MINNESOTAS LARGEST CANDY STORE!!!!
 |
| See my boys up there? They so CONQUERED THIS STORE! |
Indeed it was the largest candy store i have ever been in my entire life.
IT WAS AWESOME!!!
You may think that its not that huge. (it is)
You may also think to yourself that you are an adult and you can handle it. (you cant. because once you walk through those doors all sense of rational goes out the window)
BUT
Before you get in your car and drive out to Jordan MN to relive your childhood and go all sugar crazy there are some must know TIPS for you to handle your self like a rational adult and leave with SOME money left over in your account!!!
Are you ready?
LETS GO!!!

| Front of store. You CAN NOT see the back of the store from here. |
Step 1: Pace yourself. This store is HUGE. And
there is plenty to look at. So take your time. Don't rush.
