The Real Candy Man

I know. I’ve admitted that I’m not fond of trivia puzzles but jeez, this should be a little fun. I have a sweet tooth that never seems to be satisfied. So creating this puzzle let me think about all the ways I could quench that desire for the taste of something delicious.

All you need to do is guess the brand name and use the name’s first letter to represent the answer (a = 1, b = 2, n = 14, o = 15, y = 25, z = 26)

Here’s my shopping list of favorites.

A. - Drinking instruments for Pee Wee
B. - Indian burial ground
C. - River in western Montana & northern Idaho
D. - Candy people often drop
E. - Ziggy’s crazy twin
F. - English ruling house of 1461-85
G. - Snide, slightly stifled laugh
H. - Dairy cows that are dried up
I. - Various parts of famous Dodger from Louisville
J. - 1000 and 1000 in roman numerals

K. - The cardinal # associated with an empty nest
L. - Candy nobody can recall the name
M. - After the letters S V H W
N. - Named after Milton
O. - Dustin Hoffman’s sweetie snack
P. - Domesticated felines
Q. - 15th and 30th of every month
R. - The roman god of war
S. - Our galaxy
T. - A nutty happiness

Use this equation to discover the real coordinates

N39- (A-B-3) (C-D) . (E-F) (G-H-1) (I-J-3)
W84-(K-L-2) (M-N-5) . (O-P) (Q-R) (S-T-7)
