Dentists?
This is a bit late… My wife’s dentist is doing this:
Local Dentist Partners with Area Children and Sends Treats To Troops Overseas This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to any Wilson Martino Dental location or to TLC Dental and they will be paid $1 for every pound of candy they turn in! Dr. Robert Martino is leading this Thanks to the Troops movement by giving away dollars and glowing electric toothbrushes in exchange for the extra candy.
Dunno the mechanical details, but it DOES seem to be the right thing to do.
The candy must be unopened, please no bites. It will then be shipped to troops overseas.

A nice idea. Just one question: Wouldn’t most of it be chocolate? I thought that was one of the items that were not allowed to be sent to APOs.
Alice #1: As I said I dunno how it works. Just struck with the idea enough to post about it.
No chocolate, because it melts out of the packaging. Crew Chief’s take offense to slimy chocolate on their flight decks.
2004 Iraq. My wife sent a box of gourmet chocolate covered caramels. What I got, was a box of chocolately caramelly gourmet goo. I tossed it in our little hooch fridge, and broke off frozen chunks for a month.
Delicious!!
