Gummy BearThis just in – Miley Cyrus loves gummy bears! OMG LOL it’s so like we’re twins or something!‡

Wait a second – who doesn’t love gummy bears? Am I the only one who thinks it’s weird that this gummy bear thing even needed to be mentioned? Loving them is simply part of the human experience, I thought. Even Miley’s father, with his giant mullet and achey breaky heart, can be cheered up by the little guys.

Other celebrity classic candy favorites include Jerry Seinfeld, who loves Bit-O-Honey. To me, Bit-O-Honey tastes like childhood. I remember my mother saying that she loved them too. Great stuff.

Another of my favorites, Callie from The Real World DC, loves Tic Tacs. What? You don’t know Callie? She is the cute blonde one. You have never seen the show? Some friends and I watch it because it was shot here in DC. Otherwise, I would likely never have seen it either. But back to Callie. She seems like the nicest of all the people cast for the show, and she loves a classic candy. What’s not to love about her?

Well, the celebrities have weighed in. What classic candies rank among your favorites?

‡Miley Cyrus and I are not twins, just for the record. Truth be told, I wouldn’t even recognize her if I saw her on the street, much to the horror of my nieces, who love her. I don’t think I have ever seen her in anything she has done. She is a star of a very different generation. But she loves the gummy bears, so deep down she is my soul mate.

This photo by Flickr user 2-Dog-Farm is simply a fun shot. None of the artistic hoo-hah Susan hates so much when I go on about it. This is just plain fun and creative and a great example of creating your own Halloween memories. There. Happy, Susan?

Have a Cosmic Halloween!

Photo Wednesday is back on track, no longer forgotten and made up for on Thursdays. After that hearty praise Susan gave me, too. Oy.

Flickr user princess_of_llyr has some great candy photos but this one really captured my attention. The translucent gummi bears convey the idea of deliciousness and their grid formation, a rather rigid alignment, is a stark contrast against the fun of the candy and the bright colors. Great composition, Sera! Oh, did I mention that the photographer is the very same Sera who runs The Candy Enthusiast? We are definitely in good company here!

Nice, colorful critters. Photographically, this shot has a lot going for it. Beside a stimulating set of colors, the repeating pattern and imaginary converging lines along the top and bottom of the bears draw the eye to the background while the shallow depth of field, creating a focus on the first bear, draws the eye to the foreground. In short, there’s a lot to see here. Good job, Flickr user Candy Critic!
