Those facts are making me hungry! I wonder if you could possible eat that candy cane of 58 feet and 2 1/4 inches!

Anyway, thanks for the facts and have a Merry Christmas!

I always hang a few candy canes in my tree but here in Belgium nobody knows it is part of the Christmas traditions so I always get surprised reactions from people when they see my tree !
