Fun Dip 

Stylized photo of Will filling out his fun dip valentines and Mikey eating one. Hearts added for effect.
Fun Dip: the candy that lets you dip a sugar stick into sugar powder. Brilliant!

Will was writing out his fun dip valentines for friends at school and Mikey was definitely eyeing the goods…

Mikey's journal entry from February 11, 2014. Two photos: Will writing on his fun dip valentines and Mikey eating a fun dip valentine. "My brother Will gave me a valentine. He is so cool!"
My totally biased opinion: Will is coolest. Love that kid!

Will to the rescue! He had a couple of extras, so he let Mikey have one.  You can see the pure joy on Michael’s face. It’s more than a sugar high, it’s knowing his big brother has his back.
