Yummy Earth Lollipop and Sour Beans Giveaway!

Yummy Earth contacted me about getting the word out about their Organic Lollipops being sold at Target. It's a really big step to get Vegan products into mainstream stores because non-Vegans will buy them and it gives Veganism some positive exposure. Who can argue with a delicious Organic Vegan Lollipop?  I don't do many giveaways, but I love their Lollipops and Sour Beans and I want everyone to try them! Three winners will receive either a giant bag of Lollipops or Sour Beans.

The contest is super easy. Leave a name, valid email and your choice of lollipops or sour beans in the comments. There will be three winners picked Friday at midnight. Good luck!

All Hallow's Eve

Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday. I have so many great memories attached to Halloween such as dressing up in my costume for school, going door to door for candy with my brother, watching lots of scary movies and carving the pumpkin with my Mom. I can trace back my childhood by what costume I wore that year, ie: Chewbacca/1982, Admiral Ackbar/1983, Fake Voltron/1984, Real Voltron/1985, Rambo/1986+1987, Darth Vader 1988, ect. I miss those Ben Cooper costumes even though they were safety hazards and everything.

Well now I'm the old fart handing out treats to kids! On a recent trip to Whole Foods I picked up some candy. Most importantly I wanted the candy to be Vegan, but I also wanted it to be good. The worst thing in the world would be for a kid to throw the candy back at me.

The Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops are making a return appearance. They really are some delicious lollipops. By the end of the night, all of the candy bags were gone and tiny goblins were happy .

So this was my first Vegan MoFo post! As you can tell I'm pretty much a once a month blogger but I'll try my best to do 20 posts this month. I'm excited to see other people's blogs! Check out http://veganmofo.wordpress.com/ for more info.

I Want Candy

Back in 2003 when I went Vegan it was hard to give up certain things, candy was one of them. Most popular forms of candy either had milk chocolate, bone char sugar or gelatin. To say it was frustrating was an understatement. I loved my Twix, Reese’s, Butterfingers, ect, ect.

2010 is a little kinder to candy fiends. New products such as the Go Max Go bars have made life more enjoyable. Below are some sterling examples of Vegan candy. Most of these items were purchased at the Food Fight retail store in Portland, Oregon. I want to thank them for doing the hard work by making sure all of these items are Vegan. If you've never been there, make sure you go!
