The candies are great but not as a substitute for grog, except maybe in an emergency at work where you must CALMMMM!!! NOWWW!!! and slam a few, good to have on hand. But rather, candies are great as a supplement to grog. Have one while prepping the grog. Have one as the grog is wearing off. Have one in the middle of a bodacious krunk. Have one for breakfast. Wake up in the night and eat a candy and go back to sleep. Eat one while you're in the shower. Whatever. They're wonderful. One is great. Two is great. Three is great. Four is great. They're great. I buy two cases at a time.
