I am not a big candy person so
1. Looked it up but I did know it wasn't Babe Ruth 2. I assumed it was family member so I was wrong 3. Didn't have a clue 4. Skittles I knew. Fan of tart as is my offspring so I've known the slogan forever 5. Didn't have a clue. I do love Wintergreen.
Maybe this isn't working? I wish others would play.
