All this talk about caramel apples has me jonesing for one now. I
pretty much stopped buying them after they soared past $5 for the hand
dipped candy store variety. How much does your wife charge for the
plain one? As much as I love them, it's just an apple with sweet
brown sticky stuff on it and a few nuts if you want to pony up a
little more.

I hope they figure it out, but I'm pretty sure nothing will be
concluded and the situation will just quietly fade away. That's the
usual scenario.
