I took that picture above inside of a Toms River pharmacy and convenience store a good two and a half weeks ago. I was going to write about how Christmas was barely over and it wasn't even the new year yet, and they were already pushing Valentine's Day.
But I'm glad I didn't write about it, because it makes this display below, spotted a few days ago by a friend, even more confounding:
We've had a lot of head to head matchups going on lately with Ocean County Mascot Madness. And now that we're in the final round (where we will definitely beat Monmouth County, right?), we turned our attention to another epic battle for the ages - Easter candy.
It's the candy that represents Easter and Spring with all of their colors. It's a great filler in the Easter basket, there are so many different flavors and colors and President Ronald Reagan LOVED this colorful, sweet candy.
