In f-i-l's family, Whitman's is given as a gift with pride. I usually pass
it up when it is passed around.
DH likes to follow the tradition, and this year when DH bought the family
candy gifts for f-i-l to pass out, I talked DH into Belgium chocolates
instead. I wonder if they were looking forward to the Whitmans - <g>
