It's a fun way for the bride or groom and their crew to enjoy some sweet (and boozy) treats while creating unforgettable memories before one of the most memorable days!

     Baby Showers: Delight expectant parents and their guests with an entertaining blind candy-tasting experience during a baby shower. Take it up a notch by incorporating this into other arranged games, adding a sugary twist to an already special day.

     Bridal Showers: Create a fun and interactive activity for the bride-to-be and her friends by incorporating a blind candy tasting into the bridal shower. It's a unique way to bring everyone together and add some sweetness to the event.

     Birthday Parties: Add an exciting twist to birthday celebrations by organizing a blind candy tasting. Guests can enjoy the surprise element while indulging in delicious candies. We even have a kids' version with no spicy or liquor-infused flavours!

     Girls' Night In: Elevate a girls' night by incorporating a blind candy-tasting activity. It offers a fun and interactive experience for friends to bond, laugh, and enjoy while sampling various candies. Sweatpants and face-masks are highly encouraged.

     Office Meeting: Spice up a stagnant meeting with a blind candy-tasting challenge that will have your coworkers participating! It's a great way to alleviate stress, foster a fun work environment, and satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. You'll have time after to chat about actual work!

     

    Each Blind Candy Tasting Package Includes

    • Ten Tasting CandyGrams - numbered 1-10, containing one type of candy per box. (10 to 20 candies in each). These are the testing candy. Guests will open one box at a time and pass it around to try the candy.
    • Sample Candy Bags - with one or two of the ten candy types in each bag for your guests to take home!
    • Candy Score Cards - everyone can write notes, make guesses, and rate the candies.
    • Blind Candy Tasting Answer Sheet - This sheet will come sealed in an envelope until after the tasting, so there is no cheating. Your sheet will reveal each candy's flavours, names, and fun facts!
    • One Regular Rainbow CandyGram - to be awarded to the guest who made the most correct guesses

    Remember, the key is to have fun, let loose, and enjoy the delicious surprises our blind candy-tasting package brings to these events. So go ahead and savour the sweetness in every moment!

    The Candies we miss the MOST!

     

    Candy is part of our childhood. Going to the candy shop, or local convenience store, and stocking up on a bag of your favourite treats was a weekly ritual for most of us. 

     

    Sometimes, it still is. But, what ever happened to some of those candies that we loved so much? Here at the Sugar Cube, we like to have a moment of silence for all those candies that are no longer around.

     

     Here are our top five discontinued treats that we wish we could still buy:

     
    Mojo Taffy
    <<Pic from: http://twitpic.com/91k6la>>

    Yum, the sweet taste of chewy taffy! There is something pleasant about chewing on these little sugary treats. Although you cannot find these anymore, we found a substitution! Check out Millions! We find that the texture you get when you chew them is the closest you can get to that Mojos texture. They're also so delicious!

     

    Bubble Jug
    << Pic from: https://www.ohnuts.com>>

    If you don't recognize these little Bubble Jug's - you will be a minority. They were everywhere! These little containers were filled with chewy bubble gum! They were pretty fun to carry around too! 

     

    Ouch – Bubble Gum

    The flavour of this gum used to last FOREVER! It used to be a hot commodity to share among your friends! Plus, it looked like band-aids and that was just TOO cool. 

     

    Dweebs

    Just as tasty as nerds! These little guys were sweet, crunchy candy that would keep you entertained! We wish we could pick up a pack of these - right now! 

     Punkys
    <<Pic from: Pintrest>>

    We are missing these tangy and delicious treats! They were one of the best to make our tongue cry for EVEN more! 


    We wish these childhood candies would come back! In the mean time, we will settle for new and delicious candies that come along!
