Sweet Cred
Friday, June 17, 2005 13:02Liz Schwartz from headphones-on.com seems to be the only flickr user so far to upload photos from Candy Expo in Chicago. Well, she’s the only person to tag her photos with candyexpo, at this point…
A portion of "The Haul"

UPDATE: A few more stories about the All Candy Expo:
Philip Potempa, reporting for Northwest Indiana News, writes: “The consensus among media types covering the show was that numbers were down and people in the candy industry aren’t so sweet these days in our modern world of carb- and calorie-counting consumers.”
Sanhita Sen, writing for The Chicago Tribune, filed a story that describes the most interesting products by category: the good, the bad and the clever. Good? Too Tart candies that replaced sugar with fruit juice. Bad? Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans in booger, rotten egg and vomit. Clever? Chocpix chocolate photographs that turn 3D in the sunlight.

It ain’t right.
Meanwhile, reports from that event have been few and far between. It’s the national candy expo, for cripe’s sake. Organizers may actually be doing exhibitors a disservice by not letting credible writers in to spread the word about the new wares.
