The good news is that Summer 2009 is finally here (well, almost…)  And with the heat of the summer comes the less than sizzling summer TV shows.  Now, I’m not against all of the reality TV that is being thrown at us – but how many times can we watch a blonde girl – or just a Tough Guy WannaBe – consume worms, bugs, insects and other creepy crawlers?  I mean – Come On!  If you really want to bite Mother Nature on the ass – then talk a hike down to the Bella Mia Candy Store at 1096 Hertel Avenue.  This Buffalo candy store has an adequate (whoa – check that…) MORE than adequate inventory of HotLix bug candy and other insect candies.  Personally, if you really want to host a great Survivor party with your friends or get in the mood to view any of those Lost episodes from last season – what better item to get you into that Tropical Island mood than chomping on some tasty Bug Candy.

From the number of items that have been “flying out the door” at the Bella Mia Candy Store  – no, not literally – the vast majority of online customers for bug candy have been female.  Surprised?  Thought so! Now that definitely throws down a Gender Gauntlet for any of you guys to pick up and challenge the opposite sex.  For me, I have no immediate plans to pop no stinkin’ insect into my cake hole!  No way!  But Hey – that’s just me…

There is just something about going to a summer picnic – or possibly the Drive-In on a hot summer night – to get you into the mood for Buffalo’s upcoming warm weather.  Just don’t call the boys from Terminex – they just would NOT understand.  A lot of things in Life are going to bug you – but HotLix Insect candy should not be one of them.

Father’s Day is just around the corner.  What better way to see “dad” Man-Up in front of the family than give him a surprise gift box, and as he unwraps his first Scorpion Sucker – then pops it into his mouth while Mom is in the room.  Better yet – just unwrap some of these Bad Boy Bug Candies and pass them around your dinner table and see who is the first one to bolt!
