Focus on Distinction

John laPlante's blog. The title comes from the idea that there is often some critical detail that makes all the difference in a design, a movie, an event, etc. I am espeically interested in usability and design.

Monopoolies on Halloween Candy

I went to Target to get Halloween candy and was amazed at the volume but lack of variety. A few companies seem to dominate the supply. Plenty of Hershey's chocolate, butterfingers, Reese's and peanut butter cups. I was able to find a few bags of Heath bars. Notably missing were candy from the makers of dark chocolate, Nestle, Lint, and smaller candy makers. I couldn't find Lemonheads. It is too bad because I'd love to buy better candy and hand it out. Make all the neighbor kids want to come back to my house next year.
