Candy now warms the heart as well as delights the taste buds. Clever habitancy have discovered a way to tell one's life history through the use of candy. The story is displayed on large poster boards where candy bars or other treats such as gum or peanuts are glued onto the board to replace words. The story is then read out loud at a party to celebrate the event. These sweet stories are most often used at milestones such as a 40th or 50th birthday but can also be used to celebrate anniversaries, promotions, or a retirement. The only limit is one's imagination!
To illustrate, here is an example of an anniversary tale told with the candy story board. Where the word is capitalized, the treat would be glued to replace the written word. Poetic license is taken with both grammar and the facts in order to use as many pieces of candy as possible. To illustrate, this story board was written for the silver anniversary of Hank and Kathy Thomas.
