Melted candy not newsworthy
read more recent story comments Reader comments| spell-check Friday, July 9, 2010: 11:12 am More from spell-check  | Dude! If is wasn't newsworthy, why did you go to the trouble of writing a letter about it?! It's newsworthy because Martinsville is expecting a big turnout for the Artie Fest next weekend and the Candy Kitchen is a Martinsville landmark! |
| Wilbur Friday, July 9, 2010: 11:44 am More from Wilbur | Story Title: Hmmm Chocolate, or Why Did I Write That Silly Letter to the Editor Scene 1: Wilbur knocking on Andrew's forehead Line: Hello....Mc-not a clue, it's a business with standards, the owners do not want to sell sub par product and we as consumers appreciate it. This is a business with a wonderful history of excellence in confectionary delights. Keep up the good work Badgers! Line: and another thing.....the cartoon would have been funny if the firemen had pike poles..... Scene- center stage: crowd looks at Andy in sad silence because he doesn't get the joke....... Curtain falls and everyone in audience feels sad for Andy. Scene 2: Local Firefighters take Andy to a training fire and put a marshmallow on the tip of a pike pole. Andy smiles like a fat kid eating cake. Audience applauds loudly and smiles for the first time for Andy. They believe he gets it. Line from Firefighters: YEAH for Andy! Curtain closes, end of play Written and produced by-Monkey Poo Productions The Monkeys And we mean it! |

Fox59 also covered the story on their 10 pm news that evening. I wonder if Andrew also sent a letter to their website expressing his shame in their reporting? Have you ever seen a piece of "salvaged" melted chocolate? It looks terrible. Whether the taste is the same or not, some of us want our candy to look as good as it tastes. I wouldn't purchase candies that looked as if they were pulled from a dumpster. I dare say that Andrew wouldn't either. |
| Ed Friday, July 9, 2010: 1:01 pm More from Ed | Hey Andy, The Indy Star also ran the story. Be sure to write them a letter also. How's your candy store running? Sorry dude, but all you did is prove that you're one chocolate short of a full box. |
| Wilbur Friday, July 9, 2010: 2:33 pm More from Wilbur | ED, Momma said life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get LOL |
| PROUD Friday, July 9, 2010: 2:48 pm More from PROUD | ANYTHING to do with a business that has been a part of our community, as long as the Candy Kitchen has been, IS newsworthy. GOOD LUCK to the Badger Family and thank you for providing this community with a quaint historical piece of hometown pride! The sad thing is that this guy took the time to write about something that he obviously knows nothing about. get a life fella.....and your cartoon stinks! |

| alphatango Friday, July 9, 2010: 5:10 pm More from alphatango | Condition of chocolate aside..the Candy Kitchen and the family who operates it should be proud of their longevity. I mean you'd be a fool to open a shop on the square in Martinsville..they don't last for more than a year or two max. Big props to the Candy Kitchen and Summer Fun! |
| Greg Friday, July 9, 2010: 8:21 pm More from Greg | Andrew, this paper has a long-standing habit of printing garbage best used for wrapping fish. Your letter is a prime example. ;-) |
| downtown customer Friday, July 9, 2010: 9:12 pm More from downtown customer | Andrew: I would like to invite you to the Candy Kitchen to see if the Badgers might have some of this left over chocolate. Since you think it would be so tasty and look so great. Also you can see what a wonderful store we have here in the great town of Martinsville. Of course, nothing compares to Bloomington with all the fine stores and eating places there where you spend your nights cruising the town and maybe the rest of the time playing video games because you sound like a teen who knows it all. |
| Liberty Saturday, July 10, 2010: 11:02 am More from Liberty | Maybe another way of looking at it might be as a helping hand to a misfortunate local small business owner. It's not uncommon for a local newspaper to give free publicity to a local business or citizen who may need help. I would say a natural response should be to stop by the candy kitchen and buy some candy. That might be a nice thing to do to help out. Just an Idea. |
| 976 Saturday, July 10, 2010: 1:32 pm More from 976 | It wasn't newsworthy - come on people. But maybe now all of you Artie Fest nuts can cover yourselves in the Candy Kitchen's melted chocolate because I've got news for you - the Artie Fest isn't newsworthy either. We're all together in this town every single day anyway and big freaking whoop! Geesh! What a bunch of patheticness that mess is, right down to all of the former cheerleaders wearing T-shirts to identify themselves. At least everyone will get to see who got fat! |
