The Candy Aisle
3/22/2009
As I write this review, I'm chomping away on a Chupa Chups lollipop from the Candy Aisle. I had just been thinking about Chupa Chups the other week, and how I hadn't seen them in ages, then today wandered in to the Candy Aisle and there they were, along with all sorts of other sweet things I haven't seen recently or can't normally get in Canada.
I'm a bit surprised at how many other reviewers have mentioned the Tim Tams; there must be quite a market for them. I don't know why the supermarkets stopped carrying them. I, too, was pleasantly surprised to see them stocked, and not just regular Tim Tams; they also have the dark chocolate kind (which I'll have to try).
They have a make-your-own pixy stix machine! Luckily, I managed to resist its charms (for now).
The imported candy can be a little pricey, but that's to be expected, and overall, the prices are still pretty reasonable.

1 Check-in Here
In order of excitement:
+ I like salty snacks, so British chips with a logo that looks like Lay's but with a different name intrigued me. Flavours I've never seen before, so I forgot what they were! I'll check them out again.
+ 21 colours of M&M's -- including white and black -- that you can buy in bulk. Sorted by colour. I should have come here when I was trying to get chocolates in my wedding colours!!
+ Chocolate-covered bugs!
+ Chupa Chups and lots of lolipops.
+American candies, too, like Airheads -- like Starbursts in flat form with even more artificial flavour -- that kids at my Jr. High grew up on.
+ Mints and candies in interesting canisters -- Super Nintendo controllers, Pac-Man, Hello Kitty.
I'm coming back here for sure, next time with pocket-money.
With lots of things under a dollar, I'm not surprised they have a minimum $2.50 for Cash/Credit.

I heart candy stores. I also owe a special thanks to this candy store for introducing me to Steak and Onion and Roasted Chicken flavored crisps.
That being said, considering I live in Portland, Oregon I'm going to now be undergoing a withdrawel phase because I won't have them anymore. But it's ok. I'll live. No worries.

A little bias, but I used to work here, it was like the greatest job, people would come here and beam. I still come in here, and get loot (Red Licorice Taffy is the work of the devil, so so good) and people are still beaming, people are still buying their candy, and yes, people still don;t realize if you open the bulk bins the wrong way, candy falls on the floor (that;s right, just kick it under the display, noone will notice)

Yes, I heart candy. Especially candies from foreign lands, like the Aussie favourite, Tim Tams, delectable little chocolate covered cookies that can be dunked in coffee or hot chocolate, mmmmm. The Candy Aisle offers up a vast assortment of sweet treats to rot away your teeth, from all over the world. They have recently added ice cream to the long list of tasty morsels, from Jelly Belly's (bacon, vomit, worm and booger flavours not withstanding) to chocolate covered gummy bears and a wall full of Pez candies and collectable dispensers.
I am always making excuses to walk by this shop and I love that it is open till late most nights!

Yay! Candy! Even on a dark and gloomy day, this place brings a smile to my face. Who doesn't' love candy?
If there's ever really a situation where overkill isn't a bad thing, it's here. They don't stop at your standard childhood favourites like Jelly Belly and Pez Dispensers (Pez!). Oh no. They've compiled future favourites in lunchbox tins, assembled every possible kind of bubble gum available (when was the last time you tried to blow a bubble?). Their selection of chocolate bars puts wholesalers to shame. And Tim Tams! I didn't know if I'd ever see you again!
Okay, I think I've used enough exclamation marks for the day.

Quite possibly the happiest place in Kitsalano AND Vancouver. I walk by here (the kits location) pretty much every day on my way to work and without question everything from content (Candy from all over the world) to design (big bright colours), this place is beaming with happiness. I challenge you to find a SAD person in this store. With all of your childhood favourites (pop rocks and dip sticks) to the downright weird (candy covered bugs, and BBQ meal works), the Candy Aisle is the place to go for delicious delicious caramel coated happiness.
