Eye Candy: Candy by Color Ideal for Weddings and Events

Posted on by

Wedding Candy by Color

Whatever your passion, black, red, yellow, brown…. sweet, sour or just a tad spicy; colored candy is eye candy that will make your mouth water. The idea of colored candy is so simple and yet so sexy and why didn’t someone think of it sooner? White wedding candy, red valentine’s candy, black and white formal or yellow friendship candy are all the trendy rage of any shindig or sentiment worth its salt, or should I say sugar!

We took a look around the world to see what other people think of colored candy and we found some really great stuff! In New Zealand a lolly scramble is a tradition at any event with kids. This is an event where thousands of lollies (colored candy) are thrown from a moving vehicle where masses of children are waiting to scramble for as many as they can carry in their hands and pockets. Believe it or not, large bags of colored candy are sometimes actually thrown out of an airplane onto fields of rampaging children. What would be more amazing than a lolly scramble in a child’s party theme colors?

Of course the piñata is an old Mexican tradition in which children hit at a hanging paper-maché object until it breaks and candy falls. A great colored candy spin on this tradition is where colored candy is used that coincides with the colors of the donkey, or whatever other creature the kids have just bashed to bits – talk about a surprise!

Over on the other side of the world (an English political function) one grown-up event that was absolutely unforgettable was a high profile fundraiser. It had seat covers which became loot bags for raiding the spectacular colored candy tables at the end of the night. The entire candy buffet was laid out in the colors of the organization holding the event and the cloth bags matched to create a keepsake, parting gift and thank you – all in a single colorful gesture. The opportunities for colored candy themes are limited only by the imagination.

The colored candy theme idea has become so popular around the world that there are now color schemers who can, and will, put together a custom theme. Some examples of custom themes are emotive, like a love candy color scheme, or celebratory as with a christening candy color scheme. Some of the hottest schemes today are apparently; 20s, 70s, Brown, Vibrant and Zot. If you can’t afford your own personal colored candy schemer you may be relieved to know that you can buy color scheme software instead. While this might be a little over the top for some, the idea of color coordinating everybody’s favorite food with an event or feeling is popular.

On a more intimate note the colored candy theme is being used in more personal ways; to cheer up someone with a get well bouquet of rainbow colors or to say I am thinking of you in the recipient’s favorite hue. If the eye candy you have in mind isn’t edible, what will win her (his) heart more sweetly than bouquet of red colored candy? Multi colored candy really is the new black!

Gummy Bear Colors Personality Profiles 


Posted on by

Yellow is warm like sunshine and represents hope and happiness. Everyone has a favorite color of gummy bears candy so the question is does your favorite gummy colored candy reflect your personality or is it just coincidence? The following information about colors will help you to decide. Yellow, in addition to that already said, is also the most joyful psychological color, it instills a sense if well being and optimism for the future. It is also said that yellow generates energy and creative thought. So in theory yellow colored candy gummy bear lovers may reflect these wonderful and bright features in their personalities.

Red gummy bears are a whole different colored candy story. Red is passionate, vivacious and exciting. Red also represents beauty and comfort. If colored candy gummy bears can predict personality then red gummy bear lovers would surely be lovers of luxury, beauty and divinity. Orange gummy bears must then represent those who represent the best of everything lively, extreme and passionate because they are of course a combination of both these vivacious colors. It may not be purely coincidental then, that one can readily purchase packets of gummy bears with red, yellow and orange gummies only.

Blue gummy bears lovers may be equally happy but are probably more grounded. It is the color of calm, introspect and constancy like the sky and the sea. Blue is also the color of royalty and yet it is a steady and fulfilling color. Purple gummy bears are of course a combination of red and blue which surely indicates an interesting personality for those who choose these treats as their colored candy of choice. Passionate and grounded surrounded by beauty and comfort (royalty even); a spectacular colored candy combination.

What can we say then of those who most enjoy the rich yet colorless colored flavors of black and white gummy bears? Odd’s are that it’s better than you thought. Black is powerful and authoritative. Despite all of the sinister color connotations often associated with black as a color (or lack of) it is actually a peaceful meditative color. Black is also of course the color of sophistication. White is pure and clear, the color of simplicity and peace. White is clean and uncomplicated, a straight-up you know what your getting and what your getting is good kind of color. In that light both black and white seem pretty all right, and isn’t it interesting that many whose first choice in colored candy is black will choose white as their second choice and visa versa.

Other colored candy gummy bears available with equally tasty but less definite color connotations include green, panda, chocolate, swirly, anise, cinnamon, sour, peach and techno gummy bears. And for those who enjoy nothing more than a packet of multi-colored gummy bear candy, you must represent the generalist, the person who is above all fair, the epitome of moderation and equal representation. You are the well rounded diplomat of candy colored flavored gummies!

Candy Stripers

Posted on by

While the term candy striper may conjure up visions of young women dressed in red and white handing out sweet chocolate candy trifles, the term candy striper actually and surprisingly, has nothing to do with candy (except that they make people happy!). Candy stripers are actually hospital volunteers who go around cheering patients up by offering a friendly face, a happy disposition and some company to those who are sick and possibly depressed or lonely. While the candy striper’s were a common sight in hospitals in the past it is only recently, with increased understanding about the relationship between psychological and physical well being, that they have once again begun to take on the role in hospitals.

Candy stripers are often young people who are able to lighten the atmosphere with their youthful vitality. They often also have an interest in entering the health care field. The candy striper job offers them excellent insight to what it is like to care for the sick and gives them a better idea as to whether they are suited to a caring profession. While candy stripers were traditionally female, the modern candy striper may be male or female without raising eyebrows.

The term candy striper of course comes from the outfit these girls traditionally wore which was a red and white striped, candy cane colored, uniform. Today candy stripers generally wear their own street clothes or if appropriate for the hospital area, regular hospital greens. While the primary job of a candy striper is, and always has been, to cheer up and spend time with patients most candy stripers also help with practical duties, usually under the supervision of the hospital nursing staff.

While the job of a candy striper is a volunteer position, for a student interested in health (or a student who has not yet held paid employment) it is also an excellent achievement to have on a CV.  Of course there is also the satisfaction of helping others which is fulfilling in its own right.
