Somewhere out there is a site with a bunch of regional and discontinued foods for sale. They sell a bunch of hard-to-find stuff like Qwisp cereal and Black Jack gum. I thought it was [hometownfoods.com](http://hometownfoods.com), but I guess I was wrong. Does anyone know this site? ---

Speaking of websites and edibles, [The Ultimate Bad Candy Website](http://www.bad-candy.com/) is a friggin’ hoot. It seems to be on a laggy server, so be patient…waiting builds character. Sorry for the high-jack…go about your business. ---

Here’s a website. [http://www.purple.com](http://www.purple.com) It doesn’t have any food, but it does have a _lot_ of, ummm … purple. ---

Let me give you the link [http://www.hometownfavorites.com/](http://www.hometownfavorites.com/) ---

It is indeed [hometownfavorites.com](http://www.hometownfavorites.com). Of course, if you’re looking for something a little more exotic, try [japanesesnacks.com](http://www.japanesesnacks.com). Or perhaps you’d like to peruse the bafflingly odd shelves of the stupid candy museum at [stupid.com](http://www.stupid.com). Or some Hawaiian chocolates at [Kailua-candy.com](http://www.kailua-candy.com/). Sorry for the digression, but it seemed like just saying “ **vanilla** ’s second one was right” was wasting a perfectly good post. ---
