“I wish to have lots of candy”
Cody , age 5

This wish story makes me feel:
 

As most 5-year-olds, Cody absolutely adores candy. He just can't get enough of the stuff. As Cody discussed his one most heartfelt wish with his wish granters, he always went back to his favorite subject. Yes, the same subject that transforms 5-year-olds into unstoppable bundles of energy and leads to millions of full tummies every Halloween. More than anything in the entire world, Cody wanted lots of candy — and he wanted to receive his candy at "the place where candy was made."

What better locale for Cody to realize his wish than the chocolate capital of America, Hershey, Pennsylvania? Cody couldn't agree more, hence he and his family traveled from their Pacific Northwest home to the land of all sweet things. During their stay in Hershey, Cody and his family enjoyed all of the wonderful rides and attractions — including dancing Hershey's Kisses, skating lollipops, and unending candy. Cody has a special affinity for red licorice and blue suckers, and he enjoyed a "healthy" supply of those as well.

Cody's experience in Hershey was everything he wished for, and then some. His wish reflected the spontaneous, childlike nature of wishes.

  • What a great wish! I commend his parents for staying out of it and letting him dream up what he wanted. It was all about Cody and his candy! How SWEET!
