Teddy Bears: Molasses

Barber Poles Dept: They taste of violets, cinnamon, wintergreen and molasses, according to The Star. They are the candies we ve loved for decades. Each is a ticket back to childhood and they resemble barber poles, spearmint leaves and teddy bears. They come imprinted with messages, impaled on sticks or rolled in cornstarch. We buy them in bulk or wrapped in comic strips. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
