Hello Here is kind of an unusual little story some of you might enjoy. See what you think, Ray

I'm still bitter about the "snickers" thing though! It's a Marathon

Re: Snickers/Marathon. Years ago, in the States, we had both a Snickers bar and a Marathon bar. The Marathon bar was a thick "string" of caramel that zigzagged with strips along the sides and covered in milk chocolate, It was a long flat candy bar. Cadbury now makes the Curly Wurly which is the same (or nearly) as the original Marathon.

Great, my mouth is watering just typing this.

These "candygrams" are a lot of fun to make as a gift. Once you start putting together a personal message for someone, it kinda takes off. always funny.

If I ever reach an age where my own demise is known I wish I can eat M&Ms for my final meals.
