Candy Cane is so popular that is one of decorations for Christmas or not. It has many flavors but the better are peppermint and cinnamon.
Candy Cane became famous thanks a German-Swedish immigrant in 1847. His legend tells about that candy cane first was straight as a stick and then it became a J-Shape thanks to a German choirmaster. It is said that during service one evening, the children were very noisy and they don't give attention at choirmaster. To keep them quiet he gave them a long, white, sugar candy stick. Since giving sweets at church was considered sacrilegious but he bent these sticks to make them look like a Shepherd's cane and attached a religious significance to them. It is a representation of Jesus because the white color is the purity of Christ, the stripes represent his sacrifice and the color red symbolizing his blood.
