Candyland you say? Any details on that?

edit:looked it up on FB, nice.

Just been in there. Bring money is all I would say because your going to want one of everything. There's going to be some happy dentists

Where is candyland

Ficheall

'tis on Lower Abbeygate Street - near Kembali, Couch Potatas, CP, Public Romance or whatever it's called, etc...

Wonder how this will effect business of that other place beside Kelly's Bar/Living Room?

In this Candyland place, do you have access to the shelves, or do you have to ask a person behind a counter what you want?

Apparently they have Vanilla Coke there, i'll be giving it a visit soon

All I can see is a willy wonka-esque shop in my head

I got Twizzlers in the one on Mill Street/Cross Street. They had Hershey Kisses and Tootsie Rolls too if they are your sort of thing.

Was in there yesterday, have a good range of stuff, mostly American stuff you never get here.
Not sure I'd try any of the chocolate though, American chocolate generally isn't as nice as the European stuff.
And I didn't see any Vanilla Coke, though they still seemed to be stocking the place, so hopefully they'll have it in soon.

is their stuff expensive?

A little more expensive than the regular stuff you'd get, probably because they have to import it.
Seemed about €1-€1.50 for the equivalent of stuff that might be 80 or 90c here.

Theres Vanilla coke in the fridge as you walk in the door. Other different cans of stuff there aswell but didn't look to see what they were. Stuff like Jolly ranchers for a €1 are a bargain, havn't had them since I was a kid. Apparently there is a suggestion book in there for anyone wanting to get something ordered in.

Must check it out. Fair play nice to see folk braving it in current times althogh know the rent is expensive on that place...

TheCosmicFrog

Went in there on their opening day. I no longer have to buy my American candy online!

They have A&W Root Beer and Pretzel M&M's too! And Marshmallow Fluff!

Have to say their facebook page is brilliant. They seem to be getting in a lot of stuff that people are suggesting, like lucky charms.
Cant wait to check it out asap.

The supermarkets only have Strawberry Pop Tarts, which I dislike. They used to all have Chocolate and Choco-mallow Pop Tarts but I haven't seen either of them in a few years now.

I'm looking for Blueberry, Cinnamon and Brown Sugar and all the other flavours you can't usually get here.

myself and the girlfriend had the sweet tooth on us today, so we thought we would go down there and treat ourselves, get a dvd and just have a lazy day. have to say was very disappointed, didnt look like anything we couldnt of got at the local shop, nothing really stood out and ended up buying nothing :-( went is far as the shopping centre and went to the pick an mix and made savages of ourselves

The internet has ruined Jolly Ranchers for me!!!

ben.schlomo

found the prices for the likes of Snickers Almond and Reeses Peanut Butter bar ridiculous at €1.50, layout is a bit annoying too, way too narrow, totally cramped when you are trying to look at anything.

Jolly Ranchers, Oh Henry!, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, Twizzlers, Pretzel and Peanut Butter M&Ms, Idaho Spud, Wonka's Everlasting Gobstoppers, Marshmallow Fluff, 5th Avenue, Butterfinger, A&W Root Beer, Vanilla Coke, chocolate-covered pretzels...

All stuff you can't get here and that's only from my retinas recall :eek:

GuessWho2009

lol guesiing u work there. majority of stuff was normal stuff. pic and mix was just a poor selection, no jellies. they had bon bon's stinger bars, black jack bars, wine gums, didnt see anything there that was worth going in there for.
