So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
I kinda liked that candy, the raspberry thingies were good. My Grandma would look down her nose at it though... "It's not the Brachs"...

My favorite all time candy is Brach's chocolate 'stars'. You can hardly find them any more. Walgreens sold them for awhile a few years ago but now they don't. My SIL bought me some for Christmas one year but she had to order them off the internet.

An interesting note here about the 'grandma smell'. I've said this thing for years, "it smells like old people in here' or something along those lines when going into really old people's homes. I finally decided to Google it one time and sure enough, as people get older they do produce some kind of chemical that is responsible for the 'old people smell'. I just thought that was interesting. lol.

Grandma kept an immaculately clean home that always smelled like whatever she was baking or had baked. I loved the smell.
I never heard of candy taking on a smell. However I agree that this candy was yukky.

Personally I've never thought of 'old people smell', never even considered it tho I think we've all been around some folk who have poor hygiene regardless of age. Same with homes with musty smells, I don't think its 'age' related per se tho probably some elderly and/or infirmed are more prone to it. I've been around plenty of elderly and most smell fine.

Like other body odors, this "old person smell" is produced when chemicals from the skin glands get broken down into small odorous molecules that waft away into the air. The specific chemical that gives old folks their unique odor, scientists suspect, is a compound called 2-nonenal. Created by the oxidative breakdown of other chemicals over time, it produces what's described as an "unpleasant greasy and grassy odor" in people and is also responsible for some of the "cardboard" flavor of stale beer.
In 2000, Japanese researchers found that people's concentration of 2-nonenal increased with age. They had 22 people, ranging in age from 26 to 75, wear odor-collecting shirts to bed for a few nights and then analyzed the molecules that adhered to the cloth. They found more 2-nonenal in the shirts worn by people over 40 years old than they did in the younger subjects. And in the over-40 crowd, the concentration of 2-nonenal increased significantly with age, with the oldest subject producing almost three times as much as the middle-aged subjects.
