Who knew..

this review is from: Candyman: The David Klein Story (ON DEMAND)
Who knew that inventing candy would be so difficult? Not me.. Weird Al (featured in the Doc) had a pretty good idea though. This is one of those docs you've never thought of, but happy it exists. A great and informative look into the life of David Klein, the creator of the world renowned Jelly Belly. Inspiring in some senses.
