One year she received one from a co-worker as a grab bag gift. She talked about how thoughtful this gift was for years! Trust me, we are all tired of the story! We also tried to figure out how many  she has eaten in her lifetime. I think we calculated in excess of 12,000. Its just funny!

A few years back we moved from New York to Texas. One of her fears was that she would not be able to find a store that sold her favorite lollipops. But she did. Albertsons sold them and she was happy. It got so bad, the cashiers knew her as the sugar daddy lady, which sounded funny since the term sugar daddy can have another meaning! But unfortunately Albertsons went out of business. 

Shortly after she was diagnosed with Glaucoma and almost lost her sight in her right eye. Thankfully, she was treated and went for surgery to receive a new cornea. As a get well present I went on the internet and found your website and ordered 5 boxes of the large sugar daddies! When she received them, she was in heaven! She told me that getting the sugar daddies beat flowers any day. Thank you for letting me share my story!   Michelle from Texas

More memories... While growing up in the 1970’s, one of my fondest memories was purchasing and eating Sugar Daddy caramel suckers. My Father gave me quarters to buy the treats. On my way home from school my friends and I would stop at the local Stop and Go Store where I would stock-up with one or sometimes two Sugar Daddies. They were always good and stuck to the roof of my mouth and to my teeth. I remember chewing the caramel from around the stick - that was the best part, although I knew it was the end of the treat - so it was sad at the same time.

The second best part of my Sugar Daddy was receiving the Animal Cards, which were between the white waxed paper and the outer yellow wrapper. Loving all animals has been my passion long before I was old enough to eat candy, so seeing the pictures of the various wild animals and learning about the fun facts, which were printed on the back of each card was such a thrill. My father encouraged me to collect the cards and they became my first experience of collecting. I was, however, a little discouraged that I had tossed so many of the cards from prior years. Dad assured me that starting the collection with the cards I had would pay off in the future. Often I felt cheated since there were so many cards I had not seen. I wondered what animals were on those cards and what facts were there to learn.

Many years later I realized that I had saved a stack of the Sugar Daddy Cards. It was when my wife was passing away from cancer and I needed to find something to redirect my attention. Looking on EBay I was pleased to not only reacquaint myself with the cards I had tossed from years before but to see the cards I had never seen but had always wondered about. Continuing my collection helped me through this tough time. I currently have collected all but eleven of the Sugar Daddy cards from each of the ten series, which bear animals. ~ George from California.

More memories... Our local grocery store had a contest. Whoever ate the most Sugar Daddy's would win a GIANT Sugar Daddy. I bought and bought and ate and ate and guess what? I won! After eating all the small ones, winning the big one didn't appeal to me after I got it! Took me about a year to finish it! I'm just amazed I didn't pull out any teeth either! ~ Joy from Tennessee
