 RIP Nello Ferrara, candy company giant

 The man who created Red Hots, Atomic Fireballs, Lemonheads and other candy has passed away at the age of 93.
 Everyone who was once a kid mourns his passing, although several dentists were seen dancing and singing.

I remember you could actually smell when they were making Red Hots by the Eisenhower expressway. 

My favs were Lemon Heads and Alexander the Grape.  Good stuff.

No doubt!
They make the best candy...

Heh... I'm 41 and eat more candy that all 3 of my kids combined!
