Jumbo mint balls the size of peach pits are responsible for the tragic choking deaths of two young New York City girls only two days apart. It's freakish flukes like this that are hog heaven for New York Post headline editors. And while it's no "Headless Body In Topless Bar," today's "KILLER CANDY" cover, with a photo of the peppermint perpetrator looming over its innocent pig-tailed victims, was certainly enough to make me gag on my Cap'n Crunch. Paramedics rushed to the scene but I coughed it up just in time for the following candy-as-redeemer item on Page Six.
CBGB owner Hilly Krystal and chi-chi downtown confectioner Chocolate Bar are unveiling two limited edition lines of chocolate CBGB products this Monday. The CBGB's Punk Rock Box includes a 16 piece truffle collection embossed with the history and iconic images of CBGB's illustrious past, complete with a postage-paid petition to save CBGB's. Also available are CBGB Retro Bars in two flavors - dark chocolate with espresso crunch or milk chocolate with hazelnuts. We suspect Joey Ramone was more of a no-frills Gem Spa egg cream kind of guy but he'd no doubt appreciate the sweet sentiment.
