If your sweetheart has a sweet tooth, then you need to know about a chocolate shop in Startup.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, these chocolates are classified as a highly-addictive controlled substance in some states. Symptoms of withdrawal include grumbling stomach, blurry vision and an uncontrollable desire to drive to Startup.

Toothapalooza. The Imagine Children’s Museum is focusing on dental health all month.

After your kids fill up on candied hearts, take them to the museum. They can run off the sugar high and learn lessons to save you from robbing the college fund to pay the dentist.

And yes, one of the events is really called Toothapalooza. (For those keeping track at home, that’s event No. 1,978,490 named Something-or-other-apalooza.)

Kellogg has offended a very valuable market segment: potheads. The cereal company canceled a deal with swimmer Michael Phelps after he was photographed smoking pot in a bong. Legal-pot advocates are vowing a boycott of Kellogg’s munchies.

The marijuana enthusiasts are fired up — and possibly lighting up, but that’s beside the point.

This is the first time in memory that potheads have both summoned the energy to be outraged and given up munchies.
