I assume the candy will be dropped as individual pieces. If the plan is to drop whole cases, you may want to get Les Nessman to cover the story live.

Barb, thanks for posting the video, I realized after my post that there is an entire generation who has no idea who the infamous 5 time recipient of the Buckeye Newshawk Award and the coveted Silver Sow Award is.

I realized after watching the Tom Petty video that the end scene, where he walks from a cave into the sea and back, is the basis for the opening of each "Boardwalk Empire" episode, including the riffs.
