Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
A couple of weeks ago, we happened upon an unusual find at our local Sunflower Market on Southern and McClintock Rd. in Tempe. Plopped in their bulk section, right where we discovered the most amazing chocolate-covered dried cherries on a previous excursion, is a Sweet's salt water taffy island.
| Hurry, before this taffy boat sails away. |
At $2.99 a pound, they're a steal. We scored a bag of the stuff on a trip to Florida last month and prices there ranged from about eight bucks a pound to nearly twelve. If you know anyone who grew up on the coast, you'll definitely earn brownie (or taffy?) points if you stick a few handfuls in their holiday stocking.
Be sure to stop by Sunflower soon, since the little taffy boat will likely be replaced by chocolate oranges and holiday M&M's any day now.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
