I'm not sure that this is anything other than an argument for not attending Trivia Nights at pubs or bars, but from the 'did you know?' folder: Did you know that Reece's Pieces are the official candy of the state of New York and that Salt Water Taffy has the same status in New Jersey?
I know; better question: did you care?
Here in the Land of Steady Habits, I assumed (with all the attendant dangers that come with that word) that PEZ is the official candy of Nutmeggers but House Bill 5498, currently being considered by the Government Administration and Elections Committee, would suggest it's a fresh wind that blows against the empire.
And with the Sea Dogs of Portland in Maine and CR Foster of Portland on The Other Coast, why not let our Portland be the Golf Capital of the State, even if you're just playing through?
Jacqueline Glick and classmate Amelia Neubauer the engines for change of the state candy even have themselves a catch phrase not only rivaling 'Fifty-Four Forty Or Fight' and 'Tippecanoe and Tyler Too' but, in my opinion, eclipsing them, '...Laughter, Love, and Lollipops.'
If Millie Small were still among us, I think she'd say, 'and I endorse this message.'
