We're thrilled that our hard work and efforts to bring candies that contain no synthetic ingredients is being recognized by consmers and health professionals everywhere.
"Hi, I just wanted to let you know how amazing I think your company is!
I am an organic baker based in NYC, and have found a growing clientele of those who want organic food--especially in areas that are heavily commercial (i.e. wedding cakes, kids birthday cakes, etc.)
Your company is so important for the market, and as a mother I am so happy that your candy is sold in my local supermarket. We are big fans, my kids love it. I am planning to incorporate some of your hard candies into my cookies for some upcoming school charity events.
I watched some of your clips online and think you are also well spoken, and have a point of view that is very accessible.
Thanks for making the world a better place for us sweet tooths!"

"I'm sending you a very warm thank you from all the in-patients and Chemo Daycare here at Princess Margaret Hospital. We have had our volunteer's hand out all your wonderful candies to the patients here at the Hospital, they were so well received. It really means a lot to us and the patients here. So once again thank you so much for your kindness and good, it really put a smile on their faces. Thank you so much ... for our patients here; we really need and truly appreciate it. We think that Pure Fun candies are GREAT!"
-Princess Margaret Hospital, Toronto
"Dear Pure Fun, THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
For making a candy cane that does not have horrible petroleum based artificial colours in it !!!!!! How wonderful to have found you! My wife and I have for some 20 years informed parents of the dangers of allowing their children to consume artificial food dyes, and the terrible effect they have on normal healthy kids.
Thank goodness a caring, wonderful company such as yours is making such a superb range of products. ...Once again thank you so very much for caring! I did not know you existed until someone gave me a box of your great candies."

"My 3 year old son has multiple food allergies. I am excited because he can eat your candies."
-Karen, California
"I just in the last hour heard about these candy canes. I have read the label and in shock I sit and my daughter can eat these. I called my three local stores that I know of that might carry your brand. They said they were unable to get these this year. How can I get these. This is all my DD wants for Christmas". She was recently this year diagnosed with a rare GI disorder so I have had to drastically change her and the houses diet. These do not have corn in them so was so excited as that is one of the major no nos.
I was so excited last night cause my daughter has been very upset lately. Everyone gives out candy canes, Santa, etc and she canÕt have them. Thank you again!"
-Beth
"My husband purchased a box of your peppermint candy canes and having tried other natural confections before we licked cautiously and were pleasantly surprised. Our six-year old kept saying after every lick, "Hmmm, smell this candy! It smells fresh and sweet!" Needless to say, we want to buy the cotton candy next!!!"
-Maria
"Nat was so excited to be able to eat candy canes. He has several food allergies and corn is one. That means most candy is a no-no. We shared with some friends at church and they enjoyed their candy canes as much as Nat did.
Thank you for making it possible to give our children sweets that other children take for granted."
-Nat
"I haven't been able to eat gluten, refined sugar or dairy for 3 years. And haven't had candy canes at Christmas for that long either. My mom found your organic candy canes in an A&P in Georgetown, ON today. I went home to visit and haven't tasted a candy cane that was that amazing ever!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
-Heather
"Greetings!

"Hi,
After my family became quite addicted to your candy canes they disappeared from the store shelves. The whole Purefun display is gone.... My son who has Celiac Disease and usually has problems with sugar is fine with the candy canes.
They are great for digestion too..."
-Jen and Scott
"Hello,
I generally buy a box or two of candy canes to put on my Christmas tree. They look festive and
it's nice to have a snack hanging nearby. To be honest, I never really cared which brand I
bought because they all seemed to taste the same. This year my husband brought home a box of Pure
Fun candy canes. When he told me they were the best candy canes he'd ever tasted I told him he was
nuts. Peppermint is peppermint. After I tasted one Pure Fun candy cane we bought at least half
dozen boxes. They never made it to the tree. I am enjoying the second to last candy cane right
now and I just may hide the last one. And yes, I had to tell my husband that he was absolutely
right. These are, without a doubt, the very best candy canes I have ever eaten.
Thanks for making our holidays sweet."
-Donna
"I work in Volunteer Resources here at Princess Margaret Hospital; lately your wonderful company has been giving us Pure Fun candies for the patients here at Chemo daycare. They go over VERY WELL! I'm running out of them and the volunteers have been asking me if we are getting any more for them to distribute to the patients and their families." - "Of course, we'll send you more for your patients and families going through this difficult time!"

