For years when I have taught about the Hellenistic age and the conquests of Alexander the Great, I have referenced the famous pun-named candy "Alexander the Grape." I LOVED this candy when I was young, and consumed way too much of it for my own good. So, one can imagine my dismay when it disappeared from stores sometime in the 90's.
I often referenced it during class whenever Alexander came up though - both for a funny anecdote, and to help kids remember the importance of the Hellenistic era - for which Alexander is most responsible..
So, He's back. Let's all hope that more historically themed candy can crawl back into our lives asap.
