A long time ago in a land far away someone invented candy sticks to make noisy children shut the FORK up for when they are in church. It was also written that some German dude got the idea to put a little religion into the candy sticks by adding a Shepard’s hook.

Some time has passed and someone else got the idea to add hyssop flavor to the candy canes because hyssop was used in the Old Testament for purification and sacrifice. Maybe nobody wanted child sacrifice on their hands so they stopped adding hyssop to the candy canes. But maybe they changed to peppermint flavor because peppermint was cheaper?

Then they added the White Stripes.

Or was it the red stripes? Symbolizing the blood of Christ?

Maybe you noticed that candy canes often anything that’s NOT peppermint flavored?

Brisket flavored candy canes

Butter flavored candy canes

Sour cream and onion flavored candy canes

Kale flavored candy canes

Pickle flavor candy canes

Mac & cheese flavored candy canes

Sardine flavored candy canes

It doesn’t really matter WTFORK flavor that the candy cane is……If it’s in the mouth the kid with SHUT THE FORK UP!

This was a little bit of what happened to the Christmas Candy Cane.

That’s All Folks!

Merry Everything and have a Happy New Year!
