What Does One Zucchini Say About This Las Vegas Woman

Normally at the grocery store, you go in to buy a few things...but what does buying one zucchini say about this Las Vegas woman? Now to be honest, the Las Vegas woman in question is one Carla Rea. The same woman who is on The Mike & Carla Morning Show.

It's quite the funny story to be honest and one that only Carla could tell. So, imagine heading over to your friend's house where they are making dinner and you get a text to pick up something. All that's needed is a nice size zucchini for the pasta that's being prepared.

Now keep in mind that on the surface to Mike O'Brian, this all sounds like "code"! C'mon, be honest, bring over a zucchini for my pasta dish? If that's not code, it very well could be right?

And on top of everything else, holding on to her zucchini at the store, Carla runs into a couple of friends. Even after she explained the story behind her holding onto a zucchini, they didn't even buy it!

Here's the topper though, going up to the counter to pay for it and Carla doesn't have enough cash to pay for the vegetable that only costs $1.10! The next step, she has to whip out her bank card and put the measly $1.10 on her card!

And the looks she got from other customers were starting to make her fill just a bit uncomfortable! Even Mike asked if she had put it in one of those plastic bags...and she hadn't!

Carla did admit she should have just bought a few more items...like gum, a comb and maybe some Twinkies! In the end, it all worked out, but see what a simple ask can turn into?

Listen to the segment and see if this has ever happened to you...and if it has, let us know!

Today is National Chocolate Candy Day. Which is convenient timing since we all got some form of candy for Christmas. Well, today you can feel free to polish it off without guilt. And if it's already gone, go get some more!

Las Vegas has a lot of everything, it seems. And candy stores are no exception. Of course, we have to keep locals and tourists alike happy. And candy puts a smile on everyone's face. Can you imagine a world without candy? I don't want to. But it was reality for many people not that long ago.

Before the 1800s, chocolate was only consumed in liquid form. And even then mostly as a medicinal drink. It was a scientist who turned it into solid form. In 1828, a Dutch inventor named Coenraad Van Houten used a hydraulic press to remove cocoa butter from the cacao bean. Why there are no statues erected for the man who literally invented chocolate the way we love it today, is beyond me.

Van Houten paved the way for chocolate makers down the line to create confectionary masterpieces. In 1842, Whitman came out with their first box of chocolate. The first edible chocolate bar came soon after, in 1847, courtesy of J.S. Fry & Sons. It wasn't until 1875 that John Cadbury made his first chocolate egg. Rodolphe Lindt started making his delectable truffles in 1879.

And here's an interesting fact: the Hershey bar we all know and love was designed to be part of an emergency ration pack for U.S. soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day (nationalcalendarday.com).

Of course, there are people who prefer the non-chocolate type of candy (weirdos). So where do you go in Las Vegas for really really good candy, chocolate or otherwise? This list is a tasty place to start. - Wendy Rush
