IT'SUGAR

You know how when you go on vacation you find these random stores that are really neat, but if they were around every day, they just wouldn't be that great?  You would just balk at how expensive they are, and you would never shop there.  IT'SUGAR is kind of like that.

They actually have color mixes for certain sports teams.

Located at Broadway at the Beach, IT'SUGAR is a candy store.  It has pretty much everything.  They have bins, so you can buy your candy in bulk. They have a wall of M&Ms in a vast array of colors.  They have more Pez dispensers than I can count.

These are rainbow sour belts.  They

actually have at least a half

dozen flavors, if I'm not mistaken.

Like sour candy?  They're got tubs of it.  They even have a section of gimmick candy.  You can buy Stay Puft marshmallows, inspired by Ghostbusters; they have caffeine in them.  Additionally, there is a section of Wonka brand candy and merchandise.

Mark really appreciates that they sell

grape Laffy Taffy in the big bars.

For the candy sold by the pound, there are resealable bags in abundance.  You can also choose a container to fill for a set price.  Of course, all of the prices are pretty hefty.  The only reason we ended up there was my craving for gummy worms.  I could have gone to Wal-Mart of BiLo, but I felt like having an adventure.

Perhaps the best thing about IT'SUGAR is the selection and ability to purchase small amounts of different items.  Want to try the seven different types of gummies?  Easily done.  You do have to be careful though.  Some of the candies that maybe don't sell as well can be hard.  Of course, you just poke them with the tongs to decide whether or not to buy.

Fact: gummy peach rings are not a fruit.

The store is rather large, with enough space for browsing.  There is nothing worse than finding a store you want to explore just to find out that you can't because there isn't room to turn around.  With this being the off season, there were maybe five other people in the store.  Even in high summer, you can navigate IT'SUGAR.

Spacious!

The employees are what you would expect for this type of establishment.  They don't seem to really care, but they're nice enough.  They were actually incredibly unprofessional, discussing having problems with the boss, whether at this job or another.  As long as they can ring me out though, I guess it's not a big deal.

I want to buy all the sour candies and send them to Rick.

IT'SUGAR also has some neat ads.  They have attractive young ladies pictured with the various candies available.*  They're not out of this world amazing, but they are kind of neat.

IT'SUGAR is definitely a bit on the pricey side, but it is a fun store to browse in.  Just don't go overboard if you decide to pick up some treats.  Mark and I hit up the bulk candy and quickly blew past $20.  We got a little bit of a lot of things.  The store is fun, but it should be taken in moderation.

Giant lollies!

*The one where the girl has chocolate smeared on her face like a mask is just plain gross.  It is definitely the exception.  As an ad, it is just disgusting looking.
