Ugh, people can't have fun.. they always need the news to be about bad things.As some one has stated, most of these foods DO get donated. Or are passed out to everyone outside the factory/store. (everyone as in everyone. Homeless or not) Just because it doesn't say it, doesn't mean they didn't. I mean, they'd be stupid to just throw out all their hard work like that.

Oh my! They had me at that huge Jolly Rancher lollipop! I would buy JR sticks (cherry was my favorite, sour apple was second) when I went to the movies back in the early 70s with my girlfriend. I'd be sucking away on those during such movies as "Love Story," "Towering Inferno" and whatever midnight showing they were playing! Good thing I wasn't at the unveiling...I'd probably have wanted to eat it all!
