Chips & Beer’s Candy Primer:   ALMOND JOY/MOUNDS There was a time when Almond Joy was inseparable from Mounds. They even shared the same television airspace. But lately both of these treats make me wonder just what they are trying to imply. It’s the ol’ double meaning marketing trick that goes beyond the simple fact that one has almonds and one does not. For the kids, it’s a chocolate coconut laced sugar high, while for the dad’s it means drifting off into elaborate sun drenched smut scenarios featuring naked well tanned oiled women lounging on tropical beaches. That doesn’t seem too conducive to the spirit of Halloween does it? Big deal. Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t. [Adam Ganderson]
