Chantiki for President
As you know, the position of Candy President is the single most powerful office in the world of Sweets. Through its leadership can come a more delicious life for all people. In it, are centered the hopes of sugar-lovers worldwide and anyone who longs to be treated to a tastier life.
Your next Candy President will be charged with making the most important and yummy decisions of the next four years. How to provide the mouthwatering gift of candy to all people, even in a weakened economy that already threatens our very ability to procure sweets. How to maintain important chocolate and licorice production levels at home and abroad. How to rebuild and maintain a viable infrastructure of sugar development through more candy funding and research. How to prevent the collapse of our local sweet shops and the decay of our teeth. How to achieve, without further sickness, expanded candy consumption benefiting all people. And how, in a time of booming social change, to awaken every man, woman and child to the fact that a piece of comfort, a piece of candy, can lift us up to the new delectable heights.
These are among some the very real, very sweet issues facing us in the coming Candy Election. And it is on the basis of these issues that candy-lovers and candy-voters must make the most tasteful choice for their future.
It is with a knowledge and understanding of all these matters firmly in hand, that I am announcing today my official candidacy for President of the United States of Candy.
I invite you to join me in this improbable quest, if you, like me, see the future of delicious possibility stretching before us. Together, starting today, let us delight in the tasty work that needs be done, and usher in a new dawn of sweet revival for this nation.
Yes We Candy!
Well, for starters, I'm a QA Software Engineer from South Florida.
Candy has always been important in my life, so I’m glad that you are taking up the issue. Finally, a candidate who has my interests at heart. However, after the awful Sugar Baby incident of ‘09 (a horrible incident of choking on sugar baby juice for those of you who are not familiar), I hope you will consider banning their production entirely. Another issue I feel strongly about is the fact that Raisinets are called candy at all, and sold in movie theaters with said misnomer. This is a disturbing trend. I hope you will take up the issue of having them renamed chocolate covered raisins so that the truth be known. The precedent was set by strawberries and peanuts, and raisins should follow suit. “Chocolate covered raisins” is a more accurate name for Raisinets. This change would result in fewer angry children and adults expecting delicious candy and biting into a shriveled chocolate covered raisin instead. In the movie theater, Raisinets should be presented separately from the candies with the correct label. I hope you will consider these issues. If so, you will receive my vote.
Stacy, your points are well taken and very important to us at the campaign. It has not been well publicized but I have long been a proponent of the downgrade in status of Raisinettes from candy to chocolate-covered fruit. You and I share similar ideas and I hope that it is not putting the cart before the horse when I ask you to consider a position as the Secretary of Sweets in the event that I am elected.
