Candy
cigarettes, bubble gum cigars and bubble gum made to look like chewing tobacco
have been among a host of vintage sugary treats that a St. Paul “back-in-the-day”
soda shop has kept in stock since it opened in April.
According to
the Star Tribune, Lynden’s Soda
Fountain pulled the
fake smokes after officials said the store would face a misdemeanor citation
and a $500 fine for noncompliance.
How
would a pencil pusher from the city’s Safety and Inspections Department flush
out the offending shop owner’s candy cigarettes?
"Somebody
from Bloomington called and reported us," the shop’s owner Tobi Lynden
said. "The whole thing is pretty weird."
What
about the sale of Aunty’s Spotted Dick Pudding? I understand Ace and his merry band of morons and
moronettes have a running gag about pudding.
You know what they say, “When they outlaw pudding, only
outlaws will have pudding.”
