Ed I understand what the liquor stores are saying to you. I just went to the liquor store nearest to you and sent you a photo by txt. They have potato chips, pretzels, nuts, slim jims etc. If I recall many of the liquor stores sell candy and gum. So the law doesn't seem to enforced as strictly as they say. In fact your first placement was at a liquor store in Culver.

I'll see if I can find why they sell these things with the law as stated.
