This past December my fiancé and I were visiting Tallahassee from out of state, and we made a point to visit Lofty Pursuits while we were there. The hat stand was there in the store, and I immediately recognized it as the mannequin head from Willy Wonka. I thought it was a great nod from one candymaker to another. Greg popped in for a few minutes while we were there. He looked like he was busy, but was nice enough to stay and talk with us for a minute while we were there. Also, the brunch was fantastic. If you ever go to the store, make sure it's a day/time when you can get the brunch. Thank you Greg!

It's harder to keep these things running when you might think. It's also a lot of fun

I did actually order a batch of this Imagination candy, and I have a tier list. I had so much fun with my order: 1) Apple Cider - Tastes like I just bit into a perfectly ripe apple and drank juice at the same time. Perfection. 2) Sweet Corn - Threw my whole household for a loop for it DID taste exactly like biting into a fresh buttered corn on the cob with salt and pepper. 12/10 would have again. 3) Blueberry Pie - It's not bad, but, it didn't really wow us either. Shocked that we liked the corn one a bit better. 4) Candy Ham - Also not bad but.. weird? Yeah, just weird, but it's still tasty? Tastes like how a roasted Sunday ham smells but with extra sweet to it. Would recommend people try it at LEAST once.
