The candy man cometh

If you are in the area of Michigan Avenue between Illinois and Wacker Drive tomorrow, stop by Pioneer Plaza (in front of 401 Michigan Avenue). Mars Snackfood, the makers of M & M's, Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, Dove and 3 Musketeers will be giving away free samples of its candies. Why, you ask? It seems that Mars did a survey to find out which American city is in need of a little chocolate joy, and Chicago won.

And if you like NASCAR, get your sugar fix and racing fix at the same time because Kyle Bush will be handing out the sweet samples.

Yummy!

UPDATE: The bags of candy that my coworkers got yesterday from the Mars giveaway were obscene! I assumed that they would be handing out mini candy bars and just a few to each person. So wrong! They were passing out full size candy bars, and the folks passing it out were just loading up people's bags. Seriously, some people were walking away with two big plastic bags full of candy. I guess they're set for Halloween.

Unfortunately, I did not get over there to witness it. Being glucosely challenged (yes, I do realize that glucosely isn't really a word), I figured I'd stay here and work as opposed to a trip to Northwestern in a sugar coma.
