TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, April 3, 2013

Greetings Infomaniacs,

I am drowning in an abundance of candy this week! My family is very generous to give me candy for Easter, but I have no self-control. Therefore, I shall take the rest to work tomorrow and share with my fellow employees. No matter what I leave in the staff lounge in the morning, it is guaranteed to be gone by lunch time!

Enjoy!
Melissa

The 3 Musketeers bar, introduced in 1932, was originally composed of three separate pieces of candy with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavorings.
