Don’t eat the wax!

Halloween means all kinds of candy including candy corn which people seem to either love or hate. When I was a kid my favorite was wax candy bottles, wax candy flavored lips and mustaches! I think they’re still around. If you’ve never savored the one drop of yummy liquid in a wax bottle you are truly missing out on one of life’s greatest tastes. However, when I was a kid we ate the wax too. I recently read that “although the food grade wax is safe to eat, it should be done in very small amounts”. With that said, do yourself a favor and get some little wax bottles, enjoy the ‘drink’ inside but don’t eat the wax. You’ll thank me later.
