But unfortunately, people who have that condition die at relatively young ages.

Can you still get cavities from a Singaporean digital lollipop?

I wonder if our taxes pay for that candy? Silly me! They pay for all the high life in Washington.

I wonder if there’s a Senate Majority Licorice Whip.

1965? That candy must be getting a mite stale by now.

If a Democrat Senator was seated at the desk, not only would it be empty, but there’d be a bill demanding more.

You won’t find the Dum Dums in the drawer.

Our taxes being put to good use. Every one of them has a drawer full of “stupid”. I think all of them should be drug-tested every month.

Kept it full since 1965? Knowing our government and what they’re capable of; with a little investigation, I’m absolutely sure you’ll find that the Senator delegated the responsibility to someone who actually knows how to get something done. The Senator has been eating the candy since 1965. If you want to call that an accomplishment ; then YAAAYYY! ! !

I’ll go one better! Senator rotten teeth very likely has stale candy thrown out on a regular basis and replaced with fresh candy. What’s that; you ask how he can afford to do such a thing? Anybody out there want to guess who’s actually paying for his 49 years of extravagance?

Taxpayers do not pay for that candy, it’s a brib…. err “gift” from the HFCS (High fructose corn syrup) lobbyists, to remind them they are in their back pockets

In my day I had a yummie jar on the desk I used and kept it filled with various nuts, made sure it was always cleaned and with fresh stuff. Seemed that when folks had something that they could munch on then the ideas come out. The jar was always open to all comers .
