    Great spot. Definitely recommend the sour belts. Toxic Waste are shwag warheads but whatever. You're a newb if you combine your chocolate and sours in the same bag. Victoria.

    Goo Goo Clusters! Aside from interstate-side Cracker Barrels & the Internet, I haven't been able to find these delicious Tennessee-made treats anywhere else in Chicago!!! They even have the Supreme!!

    Great Retro candy selection - great shop. Watched them read a little girl's "Candyality" personality based on what was in her bulk candy bag - kid loved it. I picked up a huge Yard of Licorice tube :)

    Nice selection of old school candy, but I would say they were overpriced. Strawberry cheesecake ice cream was DELICIOUS!

    Upon checkout, she looked @ my bag of bulk candy that I had put together and told me what each candy "means"... She described my personality "to a T"! Really cool place!
