It's been years. I used to live by the old factory on the north side and I remember you could go to the factory and buy defective and reject affy tapples (mostly with broken sticks) for maybe 25 cents.
Do they still sell the rejects at the factory? My students at the school where I teach brought up caramel apples and I immediately remembered going into the factory with a couple of bucks and leaving with a bunch of reject caramel apples.
They were so awesome.

chet everett, you've been repped!

I can't eat taffy apples anymore, because dental work, but I used to eat them all the time as a kid. I might even stop by one of these days for the nostalgia of it. Heck, if they sell a chocolate-covered apple (no caramel underneath), I'll buy it even for a full price.
