Martha,

I can't tell you how excited I was to learn that you were doing a segment about Papabubble NYC, the shop my son, Chris Grassi and his partner, Fiona own.

He called after the filming and then after the show was on in NY. I could hardly wait the three hours until it was shown in California.

I know the process and the techniques used to create the candy but as I watched, I felt as moved as when I watched Chris as a child, the first time he did an oral report, or a musical performance. And now making this sensory pleasing candy.

I thank you for giving me the greatest valentine gift - watching my son creating something that gives so much pleasure. Thank you and your staff for this opportunity. Barbara

Hi Cindy,

You will absolutely love the original (1982) entertaining book. I got mine at a garage sale for a couple of bucks a few years back and I think I got a good deal don't you think ha!

Enjoy reading it.

Martha you have always come up with some awesome shows. The segment on the Papabubble candy was so cool. I was wondering if you knew anything about franchise opportunities on the Papabubble stores. I searched all over the internet and couldn't find anything about company contact information and/or franchise possibilities?

Thank you as always for sharing.

Hi Martha, It's absolutely amazing how many of your blogs bring back wonderful memories of the subject at hand. This one takes me back to the '60's and '70's when I was a teacher of 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th graders, depending on the year. We used to be allowed to take our classes on field trips and one of our favorite trips was to a small candy factory in downtown Seattle. We got to watch them make everything from taffy to jelly beans. The kids were always enthralled with each process and especially happy when they each got a big bag of candy. Your fantastic trip to Papabubble reminded me of how candy canes were made. It was so much fun to watch you having as much fun as all of my kids did. Thanks again for sharing. Jan

My daughter and I loved the show.Alison was so inspried (she is 15) by the candy show she would like to try to make her own candy.
The best thing I like about your show is that you inspire us to do these things for ourselves.
Happy Valentines Day Martha
