If you\u2019ve ever wondered how candy corn is made or whether Baby Ruth bars really float, as in the movie Caddy shack, then this engaging collection of food for thought is guaranteed to satisfy your hunger for knowledge. As well as delving into candy facts and myths such as the so-called \u2018sugar high\u2019 and the long history of making sweetmeats, the authors explore the chemistry of a candy store full of famous treats, from Tootsie Rolls to Pixy Styx and from Jawbreakers to Jordan Almonds. They reveal what makes bubble gum bubbly and why a Charleston Chew is so chewy.<\/p>\n<p>Written in an engaging, accessible and humorous style that makes you laugh as you learn, Candy Bites doesn\u2019t shy away from the hard facts or the hard questions, about candy. It tackles the chemistry of hydrocolloids in gummy bears alongside the relationship between candy and obesity and between candy and dental cavities. The chapters open a window on the commercial and industrial chemistry of candy manufacture, making this book a regular Pez dispenser of little-known, yet captivating factoids.<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    Copernicus; 2014th edition (March 29, 2014)   <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    English   <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    283 pages   <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    146149382X   <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    978-1461493822   <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    2.31 pounds   <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                    :                                    \u200e                                    6.1 x 0.64 x 9.25 inches   <\/p>\n<p><b>Price:<\/b> <span style=\"color:#b12704\"><del>$39.99<\/del> - $16.98<\/span><br \/><i><small>(as of Mar 11, 2025 13:10:55 UTC &#8211; <span class=\"wp_automatic_amazon_disclaimer\" title=\"Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date\/time indicated and are subject to change.
