One Minnesota Town won the Minnesota "Best in Glass" competition after a blind taste test of the city's water.

The City of Bloomington recently emerged victorious in Minnesota's "Best in Glass" competition, showcasing the exceptional quality of its municipal water supply.

This contest involves a blind taste test of water samples from various cities across the state and highlights the importance of clean and palatable drinking water in communities.

The blind taste test format ensures an unbiased evaluation, allowing judges to focus solely on the water's flavor, clarity, and overall sensory experience without being influenced by preconceived notions about different municipalities.

This achievement may have positive implications for Bloomington, potentially boosting tourism, attracting new residents, and even supporting local businesses that rely on high-quality water, such as breweries and restaurants.

It also serves as a reminder of the often-overlooked importance of municipal water quality in our daily lives.

Bloomington will now compete in the International American Water Works Association "Best in Glass" water-tasting competition in Denver in June 2025. 

Inside Minnesota's Largest Candy Store

I had been to Minnesota's Largest Candy Store once before, but they did some pretty cool things since the last time I was there. They added a bunch of superheroes, Star Wars stuff, and a candy band.

According to their Facebook page, Jim's Apple Farm is actually how the now huge candy store got its start. It is located in Jordan, MN and you can't miss it. It is a huge yellow building.

Even though candy is mentioned in the name, they have a little bit of everything. They have fresh baked pies and cookies and fudge. We walked in and it smelled amazing!

They also have the largest selection of sodas! Then there is chocolate and taffy and gummies and chips and puzzles and games. So much stuff!

They even have a Zoltar machine like in the movie, Big. I had to check that out. He told me the only helping hand is at the end of my arm. Gee, thanks Zoltar.

There were even crickets and worms! Not gummy worms, but actual worms.
They also have candy from all over the world!

The store is seasonal, however. November is their last month of operation for the season.
