Whoops! Boozy Candy is a No-No in Minnesota Without This

Uh-Oh!  And honestly, I wouldn't have thought of this, either...probably.

THIS WAS A WHOOPSIE FOR SURE - IS THIS COMMON KNOWLEDGE

You know that giant candy store down in Jordan?  The big one that is all yellow - Minnesota's Largest Candy Store.  Well, they are now facing asome charges over selling a certain candy to a minor.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE DRINKING AGE IS - AND IT DOES APPLY TO CANDY

This is seriously something that I may have not thought of either.  There is candy that is infused with different types of alcohol.  It's not that much in a little piece of candy, so there is that chance that people may not really think about that type of candy being sold to a minor.  But, we would all be wrong, if you think like I do.  It's still alcohol, and it was sold to a minor.  You cannot do that.  You also cannot sell that to someone over 21 without a liquor license either.

WHY MAKE THIS COMPLAINT ANONYMOUSLY

This was brought up by an anonymous person complaining that the candy had been sold to a minor.  Not sure why the complaint came in anonymously, but that is what happened.

From Bring Me the News:

Robert M. Wagner, the 66-year-old owner of the popular store along Highway 169 in Jordan, allegedly told investigators that he knew his store wasn’t licensed to sell alcohol but “believed” he “could sell all the alcoholic confections and beverage candies,” according to charges filed Oct. 27 in Scott County District Court.

NOW THERE WILL BE A COURT DATE COMING NEXT MONTH

So, now what?  Obviously the candy in question needs to be taken off the shelves.  The candy actually states right on the packaging that it is unlawful to sell to someone under the age of 21.  That was missed.  And also, when it was sold to even someone of legal drinking age, there were no other procedures used to sell the alcohol infused candies.

Now, wagner, the owner will have to appear in court via Zoom on December 18th.  After that is when he will find out what type of punishment, other than removing the candy, will happen.  Fine? Stayed sentence? Or something more?
