My son, who has the attention span of the typical 6yr old boy, suddenly turns into a GPS system if we are anywhere within a five mile radius of the Freak Lunchbox. If he could actually touch the pedals in the car, there is no doubt in my mind he could navigate the downtown core easily and end up at this fantastic shop.

The shop is sensory overload, colorful walls, whimsical decorations, and most importantly, candy candy and more candy! With a vast selection of all your current favorite treats, as well as blasts from the past, there is surely something to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth. One wall is dedicated to gag items and fun things like Pez dispensers, and fun pop tunes are being blasted out the speaker system. (Who doesn't want to dance around whilst munching on candy!) Staff are always friendly, and can whip up a tasty milkshake on the spot.

Only two problems-dragging the boy out when it's time to go, and explaining to my trainer on Monday morning the telltale ring of chocolate around my mouth!

This store is so much fun! In addition to all the sweets and candies from my childhood, there are tons of great novelty items. My only complaint is that some of the items are overpriced, but having said that, those items may be hard to find elsewhere. It's the best place in town for a quick pick-me-up and gag gifts.
