Detroits weekly paper, METRO TIMES, showed us some love this week, in their 'Best Of Detroit' Issue, when they voted us:

"Best Place to Shop For Candy Without Looking Like Some Sort of Sugar Junkie !"

You ever get that feeling when you're a grown-up kid in an adult's world that something you genuinely love is just so frowned upon? C'mon. It happens when you sneak a smoke or skulk into a liquor store before, say, 1 p.m. It happens every time you try a pair of stilts. And it certainly happens when you throw on an NFL jersey or some other lame excuse for a costume and hit the trick or treat highway with your newborn. Sure, it's for the kid. Well there's another way. Bellyache Candy. It's an online store. Your anonymity is as sure as any online joint that ships its products in a brown paper wrapper. Started by rockers with a righteous love for current, nostalgic and cool candy, it's a little bit of online Neverland for those of us afflicted with a serious jones for high fructose corn syrup in these raw times. Pez, Wonka Bars, candy smokes — the whole nine. And get this: They release compilations of jams too. Their latest is a Halloween-themed monster party double disc featuring contributions from the brightest lights in the 313-rock firmament. Hit 'em up at www.bellyachecandyshoppe.com.
