Unreal Candy

Okay, so I was just listening to a Webseminar about Unreal Candy and I was Really impressed.  I HAVE tasted Unreal Candy before and it was okay.  Unreal Candy is currently on sale at Target for 89 cents for a single -- which is not an Out of Control price.  The price at CVS is higher. 

So, for the next 2 weeks, go into Target and pick up some Unreal Candy and try it for yourself.  I was hoping to get to sample the candy, but unfortunately, I guess that they decided that I did not tell enough people.  :(
