I like to believe the inventor of hard candies said, "Let's produce a candy for people to give away." Hard candies are for banks, real estate agencies, anywhere you want to offer candy but don't want people to be greedy. Put out Hershey's Hugs; they'll last a day. Line your lobby with Lemon Drops and you'll refill once a month. (Exceptions: butterscotches and root-beer barrels).
