Candycanes are annoying candies. The plastic wrapper is nearly impossible to remove. I mean impossible. If can skin it down a bit, you can the. suck on it down to the plastic wrap. But then your choices are: A. try to peel if back farther and get your fingers all sticky and messy. B. put the thing, plastic and all, in your mouth and try to extricate the candy from the wrapper while chewing and sucking both, then spit out the nasty plastic. C. just pitch the thing. I chose C this morning.
