It has recently come to my attention that the advertising department for Spree® candy is not completely in tune with what the public wants. The outside of the package proclaims:
Spree®: It's a kick in the mouth!Presumably this is meant to entice you to buy more candy. I mean, I know I always like to purchase candy that will physically attack me. In fact, it is one of my primary considerations when purchasing a candy. Not "What does this candy taste like?" or "What are the available flavors?" Not even "How much does this candy cost as compared to the amount of change in my pocket?" Oh no, when I am wandering down the candy isle, I assure you that the burning question in my mind is: "How much pain is this candy capable of inflicting upon me?"
