Needles & Grooves

What other confection can you hone to a needle point in your mouth and stab yourself/others with? Hmmmmmm?

Seriously though, it is easily the least convenient format for mint.

The worst are the little ones that have been sitting in the back of your Nan's candy cupboard for 2+ years. The top layer gets a bit soft. Yuck!!

The next unbroken candy cane I see that doesn't push tears out of one of my kids on account of its brokenness will be the first one.

You can melt a Candy Cane onto a Steely Dan record. Sounds like something that could be useful to @Mather. Therefore Candy Canes are not (completely) garbage.
