"S", reporting from the chill, but scenic, Hudson Valley:
"I have a bottle cap woman candy dish (2 bowl- tiers) with relics of nostalgic and foreign souvenir candy, all going back 20 years at least. I picked thru it like a dental technician and pulled the following: Wax lips that used to be red, faded to this Fiesta shade of yellow; Necco & Bazooka that still is sold in baby boomer novelty-shops, so not-so-special; Atomic Fire Ball that has faded to a pathetic pink; some sweet-tarty thing that has goo on it; and a pack of gum from Beijing (souvenir from the 2008 Olympics) that is just plain old Wrigleys with Chinese writing. Already this unpalatable plate is in the garbage."

While cleaning out the top bowl (her hat) I discovered the LIKE box that I thought I had lost or tossed when I moved. So, this purging-thing has its benefits--regurgitating lost treasures and treats! Mixed blessings all around. Pass the licorice.
