Season’s Eatings: Why You Shouldn’t Break Your Candy Canes
As the holiday season approaches, many of us are indulging in festive treats like candy canes. But did you know that there’s a specific way to enjoy these striped sweets?
According to experts, it’s actually considered impolite to break or twist your candy cane. Instead, you’re supposed to use them as a whole cane, savoring the flavor and texture from top to bottom.
It seems that the tradition of not breaking candy canes has been around since their early days in the 1900s when they were first made by Bob McCormack, who founded the Famous Candy Co. (now Bobs Candies). Back then, it was all about making these treats by hand and enjoying them as a whole piece.
In fact, Fox News reports that Georgia candy maker Bob McCormack is often credited with creating the iconic red-and-white striped design we know today. His innovations in packaging and mass production helped make candy canes a nationwide holiday treat.
The tradition of not breaking candy canes likely stems from this early handcrafted approach, where each piece was carefully crafted to be enjoyed as a single unit.
So, take it from the experts: don’t break your candy canes! Instead, indulge in the sweet and tangy flavors from start to finish.