"For some FUN and THE GOOD HEALTH of the 'Parent/Student Community Health & Safety Night' gathering, Change Your Food - Change Your Life brought PURE FUNª to the party. Your PURE FUNª Organic Candy appeared in front of, AND WAS ENJOYED BY, School admin staff, parents and students. And that neighborhood's very own 'Community Activist', Miranda Taylor, HERSELF (Wearing her 'i AM what i EAT!' T-shirt), was chatting up the fame and the glory and the wholesome, healthful benefits of PURE FUN™ Better For You Candy®"
-West Seattle Elementary School Community Center
"Pure Fun Organic Candy Floss is true to its name. It is fun to eat and healthy too! Organic 'sugar' has received a bad rap because of its association to refined white 'sugar', but it is very different. There are nutrients and minerals in natural organic cane sugar that have proven to have medicinal qualities. Organic cane sugars have been used for over five thousand years. Pure Fun Organic Candy Floss dissolves immediately and does not adhere to tooth structure, has no artificial chemicals or flavorings and as long as one practices good oral hygiene, this candy is a very acceptable treat for all ages. I tried Pure Fun Candy Floss in five flavors and each was delicious. My favorite was Maple followed closely by Root Beer. I endorse Pure Fun, a group of people who want to put a smile on your face while manufacturing..."better for you candy"
-Dr. Aldo B., Dental Surgeon
"I served some Pure Fun candies to my colleagues and patients and in all cases received rave reviews. Each flavor is delicious (my special favorite is Canadian Maple). There is a great deal of controversy over the use of sugar. Organic evaporated cane sugar is a natural plant that has not undergone synthetic refinement and is directly from nature and therefore much healthier for you than conventional refined white sugar. Your use of all natural fruit and vegetable coloring without the use of pesticides is also a huge health benefit, especially in growing children. You are truly making 'better for you candy'. While there is a great deal of talk about obesity and dental carries related to sweets, the reality is that lifestyle and over indulgence is the root of many of those problems. As a newborn baby, we are born with a desire for sweets, that's what enables us to take our first meal of mother's milk and feel satisfaction. Sweets eaten in moderation definitely have benefits to the feeling of feeding our soul and spirit thus providing a feeling of joy and contentment. There are many documented psychological influences of enjoying candy that should not be overlooked with overwhelming evidence towards the positive emotional benefit in enjoying indulgence foods together with the overall benefits of treating oneself during special occasions. The important thing to remember is moderation. Your Pure Fun line of candies is a true advancement to benefitting from the pleasure centre without ingesting synthetic colors and artificial ingredients. I am very impressed that you make candy that tastes so good without using refined ingredients."
-Dr. Bozenna L., M.D., Psychiatrist
"I am searching for organic candies made from the real sources of flavor...I am an organic raw vegan...and miss the "old" sweets once in awhile...it is so nice to find a really true candy."

"It's unusual when something so good comes along that is also healthy. From a dental perspective it's heartening to see a product such as Pure Fun Candy Floss that dissolves before it has a chance to lodge between the teeth and cause decay, unlike other candies that do stick to your teeth. The fact that it tastes good makes it a good substitute for conventional candy snacks. I will recommend your candy floss to my patients as an alternative snack that is conducive to oral hygiene."
-Dr. David R., DMD, Periodontist
"I tried your candies while in Miami and anxiously await them becoming available in Brazil! I may go back to Florida just to bring home more Pure Fun!"

"I was at the All Things Organic trade show and I got some samples of your products for my son who doesn't handle refined sugar very well. He LOVES the Pure Pops, and I would like to get more of them. Lots more. Is there a store in the Ann Arbor or Detroit area where I can purchase these products? We have a daycare at our facility here at work, and we would also like to replace our other candies with your candy... so if we could find a store here, that would be great. Thank You"

"I really do Want it all. I have that with this list of people, their products and services. I recommend every one of them for exemplary value. I stand behind them and beside them but most of all I stand for them. Imagine a company that has organic candy floss?

"Every parent wants their child to be successful in school. How do you do that? What attributes should you encourage, notice and applaud? Remember applause to kids is like candy-- the reward is the more you give it, the more they want it. Which allows you to reward the behavior you hope to encourage by noticing them, and modeling it yourself. From the heart of a veteran teacher for over twenty-five years, I offer these ten attributes that I consider important for success in public schools."
