Q: I’m trying to get a large box of Mike & Ike candies for a friend’s birthday. I see them online, but is it possible to find the giant boxes in Atlanta? I’d rather not order online if I don’t have to. They come in a bunch of different flavors in a box. Thanks. Ed Jackson, email
A: You won’t have to bother with ordering the giant box of Mike & Ike candies because the 1.56-pound box is available locally. Technically, it’s a huge box that holds five boxes of the jelly bean-like candies that come in a variety of flavors, including strawberry-banana, mango delight, watermelon and pineapple. You’ll find the box for $22.99 at It’Sugar, 264 19th Street, Atlanta, 404-815-1151.
Q: About 20 years or so ago, I wore a light cologne called Vanilla Musk. I don’t remember who made it and I haven’t seen it in years. Is it still available, preferably locally? Thank you. Meg Fisher, email
A: Launched by Coty in 1994, Vanilla Musk is a casual fragrance that brings to mind notes of sandalwood, musk, vanilla and cedar. The scent is still around, and you can find it at Wal-Mart, 4725 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, 770-395-0199. A 1-ounce spray sells for about $14.
Q: My mother can’t seem to find gunpowder green tea leaves by Twinings. She’s not interested in bags, just the loose tea. I’m not familiar with this at all, and I hope you can help me find this for her. Thanks for any help. Rich Adams, email
A: Gunpowder tea gets its name from it’s unusual shape. The leaves are rolled into tiny pellets, thus the gunpowder moniker. You can find pretty green-and-gold cans of loose Twinings gunpowder green tea for $5.99 at Cost Plus World Market, 333 Piedmont Road, Atlanta, 404-814-0801.
