A little about Todd & Bob
Both Todd and Bob were born up north, but both moved to Florida at a young age so they're technically "crackers." Speaking of crackers - does anyone remember "Sociables?" Those were some seriously good crackers. I wonder if you can still get them.
Anyway, after studying very hard in high school and college, both Todd and Bob decided to untertake the lucrative career of being full time radio personalities, and part-time underwear models. Today the two have a combined 50+ years of on air experience, the last 12 of which they've spent together on the "Todd and Bob" show.
Todd and Bob have become as much a southwest Florida tradition as blue-tarped roofs and red-tide. Wait a minute, there's got to be a better way to put that. Well, let's just say a lot of people wake up with Todd and Bob each day and have come to depend on their easy-going yet fast paced, fun morning program.
What does the future hold for these two veterans of the local airwaves? We can't reveal all the secrets quite yet, but rumor has it Todd is putting his doctorate in Organic Chemistry to good use and is working on inventing a cheap substitute for air - while Bob continues to follow his interest in potato figure sculpting and pesticide-free lawn and garden maintenance.

 Todd's "Cherry Chasers Challenge" 
(by Todd Matthews)
It's Lakes Of Tuscana to the rescue!!
Update: Just as I was about to give up hope I got a very pleasant surprise from the nice people at Lakes Of Tuscana apartments in Port Charlotte! They actually went out of their way to track down some similar looking Cherry Sours in a local candy store., and present them to me along with a goody bag and some balloons.
Honestly, I was blown away that someone cared enough to go to all that effort! I haven't tried the replacement candies yet, but they look identical and I'll let you know how they taste as soon as I get a chance to try them.
But there's more to the story than just a candy delivery: the fact that someone else cared! I tend to think of our world as moving to fast and being to comlplicated for most of us, and therefore we just don't have the time and energy to care anymore like we used to in the "good ole days."
Then, something like this happens and it proves me wrong. A big Todd Tip-Of-The-Hat to the gang at Lakes Of Tuscana, because they've renewed my faith in not just human kindness, but our nation's candy makers as well!

Todd's "Cherry Chasers Challenge"
This is one of those circumstances where our webmaster has asked one of us "DJ's" to write our own blog rather than have him take care of it.
And I should start by saying that I really do realize that NOBODY in their right mind should care about this. And I mean NOBODY. I shouldn't even care about something so trivial and silly...but many would say I'm also not in my right mind.
Frankly, it just goes to show how lame a life I lead that I could let the simple discontinuation of a particular kind of candy affect me so much. But it has.
Those who are close to me and care about my mental well-being are concerned too because in my 26 years of broadcast experience, I've never asked a radio audience to help out in such a ridiculous fashion.
Donate to a good cause? Sure! Volunteer to help a charity? Right on! But ask for a personal favor? And a really, really stupid personal favor? It's very much unlike me. So I understand why some are concerned.
Anyway, here's the sitch: I fell in love with a specific kind of candy called Sour Cherry Jels, made by Market Pantry Foods and distributed by Target Stores. I had become mildly addicted to these little buggers,and then *poof* -- Target pulled the plug and they will make them no more. I know I wasn't the only one who liked these things because whenever I returned to buy a couple of bags I noticed their stock would diminish beyond what my "habit" would require. Here's a picture of the addictive little guys....
Soooo, I've turned to the T&B audience for help. I'm asking anyone who ever bought and enjoyed this candy to contact me so we can form a group and begin a grass roots effort to get Target to reverse their decision. I've started calling our ad-hoc group "Todd's Cherry Chasers." I think it has a nice ring to it - don't you?
Anyway, as the leader of our little band of concerned candy activists, I'm continuing to investigate how we can best go about having our voices heard. I'll follow up with an update each day until we either get some action from the retail giant, or I get carted off by some nice men to a safe facility where I can't hurt myself. Whichever comes first.
