably busy picking bits of Gummy bears out of his teeth!

In the play-offs Lamar battled through a bad back and credits eating candy for his double-double performance in Games 5 and 6 of the Western Conference finals, helping to stomp out the Denver Nuggets.

Like marshmallow Peeps, the eggs have earned a cult following, arguably edging out chocolate rabbits as the quintessential holiday treat, but some consumer groups aren't sold on them.

Now, it's not nearly as bad as Skynet becoming self aware, but it isn't good either. Researchers from the University of Illinois claim after being exposed to advertisements promoting exercise, people actually experience an increase in appetite and eat more.

It's that time of year when you go looking for gadgets and gifts. The Shockolate Vault is a transparent jar that gives you an electric shock if you open it before time.
