Candy Canes

The shepherd's crook. The original maker of the candy cane thought to teach a Christian lesson in his sweet, so he made it like a shepherd's crook for The Good Shepherd, and striped it red to remind the child of the blood shed for his sins.

Candy Canes were invented by the choirmaster one Christmastime for the children who attended the Christmas Mass in Cologne Cathedreal in Germany

A penny could buy you a great many things in the year 1928. A penny could buy a child a piece of candy for example.

Over 4 million people.

Candy canes some in all flavors like fruit, mint, and many others.

The store

In the process of making the candy canes, they put red dye in the mixture, and while they are pully the canes, it forms into lines.

One of the reasons thought to be was: A long while ago in churches, when kids cried, the priest would give them a white cane made of candy (Which represents a Sheppard's cane). Then a little bit later, (It might have been when christ rose or died) They added the red stripes to represent the blood of christ.

Thats just a tale I have heard there are a couple of others.

Candy canes originated from Germany.

Although associated with Christmas, they were actually invented to make children be quiet in church!

A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany was fed up with children interrupting his nativity scenes on Christmas Eve. So he commissioned a local sweetmaker to make a hard, stick-like sweet that children could suck on for a long period to keep them quiet. He specifically asked for a crook on top of the stick, to resemble the canes used by the shepherds in the nativity (and also because canes were used to punish naughty children!).

Their popularity spread through Europe, often being handed out at nativity plays. Later on they found themselves becoming a Christmas tree decoration.

They might. I think they do, but you would have to do lots of research into the History of Candy Canes to find out.

According to one story, the curve on the end was introduced so they could be hung on the back of a church pew.

well i would say like 1000 because you only get them on christmas ir before christmas.

so wrong.... only one of the many candy cane producers 'estimates' their production to be twenty-five million+ pieces a year. Spangler in Bryan Tx., reported to be the largest candy cane maker in the nation, makes 2.7 million candy canes a day during the season. Also, keep in mind they also come in many flavors and colors now and not just the traditional peppermint.

If he is like me his wife canes him because he beged her to.

The Japan Candy Cane is a unique Japanese snack that combines the traditional candy cane shape with various flavors and textures, often featuring fruity or sweet tastes. Unlike the typical peppermint flavor found in Western candy canes, these Japanese versions may include flavors like matcha, strawberry, or even seasonal variations. Additionally, they may be made from different ingredients, such as rice or gelatin, offering a distinctive twist. The Japan Candy Cane is popular during festive seasons and as a novelty treat.

In 1670 in Germany, but they were not red/white but white only. It wasn't until the 20th century that stripes were added.

Everyone probably has their own preferences, but I would take 100 pounds of money in 100 dollar bills or larger.

its a play about a couple of kids that learn the true meaning of Christmas just like every Christmas play

Talking Sticks...

Unfortunately, Bob's stopped making sugar free candy canes in 2010. After searching everywhere, we called the company in 2012 looking for them as they are (were) the best-tasting s.f. candy canes and were told they stopped production two years ago.

Canes can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and fiberglass. Traditional wooden canes are often crafted from hardwoods like oak or maple, while modern canes may utilize lightweight metals like aluminum or durable plastics for ease of use. Some canes also feature padded grips and ergonomic designs for added comfort. Additionally, decorative canes may incorporate materials such as acrylic or leather for aesthetic appeal.
