These “inspectors” just make the law up as they go along? I’d just shut the store down and say, “Now try collecting any taxes from this place...see if zero helps you out and pays your salary.”

You have to wonder, though, did all those penny candy dealers get kickbacks from the local dentists? tell me about it....at age 16 the dentist filled 32 cavities with that nice mercury filling...I only had 28 teeth.

Indeed we have.
All the while, you can buy crack or Heroin on every street corner. What a world, huh?

Maybe the shoppe should sell candy penises to young boys in the name of diversity which to the locals would be acceptable over the evil cigarettes? We can teach them to use their sex organs as disease amplifiers but we can’t have anything that looks like an evil cigarette.

Jesse hasn't been governator over there for a while. While one cannot necessarily judge politics by geography, I have noticed that people tend to get more liberal as one goes eastward from the center of the continent.
Imho, the nuts in Minnesota (a subset of the population) ought to be left as a topping for sundaes, not put in political office, but it is their State, not mine.

City inspectors justifying their existence at the expense of little kids.

We had a place “Riddles” run by Mrs. Riddle. She was the meanest woman on the planet, but her little store was across from my elementary school ( I lived across the street from school & went home for lunch)& it was filled w/ every candy treasure & icecream! She must have made a fortune off us kids. We were terrified of her, but greediness for her goods kept us coming back.
She found out who my grandmother was & then she was pretty nice to me. I have really fond memories of that place & time. It was so innocent. I also loved the candy dots on the strip of paper. My husband loves BB bats & I will ocasionally buy him the little .59 cent bag.

That’s the neat thing about grandfathers. My screen just got blurry.
Amazing how you managed to survive all that sugar and roaming the neighborhood by yourself without worry. Those were the days.

Nickle pops? I forgot about those.....
I grew up on a farm in MN and every Friday night during the summer we would go into town and my parents would give me a quarter to spend and I remember getting a bag full of candy. Sometimes that would include candy cigs. or cigars that were usually a pastel color.....
I had the best childhood.....
